Arizona Wildcats First Bracketology Breakdown of the 2015-16 Season

According to Joe Lunardi’s first official Bracketology of the 2015-16 season it looks like the Arizona Wildcats are again the frontrunner in a competitive Pac-12.

The Cats are seeded No. 4 in the West

, and besides Cal , have the

highest Pac-12 seed out of Lunardi’s 68 teams. Traditionally if the regular season Pac-10/12 Champion has a solid year the committee unofficially rewards that team with letting them stay in the West.

This would be great for the Cats in 2016 because the West Regional is again in Southern California at the Honda Center in Anaheim. Arizona has lost Elite Eight games in 1998, 2003, 2011 and 2014 in Mickey’s neighborhood.

Playing in Anaheim is not all bad because of the strong Arizona fan base in Southern California and it’s short proximity to Tucson can make it feel like a home game.

Lot’s of things have to go right for the Cats to be playing late in March, so let’s take a look at who the Cats will be playing this year in the regular season that Lunardi has listed in his Bracketology.
