No.1 Hunger to get that ring

After a Sweet 16 loss in the 2016 NCAA Tournament, the players felt they let their coach and themselves down. No one likes to lose, especially our Wildcats. Everyone wanted to get that ring, especially for Coach Miller. He is one of the few coaches left that hasn’t yet overcome that the Final Four hurdle. Alkins and Trier specifically were torn up by the loss in the NCAA Tourney last season and both have said they wanted a chance to rectify their record.

Coach Miller has taken the Cats to the Elite Eight three times, but has not made it to the Final Four. He has accomplished a lot during his tenure as coach for the Wildcats, but if there was anyone who deserved a trip to the Final Four and a ring it would be coach Miller – time to cut those nets down!

Ira Lee and Ayton feel the same way:
