Arizona's resume is a blend of high-octane offense and a rollercoaster defensive performance. They have proven they can hang with the best, touting a marquee win against a blue-blood program like Duke, and coming out on top in a clash with Alabama. Even in their loss against a top-ranked Purdue, they demonstrated resilience and fire-power. However, consistency has been an albatross, evidenced by the unexpected slip-ups against Stanford and Washington State. The Wildcats' offense is their ticket to a dance deep into March, but if they're to be a true contender, refining their defensive tenacity is critical. Quality wins can do wonders, while losses to lower-tier competition can be a snag—Arizona has had a taste of both. Their potential for success in the tournament is tethered to the discipline they show on both ends of the court going forward.
