The Arizona Wildcats are hoping to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament this year, with their eyes set on reaching the Elite Eight for the first time since 2015 and possibly making it to the Final Four for the first time since 2001. Experts have varying predictions on how far the No. 4 seed Wildcats will go in the tournament.
Some experts, such as Borzello, Cohen, and Moore, predict that Arizona will make it to the Sweet 16 but fall to Duke in that round. Meanwhile, Fanta predicts that the Wildcats will suffer a first-round upset at the hands of Akron. NBC Sports’ Nicole Auerbach foresees Arizona making it to the second round before being eliminated by Oregon.
The Sporting News’ Bill Bender believes that Arizona will reach the Sweet 16 after victories over Akron and Liberty by ultimately losing to Duke. Though opinions differ on how far the Wildcats will go, many experts seem to agree that Duke is a strong contender and could potentially win the tournament.
The Wildcats have shown improvement throughout the season, especially with the emergence of Henri Veesaar, making them a formidable opponent. However, facing powerhouse teams like Duke will prove to be a tough challenge for Arizona. Ultimately, only time will tell if the Wildcats can surpass expectations and reach the Elite Eight or even the Final Four this year.
