Arizona Head Coach, Tommy Lloyd, remains focused on the present as his team awaits Selection Sunday for the NCAA Tournament. Despite being projected as a No. 4-seed, Lloyd is ready for whatever seed they are given and is excited to participate in the tournament. He acknowledged the team’s disappointment in their recent loss to Houston in the Big 12 Tournament Championship and emphasized the need for improvement on defense.
Lloyd expressed confidence in Arizona’s defensive capabilities but acknowledged the need to step up as competitors and tighten up their defensive play. Defensive metrics show that Arizona ranks as a middling defensive team compared to other tournament-bound teams. The Wildcats will need to improve defensively to compete in the NCAA Tournament.
Throughout the Big 12 Tournament run, Arizona relied on their offense to push them ahead, but Lloyd knows that defense will be crucial in the NCAA Tournament. The bracket will be revealed Sunday afternoon, and Arizona is ready to face whoever is on their line. Lloyd is determined to close the gap between his team and top-seeded teams like Houston and is focused on getting his team ready for the challenges of the tournament ahead.
