South No. 6 – Arizona (Overall: 25-8, Conf: 12-6)
Team Strengths:
Arizona has few – if any – holes on offense. The Wildcats can throw it inside to Kaleb Tarczewski and Ryan Anderson; Gabe York is a knockdown shooter; and Kadeem Allen and Allonzo Trier are talented wings that can both shoot and get to the rim. That terrific balance will make their offense very tough to stop. They can also dominate the painted area with their great size in the frontcourt and athleticism on the wings.

Team Weaknesses:
The Wildcats have a slight problem closing out games. Seven of Arizona’s eight losses have been by just six points or fewer. York and Trier are good, but they lack that truly elite star that could pull them out of tight situations against the very best teams in the tourney.Team Stats:
