Can Arizona bring glory back to the West after a 29-year men's NCAA Tournament title drought?

INDIANAPOLIS — Bill Walton would have loved this Arizona team.That’s the sentiment shared by family and friends of the late Hall of Famer, the biggest, loudest, most bombastic champion of West Coast basketball. That magnificent mouthpiece never failed to remind viewers that he adored the Pac-12 and all its teams, and despised its demise. He’d be the first to boast about these Wildcats from the West, the ones with a chance to snap the streak of East Coast teams collecting all the national championships and with them, all the fun. He’d declare that this is the moment, finally, for the drought to end. He’d command that a tide of titles come the way of the West.Advertisement
