New Reasons
They’ve already beat Tennessee twice. This is the ideal matchup for a Sweet Sixteen. Wildcat fans must be salivating looking at this game.
They grabbed eight fewer rebounds than Illinois and still won by nine.
They could meet the Arkansas Razorbacks led by Coach Cal for a rematch in the championship. It’s a reunion and a showdown. Old friends turned into new foes. Hollywood hasn’t written this good of a script since La La Land.
THEY HAD 14 STEALS?? For a second I thought I was watching a penitentiary league game with the amount of robbery going on.
Original Reasons
There is an asteroid-sized chip on their shoulder. This team has wins over Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Missouri, and two wins over Tennessee. Sure, it has a bad loss or two, but this is March. All regular-season mistakes are forgiven. All that matters is that you can beat the best. Clearly, they can.
Their hypothetical route to the Elite 8 is Troy, UCLA, and Tennessee, which they’ve knocked off twice already. They would then play Houston, which does not have the size to guard Kentucky. Then Duke, which they’ve beat already, and Florida, which they’ve beat already. These are hypotheticals, but it looks pretty good for the Wildcats.
Senior Amari Williams is from Nottingham, England. This feud is nationalistic for him, he’s playing for the UK after all.
