A Look Back At Arizona's Two Games In Spain
A Look Back At Arizona's Two Games In Spain
The Arizona Wildcats proved why many believe it will be one of the best teams for the 2017-18 season during two big wins in Spain.
A trip of a lifetime was unfortunately cut short, but Arizona certainly made the most of its time abroad in Spain. Despite the team canceling its third and final exhibition game due to Thursday's terror attack in Barcelona, there were still plenty of highlights the college basketball world got to see from the Wildcats in two dominant wins.
Prior to the trip, the consensus was that this squad will be one of the best during the 2017-18 season. Arizona proved that to be true.
Junior guard Allonzo Trier showed why he will have preseason All-American honors. Sophomore guard Rawle Alkins was strong in his only appearance. Parker Jackson-Cartwright was solid, and Dusan Ristic was a force on the glass.
And that's just the returning starters from last season.
Newcomers Deandre Ayton, Brandon Randolph, Ira Lee, Alex Barcello, Emmanuel Akot, and Chase Jeter all showed signs of brilliance. Transfer Dylan Smith can fill it up, and the returning supporting cast brings loads of depth.
There are no holes in the roster, and these two games were just a small glimpse for what's to come.
