Let’s get this out of the way early: Sean Miller used to coach at Xavier. He was a great coach and a great recruiter for the Musketeers. He and Coach Mack were and remain friends despite the way Miller left which, while it wasn’t as slimy and duplicitous as Thad Matta, wasn’t exactly all above board. Miller is a great coach, Mack is a great coach, and neither of them is going to waste much time thinking about the other much this week. That’s the ESPN depth of reporting for this game. Now, let’s get to the rest.
Arizona is very good this year.
