The Wildcast, Episode 51: Who's to blame for the Wildcats' lack of effort on the court?
Dominic Baciocco and Justin Spears are back for another Wildcast podcast dedicated exclusively to basketball, this time taking a dive into Sean Miller's recent tirade. Who's to blame for Arizona's lack of effort? We'll search for any glimmer of leadership, and hear from Bruce Pascoe in Las Vegas on Arizona's comeback, overtime win over UNLV. (Pssst ... Bruce, when is Rawle Alkins coming back?) Plus, get ready for Arizona's next test in No. 9 Texas A&M — we'll tell you what to expect and toss a few predictions out there for good measure.
