Episode Details

Can the Arizona Wildcats basketball team reach number one in the country by January? After dismantling defending national champion Florida, the path is wide open. Leif Thulin breaks down how freshman sensation Koa Pete's dominant 11-of-18 performance and Jaden Bradley's clutch takeover from 67-67 have elevated Arizona's ceiling beyond preseason expectations. The upcoming gauntlet against UCLA, UConn, Auburn, and Alabama suddenly looks winnable, with Arizona now favored in matchups where they were previously four-point underdogs.

Thulin analyzes Pete's unstoppable short-roll game that draws comparisons to Duke's Cooper Flagg, Bradley's improved pace control that makes him a top-10 guard, and why five-star Braden Burries—a complete non-factor against Florida—represents untapped potential that will make Tommy Lloyd's squad even more dangerous. The statistical case is compelling: Arizona already ranks top-10 in offensive efficiency and top-20 defensively, with Ken Pomeroy projecting 23-plus wins.

Listen to discover why this might be Tommy Lloyd's best championship opportunity yet.
