Why UConn v Arizona Feels Like March in November


Listen Later

Jake Faigus of @Bleav Arizona joins us to break down this massive Top-5 showdown from the Wildcats’ perspective — and why this might be a must-watch Final Four preview in mid-November.


Is No. 3 UConn vs No. 4 Arizona really a March matchup disguised as a non-conference game? We go inside Gampel Pavilion and break down every angle — Arizona’s elite freshmen, Koa Peat and Braden Burries, UConn’s 3 pt ability, Karaban causing mismatches, who guards SOLO? IS Silas Demary Jr the new closer? And the coaching chess match between Dan Hurley and Tommy Lloyd.


We dive into KenPom numbers, X-factors, lineup advantages, and what this heavyweight battle actually reveals about both teams’ March ceilings. Who wins and why.
