Can the Arizona Wildcats make it 26 straight NCAA appearances under the guidance of new head coach Sean Miller and a top-10 recruiting class? The Pac-10 seems to be down this year and with Nic Wise running the show as one of the top guards in the conference I think they have an excellent chance of dancing come March.

it is always a possiblity. every team starts off 0-0 so everyone has a chance to be there. it is just who wants it more. Arizona can make it 26 straight but exactly how many titles have they got out of those 26 straight appearances? It isn't just about getting into the dance, if you get there great but everyone's goal is to play on that final Monday night in April, so yea Arizona has a good chance at making it 26 straight appearances but no they will not be playing on that Monday night in April.

hey i'll take the 1 championship, thats more than i can say for about 100 other schools.

yea you right. Also Arizona also needs three more straight years to break the record for most consecutive NCAA Tournament Appearances. North Carolina holds the record at 27 straight from 1975-2001. But good luck to your Wildcats.

I really don't see them not doing it, especially since we are in a struggling PAC-10

Miller doesn't think so, so why would anyone else?

Miller never said he didn't think so, he said that it was not a priority for his team b/c it brings added pressure that his young team doesn't need. At no point did Sean Miller ever say " We can't make the tournament this year."

Nope the USC Trojans win the Pac-10 and will make the NCAA over Arizona.
