Tras una deplorable temporada, Sean Miller vuelve a coger la sartén por el mango y conforma un bloque de jugadores jóvenes con el cual volver a competir en la PAC-12 de tú a tú. UCLA, Oregon o Washington parece que pueden dar bastante guerra, pero los Wildcats cuentan con algunos de los prospects más importantes de esta clase de 2019, comandados por Josh Green y el italo-americano Nico Mannion. La evolución de Brandon Williams, actualmente lesionado, Chase Jeter o Ira Lee junto con la llegada de un par de grad transfers debería de ser más que suficiente para que estos Wildcats no vuelvan a faltar a su cita en el NCAA Tournament. DUKE BLUE DEVILS No hay tiempo que perder en Durham. Ya no están Zion, Barrett ni Reddish, pero la sombra de Coach K en el recruiting es muy alargada, y no ha tardado en encontrarles rápidos sustitutos a los tres en las figuras de Vernon Carey Jr., Matthew Hurt y Wendell Moore, con Cassius Stanley en la retaguardia.
