Ninth Season First Season Third Season 2 ARIZONA BASKETBALL BROADCAST NOTES LOOKING BACK AT 2016-17 PARKER JACKSON-CARTWRIGHT DISTRIBUTION The Arizona Wildcats are coming off a 2016-17 season that saw the team post a record of Parker Jackson-Cartwright led the Pac-12 conference in assist-to-turnover ratio in all games in 32-5 while claiming a share of the regular season Pac-12 championship and win the 2017 2016-17 with a mark of 3.09, which ranked 13th among all NCAA players. His season ratio was Pac-12 Tournament. The 30-win season was just the seventh in program history and the fueled by his 23 assists and four turnovers (5.75 assist-to-turnover) in his six games prior to the fourth under head coach Sean Miller. The Cats’ 16 wins in conference play and 8-1 mark on NCAA Tournament. Jackson-Cartwright matched his career high in assists with 11 in UA’s win over the road in the Pac-12 were both tied for the second-best marks in UA history. Northern Colorado, which paired with his 15 points, gave the junior the first double-double of his career. ANOTHER CHAPTER OF ARIZONA IN THE NBA DRAFT The
