The Arizona Wildcats are not the favorite to win the 2015 NCAA Tournament. That honor, of course, belongs to unbeaten and seemingly invincible Kentucky.
However, Sean Miller’s team, which went 31-4 during the season and won both the Pac-12 regular season championship as well as the Pac-12 Tournament championship, is a popular pick among quite a few experts.
