The Arizona Wildcats are seeking their first trip to the Elite Eight since 2015 and their first Final Four appearance since 2001.
Will this finally be the year Arizona moves past the Sweet 16?
Here is a look at what some of the experts around college basketball are saying when it comes to how far No. 4 Arizona will advance.
Arizona Wildcats NCAA Tournament predictions
ESPN’s Jeff Borzello
Prediction: Sweet 16 loss
Borzello has the Wildcats bouncing Akron (13 seed) and Oregon (5) before losing to Duke (1) in the Sweet 16.
A potential Caleb Love vs. Duke matchup in the Sweet 16 is interesting, but the Blue Devils have too much.
Tournament winner: Florida
Fox Sports’ John Fanta
Prediction: First round loss
Fanta has Akron (13) upsetting Arizona in the first round of the tournament.
Tournament winner: Florida
Fox Sports’ Michael Cohen
Prediction: Sweet 16 loss
Cohen has Arizona taking down Akron (13) and Oregon (5) before falling to his eventual champion, Duke (1), in the Sweet 16.
Tournament winner: Duke
The Athletic’s CJ Moore
Prediction: Sweet 16 loss
Moore has the Wildcats getting by Akron (13) and Oregon (5) before losing to Duke (1) in the Sweet 16.
If you want to pick Duke to get upset, the Sweet 16 might be a decent spot. Duke beat Arizona by 14 in Tucson earlier this season, but the Wildcats have improved as much as anyone since November, mostly because of the emergence of Henri Veesaar. The Wildcats’ bigs are athletic enough to at least match up with Cooper Flagg, but it would take Caleb Love’s going nuclear to pull off the upset. I’m tempted but ultimately too much of a believer in this Duke team.
Tournament winner: Florida
NBC Sports’ Nicole Auerbach
Prediction: Second round loss
Auerbach has the Wildcats running through Akron (13) before taking a loss against Oregon (5).
Tournament winner: Duke
The Sporting News’ Bill Bender
Prediction: Sweet 16 loss
Bender has Arizona knocking off Akron (13) and Liberty (12) before falling to Duke (1).
Baylor and Arizona are good teams, but they aren’t top-10 teams. Duke can win those games in the East Region.
Tournament winner: Duke
