The Arizona Wildcats picked up their No. 2 NCAA Tournament seed in true Selection Sunday fashion.
Still wearing the Pac-12 Tournament championship hats and T-shirts they received Saturday after beating UCLA, the Wildcats sat in a courtyard full of fans at St. Philips Plaza, in front of a giant screen that beamed the CBS show telling them they would open Thursday against 15th-seeded Princeton in Sacramento, California.
Nobody may have been soaking up the moment more than UA forward Cedric Henderson Jr., who played a year of junior college ball and three at low-major Campbell before joining the Wildcats as a grad transfer this season. That apparently prodded the NCAA selection committee to put the Bruins in the West while the Wildcats were put in the South.
“You know this about me — I’m not living in that world,” Lloyd said. “I’m happy we beat them last night, but they won the regular season by four games. I think they got rewarded for that, which is rightfully so.” While the Wildcats beat the Bruins twice in three matchups this season, UCLA went 18-2 in conference play to win the Pac-12 regular season title easily over Arizona and USC, which tied for second at 14-6.
“I don’t really care,” he said. “I’m not from here. So I don’t care where we are. We just gotta win, and beat anybody we play.”
