The University of Arizona men’s basketball team is expected to win the Pac-12.

This does not come as a surprise to anyone, with the Wildcats coming off of a regular season conference title in 2013-14 and welcoming one of the most highly-touted recruiting classes in the country.

But whether the Wildcats have been preparing for the incredible expectations or not, the team still needs to perform when the season starts, and that won’t be easy with the loss of stars Nick Johnson and Aaron Gordon. At Pac-12 Media Day on Thursday, Arizona coach Sean Miller emphasized the need for team chemistry to make up for the losses and repeat their winning ways in the conference:
