"Nate Silver's model right now has Arizona at:
* 89% chance of making the Sweet 16
* 72% change of making the Elite 8
* 53% chance of making the Final Four.
If something has a 72% chance of happening (like being -7 against Clemson...) and it doesn't happen, that's a disappointment.
If something has a 52% chance of happening (like flipping a coin) and it doesn't happen, that's just how it goes.
It's Elite 8 or Bust for Arizona. I will not consider this season a failure if they lose in the Elite 8 to a good team.
But if Arizona loses before then, it's going to be a tough pill to swallow."
Hey, we made the Final 64 at least.
