With a rich basketball history and one of the most impressive records in the last 30 years, the University of Arizona Men's Basketball teams is one of the elite programs in the NCAA. The University of Arizona has produced an impressive collection NBA talent, including five-time NBA champion Steve Kerr, three-time All-Star Gilbert Arenas, former Rookie of the Year Damon Stoudamire, two-time All-Star and NBA champion Sean Elliott, and other notable names such as Andre Iguodala, Richard Jefferson, Jason Terry, Derrick Williams, Jordan Hill, Luke Walton, and Channing Frye.  A Rich History After the legendary coach Lute Olsen took over in Tuscon in 1983, the University of Arizona's Men's basketball program went on a staggering 23-year streak of qualifying for the NCAA tournament, a feat bettered only by the University of North Carolina. Including the school's first PAC-10 championship and the 1997 National Championship, the Lute Olson era established the University of Arizona as one of the most important basketball programs in the country. In 1997, the Wildcats were the only team in the NCAA Tournament's history to take down three one-seeds on their way to a National Championship. Coached by Olsen, that special team was led by Miles Simon, Mike Bibby, and the aforementioned Terry (all three of whom would eventually be selected in the first round of the NBA draft). Save on Arizona Wildcats Men's Basketball Tickets After Lute Olsen retired in 2007, the University of Arizona's Men's Basketball program fell back to the back temporarily, finishing seventh and fifth in their own conference without making any real noise in the NCAA Tournament. But since Sean Miller was hired before the 2009-10 campaign was hired, things are very much back on track with Miller being named the 2011 Pac-10 coach of the year and the Wildcats amassing a 187-79 record. As Sean Miller continues to stockpile some of the best recruiting classes in the nation, the spotlight is back on Tuscon as the University of Arizona has returned to a perennial powerhouse.
