Just a couple of weeks ago, we watched the Arizona men’s’ basketball team crash mere inches from the finish line. And, although it’s only a few games in, the Diamondbacks have started slowly, and could use a boost with a tough stretch coming on. However, the Phoenix Suns have been a beam of sunlight at Avondale Nissan, and justly deserve a bit of love from us. After all, if you think about it, the Phoenix Suns and Avondale Nissan aren’t that different.
We are through one week of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, and we’ve already seen our share of shockers. (Sorry, Witchita State. We had to.) An assortment of the so-called “blue-bloods” have already fallen on their faces, with the likes of Duke, Kansas and Syracuse–all ranked #2 or higher at some point this season–watching from the miserable confines of their respective dorm rooms. Meanwhile, some fresh faces have shown some grit as well, with North Dakota State, Mercer and Dayton all turning heads during the first weekend. Of course, in these parts, all of these issues pale in comparison to what we’re really wondering at Avondale Nissan in the Phoenix area: Is this the year for the Arizona Wildcats?
