Imagine if Sean Miller can do with Texas what he was never able to do with AZ and gets them to the final four . . . (by potentially beating AZ)

"I had a feeling, so I put Cam Heide in, and I'm just glad he had the confidence to take that shot. So, I'll take credit for putting him (Heide) in the game."
