Derrick Williams knows what it’s like to excel in the Sweet 16 at Anaheim. Remember?
Kings win .. Zona wins. Great day #ForeverPurpIe #BearDown

A lucrative postseason for Sean Miller, who couldn’t care less about the financial gains. All he wants is the hardware.
Arizona advancing to the NCAA men's round of 16 gives coach Sean Miller an additional $50K in bonus money. He's up to $215,000.

And Mark Few has been around for 15 years.
Mark Few said he told Sean Miller after the game 'that's the best team we've played that I can remember.' #ArizonaWildcats

Super Bowl veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers was in attendance and he came away impressed.
Saw two NCAA games tonight in person. Wow, Arizona is an impressive squad. They could run the table IMO.

More notable praise from well-known sources.
@RondaeHJ23 my man! Congrats on a terrific game
— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) March 24, 2014
To the point but symbolic from an Arizona player who took part in the classic double-overtime game against Gonzaga 11 years ago.
Bear down
— Andre Iguodala (@andre) March 24, 2014
Another former player who knows what it’s like to experience the Sweet 16.
Proud alumni!!! #BearDown #UofA #Winning

Solidarity among the coaching ranks at Arizona.
Congrats Coach Miller and the Arizona Wildcats! Sweet sixteen is the next stop in the process! Proud to be a Wildcat!
— Mike Candrea (@CoachCandreaUA) March 24, 2014
Just like Rich Rod likes it on the football field.
Playing fast and taking care of the ball ! @APlayersProgram looking great!! #dominating
— Rich Rodriguez (@CoachRodAZ) March 24, 2014
One of Arizona’s eight blocked shots against Gonzaga. The Wildcats have 20 in two NCAA tournament games. They average only 4.6 a game this season. Turning up the heat at the right time.
