X FACTOR: Arizona Wildcats COUNT on Derek Dixon's Shooting to LIFT ARIZONA to TITLE CONTENTION AGAIN

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 13 May 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Arizona Wildcats face a new era at point guard as Derek Dixon and JJ Mandaquit step into the spotlight. Can this revamped backcourt power Arizona’s championship ambitions after the departure of program legend Jaden Bradley? Dixon's elite three-point shooting and versatility combine with Mandaquit's true facilitator instincts, but will their synergy and production reach the all-conference caliber needed to keep the Wildcats among college basketball’s elite?

Leif Thulin breaks down projected stats, lineup flexibility, and the ripple effects on stars like Caleb Holt and Mo Criovas. Key topics include the importance of guard play in March runs, how Tommy Lloyd’s offensive schemes might evolve, and what benchmarks Dixon and Mandaquit must hit for Arizona to be more than just a top-10 team. With conference rivals looming and roster questions still in play, the Wildcats’ path to the Final Four may hinge on the growth of its new point guard tandem.

Did Koa Peat’s Draft Stock DROP After POOR Shooting At NBA Combine

Damon Fairall, Kevin Thomas — Tue, 12 May 2026 23:57:47 GMT

The Arizona Wildcats had a generational front court this past season. Koa Peat was a huge reason as to why the unit gelled so well. Peat is a highly touted talent but do NBA scouts think highly enough of him to draft him in the top 15? Koa Peat was invited to the NBA Draft Lottery and recently performed at the NBA combine. How did he do? Was his poor shooting performance an indicator that he might not go as high? Or does his performance at the combine just confirm what we already knew?

PLUS! Adan Diggs has provided an update on his recruitment!
