Arizona has reached its first Final Four in 25 years after defeating Purdue 79-64 in the NCAA Tournament's West Region final. The top-seeded Wildcats, led by freshman Koa Peat, scored 20 points and was named the region's Most Outstanding Player. After years of disappointment in March, coach Tommy Lloyd has turned Arizona into a championship contender thanks to a talented freshman class led by Peat and veterans like Big 12 Player of the Year Jaden Bradley. The win marks the first time the team has reached the Final Four since 2001 and marks a 13-game winning streak for the Wildcats. They will face the winner of the game between Michigan and Tennessee.
