Love has had a solid college career. He was the second leading scorer on the UNC team that made a surprise run to the Final Four in 2022 and was the best player on an Arizona team that reached the Sweet 16 last year.

Arizona, a preseason Top 10 team, has been looking for a big win ever since a brutal stretch in late November, when the Wildcats lost four of five games, three of them to unranked teams. Since then, they’ve won 10 of their last 11.
