What Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said about Final Four loss to Michigan

Arizona had looked like it might have been the best team in college basketball for most of the year. Even after Michigan basketball was clowning teams in November and December, the Wildcats had done the same, warranting a No. 1 ranking for much of the year, trading with Duke.

But then the two heavyweights faced off, and the maize and blue dominated the Big 12 school in the Final Four, 91-73 -- in a game that wasn't even that close. After the game, Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd and Wildcats players Koa Peat, Jaden Bradley, and Brayden Burries met with the media. Here is what they had to say about Michigan basketball in the postgame press conference.

Opening statement LLOYD: First off, I want to thank the players on our team and the staff. They were amazing this year, it was an awesome journey and as much fun as I've ever had coaching basketball. Secondly, I want to give credit to Michigan.

They were outstanding tonight and really had us on our heels all night. We could never get into a rhythm, so they get a ton of credit for that. No one's been able to do that to us all year, so it was an impressive performance by them.
