Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd made it clear Wednesday that his focus is squarely on the Wildcats as they prepare for Thursday’s Sweet 16 game against Arkansas.
Lloyd’s comments came amid ongoing discussion about whether he could be a candidate for the coaching vacancy at North Carolina. Without shifting attention away from the immediate task, Lloyd insisted that all of his energy remains with Arizona as the program continues its NCAA tournament run.
Arizona’s attention on the next game
The Wildcats are set to face Arkansas with a spot in the Elite Eight on the line, and Lloyd emphasized that his priority is the team in front of him and the work required to advance in March.
With the tournament entering its second weekend, Arizona’s preparation now centers on a single-elimination matchup where execution and focus are paramount. Lloyd reiterated that his attention is on his players and the program as they move deeper into the postseason.
