ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥

By Justin Spears / ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥

For the first time since the ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Wildcats fell to Buffalo in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament, Sean Miller addressed the media and held a press a conference on Thursday.

Miller mostly addressed how the following months will look leading up to the 2018-19 season. 

The Wildcats will return six players, but also lose six due to graduation and early NBA Draft entrees. Deandre Ayton, Allonzo Trier, Rawle Alkins, Keanu Pinder, Parker Jackson-Cartwright and Dusan Ristic are all of the players that will leave. Returning: Emmanuel Akot, Dylan Smith, Ira Lee, Brandon Randolph, Chase Jeter and Alex Barcello.

UA has one scholarship spot available with the six returning players among the five incoming recruits and transfers, and former walk-on Jake DesJardins was awarded a scholarship last week.

Miller spoke to the media for an hour, here's the best from Thursday's press conference.
