New season is officially here

Sean Miller, with Rawle Alkins, says his players might not be overly affected by the scandal because they are “able to move on sometimes easier than adults.”

The Arizona Wildcats begin their highly-anticipated season Wednesday against Eastern New Mexico, and while everyone has been trying to squeeze as much information out of Sean Miller as possible amid the FBI investigation, the team is focused solely on basketball. 

Ever since the investigation hit the program, every media session has involved reporters chiming in about "distractions" from the FBI — and rightfully so. It's arguably the biggest story in collegiate sports history, and could have a major impact on this season.

Arizona just wants to go out and play ball.

Miller held a press conference Tuesday to preview Arizona's season:
