Arizona Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:01:21 PDT

The most topsy-turvy Arizona basketball season in recent memory ended with a thud.

The Wildcats, who lost seven of their final 10 games before the NCAA tournament, were ousted on Day 1, losing 75-65 to West Virginia at Washington D.C.

Afterward, no one was sure who will be coming or going before next season.

Interim coach Kevin O'Neill, pegged several months ago as Lute Olson's eventual permanent successor, is gone.

"There's been an air of uncertainty about me for the last 25 years," O'Neill said.

But O'Neill's loss seems minor as stacked against other defections.

Freshman guard Jerryd Bayless, projected as an NBA lottery pick, opted for the pro game.

Chase Budinger hasn't decided whether he'll turn pro or return for his junior year at Arizona. But he keeps hearing that he might be selected in the top 20 of the NBA draft. Asked if that would be good enough to turn pro, Budinger replied, "In my mind, I think that's good enough, yes." Budinger spoke after a Thursday morning workout in front of Suns coaches and staff at US Airways Center.
