• The win total marks the most ever by a first-year head coach in program history and has solidified a remarkable turnaround for a team that had not posted a winning season in several years. Miller wasn’t the only new face in Tempe.
• Much of the starting lineup has consisted of transfer-portal additions.
• While the record books highlight the win total, another major point of conversation has been how quickly the team has gelled.
