UofA's Final Four appearance bridged the partisan divide between Democrats and Republicans and, perhaps, Wildcats and Sun Devils fans at the Arizona Capitol.
The House read a proclamation honoring the team, lawmakers took turns getting autographs and pics with the players, head coach Tommy Lloyd spoke to the chamber, and several players tried out the speaker's gavel.
What they're saying: "This is just the beginning. And we look forward to recreating this and doing this again," Lloyd said after being introduced on the House floor.
🤝 Jeremy's thought bubble: I heard cheering from both sides of the aisle, and saw folks I know to be big ASU fans taking photos of the Cats.
