Scouting report: The Wildcats, who frequently have six players reach double figures, are difficult to defend. ... Salim Stoudamire, benched in the second half of a late-season game because Olson didn't like his attitude, hit 46 percent (58 for 126) of his three-point attempts in the regular season. He also hit 86.6 percent of his foul shots. Olson has directed the Wildcats to four Final Four appearances, including the '97 championship.
