Bryson Tiller snubbing Big 12 rival gives Kansas fans real relief

The Bryson Tiller saga seemd to get more and more interesting, espcially after the former Kansas forward snubbed a Big 12 basketball rival. Tiller has narrowed his list down to four schools after entering the portal and leaving Kansas: Arizona, Missouri, Miami, and Michigan.

Tiller ended up making visits to Missouri and Miami already, and then ended up cancelling his visit to Arizona the day before he was set to be in Tuscon, as reported by Fox Sports' Aaron Torres. Even though Tiller was showing interest in the recent National Champions, Michigan, no visit has been scheduled.

It seems like this is a two-horse race now for Tiller, and it is between Miami and Missouri. Either way, Kansas fans won't have to worry about facing Tiller multiple times in a season.

Kansas fans will love Bryson Tiller's cancelled visit with Arizona

Of the four teams that Bryson Tiller had narrowed down to, Missouri and Arizona were the two that Kansas fans probably wanted to see him go to the least. When it comes to Missouri, the Tigers and Jayhawks have a fierce rivalry and never want to see the other succeed. Tiller would be a good addition to Missouri and, unfortunately, make the Tigers a better team.

However, it probably will be a little worse if Tiller were to choose Arizona, as the Wildcats have recently become a rival in basketball, changing the throne that Kansas has built over the years in the Big 12. The Wildcats don't need firepower anymore on their roster, and Tiller would be a great addition to their team.

Tiller going to Arizona would also mean Kansas would face the former big man at least once, if not twice at least for next season, and that itself can be a nightmare.

It does feel like the cancelled visit though means Tiller is between Missouri and Miami, which means Kansas fans can rejoice in knowing Arizona is most likely off the table for Tiller.
