Arizona forward Brandon Ashley (21) takes a shot while California forward Dwight Tarwater (1) defends in the first half of their Pac-12 game at McKale Center, Thursday, March 5, 2015, Tucson, Ariz. Kelly Presnell / Arizona Daily Star  

Who knew? 

Arizona has a “Get to Know a Wildcat” feature on the big center-court screen at most home games. More often than not, we learn something funny about the featured player.

This game’s victim? Brandon Ashley.

Our favorite tidbits:

1. That he wanted to be a firefighter growing up.

2. That he has the song “Barbie Girl” on his iPod.

Of course, most people don’t own iPods anymore. So, you should probably update that category, McKale graphics guy.
