The UA-ASU games at McKale Center always favor Arizona crowd-wise. (No way! Thanks Captain Obvious!)

It’s usually more of an even split when the two teams face off at Wells Fargo Arena, and Saturday was no different.

By our (very unofficial) calculations, the crowd at tipoff was at about 50 percent ASU fans, 40 percent Arizona fans and 10 percent empty.
