1. In 1991, the Wildcats beat BYU in a round-of-32 game, 76-61. The Cougars featured 7-foot-6-inch center Shawn Bradley, who would go on to play 12 NBA seasons. Bradley has since been a counselor at a nearby high school academy before moving to St. George, Utah, where he ran for public office (and lost), and is the father of six kids. In that ’91 game, Bradley scored 10 points and had six rebounds. Arizona’s Brian Williams schooled Bradley with a 24-point, 11-rebound double-double.
