Arizona was still without the ZonaZoo on Thursday β€” and will be again on Saturday against Colorado β€” but that didn’t stop the sellout crowd from having its most raucous evening of the season.

The loudest point came in the first half after the Wildcats turned a 15-10 deficit into an 18-15 lead.

School won’t begin until Jan. 11, meaning the ZonaZoo will make its timely return against Arizona State on Thursday.Β
