California head coach Cuonzo Martin gets tangled in his own coat while trying to guide the Bears against Arizona in the second half of their Pac-12 game at McKale Center, Thursday, March 3, 2016, Tucson, Ariz. Kelly Presnell / Arizona Daily Star

Cal brings a four-game winning streak into Arizona this week, but Bears coach Cuonzo Martin clearly hasn’t forgotten about that 67-62 loss the Wildcats handed his team back on Dec. 30 at Haas Pavilion.

Martin was asked on the Pac-12 call which Wildcat player he was most concerned about heading into a rematch Saturday.

“Not to be sarcastic, but everybody who steps on the floor,” Martin said. “I mean, you look at that team from 1-5 with (Lauri) Markkanen, and Rawle (Alkins) did a great job of rebounding against us. He had five offensive rebounds from the wing and that’s tough to go against him. Kobi (Simmons) played a great game (14 points). Parker was just getting back (from an ankle sprain) and played a great floor game. It’s a team. If you focus on one guy, you're in trouble."
