While Washington State coach Ernie Kent started big man Conor Clifford in a possible attempt to re-create his 19-point effort against Arizona last month, the game-day credentials issued to the Arizona contingent also mistakenly featured Clifford instead of Ike Iroegbu.

Fortunately for the Wildcats, none of that was any sort of sign.

Clifford picked up two fouls in the first half and finished without a point or rebound in 13 minutes played.Β
