Passing the Mouse 

T.J. McConnell continues to climb into the UA record books.

His four assists Thursday moved McConnell to 222 total this season, third-most all-time at Arizona. He passed UA assistant Damon Stouadmire, who had 220 in 1994-95.

“I’m proud of him,” said Brandon Ashley. “That’s something you expect of him. He’s extremely talented and extremely unselfish.”
