Editor's note: Between now and Aug. 27, Star columnist Greg Hansen will count down the top 10 of just about everything related to Tucson sports. 

Today's list: The top 10 blowout victories in UA basketball history. 

Of recent vintage, Arizona pole-axed Washington State 60-25 a day after New Year’s, 2014. You could have almost predicted it.

The Wildcats were 14-0 and ranked No. 1. The Cougars were dreadful, en route to going 3-15 in the Pac-12 and losing 66-47 at ASU, 80-48 at Stanford and 72-49 at Washington. It would be too easy to dump on the ’14 Cougars, whose 25 points set a new standard of bungling at McKale Center; no other team has scored fewer than 37.

Ken Bone’s final Wazzu team doesn’t even make our list.
