Thursday’s announced crowd of 3,448 for Arizona’s basketball game at Washington State might’ve been the smallest crowd ever to watch a UA game in the Pac-10/12 years. The actual attendance was probably closer to 2,000. The smallest listed crowd in UA league history was 2,552 for a February 1983 game at Stanford. That Arizona team underΒ Ben Lindsey,Β which would finish 4-24, lost 86-69 and Lindsey got two technical fouls in 20 seconds, his eighth and ninth technicals of the season by Feb. 7. By comparison,Β Sean MillerΒ has two technical fouls in the last 2Β½ seasons.Β
