1. Arizona was twice sent to Long Beach, California, for first-round games in Lute Olson’s early days. Both were losses (to Auburn in 1986 and Alabama in 1990) at the dingy Long Beach Arena. What is it people say about Oakland? “There’s no ‘there’ there?” That was Long Beach. No one seemed to care, not even standout UA forward Brian Williams, who went scoreless against Bama in the 1990 second-round loss.
