Cats could finish first half of Pac-12 play under .500
Statistic of the week part II: Arizona’s losses at UCLA and USC put into play the possibility of the Wildcats finishing the first half of Pac-12 play under .500. How rare would that be? After his first season at Arizona, Lute Olson never finished the first half of the Pac-10 below .500. Lute’s worst record through nine conference games was 5-4, and that was in his final season, 2006-07. In the two years before Olson was hired, Arizona went 0-9 and 1-8 in the first half of the conference season.
