Arizona Wildcats guard Rawle Alkins (1) implores the Wildcat crowd to rise late during the second half.

Rivalry games are always fun — especially when a team pulls a petty stunt. 

The Wildcats topped third-ranked Arizona State Saturday night after first mocking the Sun Devils' self-appointed nickname of "Guard U."  ASU has one of the best backcourts in college basketball led by seniors Shannon Evans II, Tra Holder and Kodi Justice, along with a dynamite freshman in Remy Martin. 

You may have missed it. Take a look:

Notice anything? Jerryd Bayless, T.J. McConnell, Jason Terry, Miles Simon, Damon Stoudamire, Steve Kerr and Mike Bibby rattled off Arizona's accomplishments one by one. All of them are guards. 

There wasn't a single forward or center to be found — not Channing Frye, Aaron Gordon or Lauri Markkanen.

That's trolling at its best. 

For those who don't regularly attend games, Arizona's introduction video traditionally shows past players counting down the program's accolades. Among them: 29 All-Americans, 19 Sweet 16s, 11 Elite Eights, four Final Fours and — of course — one national championship.
