“I know this: We could get our butts kicked on Saturday and still have a great season. That's how seasons go," Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said. "We're hoping to play a good 40 minutes on Saturday and anything beyond that, I mean, we really haven't thought too far ahead.”
Of modern rivalries for the Arizona men's basketball program, UCLA is the most anticipated, Duke is the most hated, and Wisconsin — the Wildcats' opponent Saturday at McKale Center — is the most nausea-inducing.
No. 1 Arizona went on a 20-2 run midway through the first half to turn what was a tight matchup early into a 48-31 halftime lead, and eventual 98-73 win over No. 23 Wisconsin in a Top 25 showdown at McKale Center Saturday.
