When the Arizona Wildcats fell into an early 11-2 hole against Oregon State on Sunday, it felt reminiscent of the Cal loss last season.
If you remember, Arizona was coming off a huge upset of No. 4 Stanford and came out flat against the last-place Golden Bears two days later, falling 55-54 in McKale Center. It was a stunner that spoiled Arizona’s Senior Day. Evidently, it also served as a learning lesson.
The Wildcats were able to avoid a similar letdown Sunday, building off their big win over No. 10 Oregon by blowing out the Beavers, 67-51.
