Much like a wounded animal that will only continue to suffer the longer it lives, the Arizona Wildcats needed to be put out of their misery. The USC Trojans served as their angel of mercy on Wednesday, afternoon, beating Arizona 78-65 at the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas.
Arizona’s 15th loss, its most since Sean Miller’s first season back in 2009-10, was a lot like most of the other 14 in that it featured a few good things but far more bad ones. In the interest of balance, we’ve picked out three of each from the final outing of the Wildcats’ miserable season.
