The Arizona Wildcats (20-6, 10-3) and USC Trojans (17-9, 8-5) both entered Saturday night’s game desperate for a win with each suffering two consecutive losses.
The Wildcats were the ones able to avoid a three-game losing streak, beating the Trojans up for an 81-67 win. Arizona now holds a two-game lead in the conference over both USC and UCLA.
Arizona did what they needed to do to get back on the winning track — used their length to disturb the Trojans, crashed the glass with authority and shot the ball very well.
With the Wildcats back in the W column ahead of Thursday night’s trip to Tempe to play their rival, let’s take a look at three up and three down from tonight’s win.
