Through 16 games this season, Arizona boasts a record of 14-2, with a 3-2 mark in the Pac-12.
At this point in the schedule last season the Cats were 15-1 with a 5-0 conference record.
So yeah, last year was better, at least by a little bit.
Anyone who has watched the Cats this year knows they are different than last year’s team. This year’s squads scores more per game while allowing more. The way it goes about scoring baskets differs in that there are fewer high-flying dunks, and though the death runs have happened they seem less emphatic.
