The Texas Southern Tigers are playing one of the most demanding non-conference seasons in the history of college basketball this year, not playing a single home game before they begin SWAC play.
When the TSU road show came to Tucson on Wednesday, the Arizona Wildcats slashed all of the tires of the convoy en route to an 85-63 victory.
Arizona’s first home game in nine days was never particularly close as the Cats got out to a 19-4 lead in the first six and a half minutes of action.
At halftime, both Kadeem Allen and Lauri Markkanen had already reached double digits in scoring, while Arizona led 45-26 when the two teams went back to their locker rooms.
