Arizona men’s basketball destroys Wyoming in battle of unbeatens

A battle of unbeatens resulted in a beatdown, one that’s becoming very familiar for Arizona’s opponents this season.

No. 11 Arizona overwhelmed Wyoming from the opening tip, blitzing its way to a 94-65 victory on Wednesday night.

A lively McKale Center crowd, which included a sizable faction of the New York Giants who used the UA’s football practice facility earlier in the day, saw the Wildcats (8-0) built a 10-point lead before the first TV timeout and never let up in sending the Cowboys (8-1) to their first defeat of the year.

Bennedict Mathurin had 24 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, while Kerr Kriisa and Christian Koloko had 17 apiece, with Kerr tying his career high and draining a career-best five 3-pointers to go with five assists.
