A lot had gone right for Arizona during its 7-game win streak, whether it be offensive execution, defensive intensity or not letting foul trouble be an issue.
It’s hard to win when all of those things stop working all at once.
The fourth-ranked Wildcats fell 88-79 at Stanford on Saturday night, their first loss overall since Jan. 14 and their first at Maples Pavilion since 2009.
Arizona (22-4, 11-4 Pac-12) allowed Stanford to shoot 61.1 percent from the field, the highest shooting percentage for a UA opponent since Oregon shot 65.2 percent in a beatdown in a 27-point beatdown in 2017.
