Five days removed from a momentum-sapping setback at Stanford, Arizona responded like it has every time after a loss in the Tommy Lloyd era, handily beating Utah 88-62 on Thursday night at McKale Center.
The 8th-ranked Wildcats (23-4, 12-4 Pac-12) improved to 6-0 in revenge games under Lloyd, getting payback for a 15-point loss in Salt Lake City in December, and have won their seven regular-season post-defeat games by an average of 16.1 points with each victory by at least 11.
