Arizona men’s basketball rebounds from first loss, beats winless but pesky Cal

Related Topics: Arizona, Cedric Henderson Jr.

If there’s ever been a definition of a get-right game, it was supposed to be this one. The fourth-ranked team in the nation, fresh off its first loss of the season, at home against a winless team off to its worst start in school history.

Major blowout, right? Not exactly.

Arizona (7-1, 1-1 Pac-12) controlled throughout but spent most of the second half up only a few possessions before pulling away late to beat Cal 81-68 on Sunday afternoon at McKale Center.

Azuolas Tubelis had 25 points and 12 rebounds, while Oumar Ballo added 17 (on 7-of-10 shooting) along with nine rebounds and four blocks.
