On a weekend where so many ranked teams have lost, the soon-to-be No. 1 squad in America made sure not to avoid that trend.
Second-ranked Arizona shook off a slow start offensively before flipping a switch late in the first half and then running back Colgate 82-55 on Saturday afternoon at McKale Center.
It was the 25th consecutive nonconference home win for the Wildcats (7-0) and, combined with Purdue’s loss at Northwestern on Friday night, should catapult them to the top of the next Associated Press poll. Arizona was last No. 1 in the country in 2014 when it took a 21-0 record into Berkeley.
