Arizona vs. ASU: Wildcats open Pac-12 play against rival Sun Devils

The last time the Arizona Wildcats beat the Arizona State Sun Devils in Tempe, Mark Lyons, Solomon Hill, and Nick Johnson combined for 56 points and a dominant second half effort led to a comfortable 71-54 'Cats win.

But since then, Arizona has dropped two straight to its in-state rival in Tempe, and both were gruesome three-point losses. Wells Fargo Arena has not been friendly to the Wildcats lately, to say the least, but Arizona also hasn't lost its Pac-12 opener since the 2009-2010 season, so something will have to give here.
