We could start with Washington State star Robert Franks, but the bigger picture that developed at McKale Center this week went way beyond him.
In a week in which Arizona moved to fire a second assistant who worked under coach Sean Miller — and also downgraded guard Brandon Williams to indefinitely out with a knee injury — the Wildcats lost a second straight game at a home arena where they used to almost never lose.
Arizona’s 69-55 loss to WSU represented the first time they have lost five straight games overall since 1983-84, when Lute Olson spent his first season rebuilding the woeful Wildcats.
