After three straight losses to three straight top-10 teams, the Arizona Wildcats needed to get back to their winning ways if they hoped to meet the goals they set for themselves before the season.
They accomplished that with a 74-67 victory over the Washington State Cougars on Friday night. Cate Reese had a career-high 26 points in what wasn’t the prettiest game, especially in the first half.
Without a strong third quarter, the Wildcats likely would have come away with another loss in Pullman.
“We didn’t play good basketball today,” Arizona head coach Adia Barnes told Arizona IMG Radio Network’s Derrick Palmer.
