The last few seconds ticked off the clock Thursday night, and the Arizona Wildcats wrote themselves into the record books. Twice.
The Wildcats’ 77-42 win over Tennessee State improved Arizona to 10-0 this season, the best start in program history. Their 16-game winning streak, dating back to last year’s WNIT championship run, is the longest ever by an Arizona women’s basketball team.
