Well...that was fun.
In an absolute shootout, the 12th-ranked Arizona Wildcats outlasted Boise State, 88-76, on Thursday night.
However, nothing came easy. Well, except for a lot of buckets. But for every easy, silky smooth Arizona basket, Boise State had a response and then some. The first half was wild, both teams going back and forth. At one point, late in the half, Arizona's Gabe York and Boise State forward, Nick Duncan, traded baskets like heavyweights trading punches. York knocked down three three-pointers in the first half and led the 'Cats at the break with 15 points.
