(Editor’s note: Reader/commenter Cats ‘n’ Dawgs chimes in with his thoughts on Arizona’s 77-70 win over Washington.)
Well, that was certainly different. The Arizona Wildcats momentarily righted their listing ship against the same opponent that embarrassed them on their home court (on senior day, no less) just five days earlier.
There are caveats aplenty here, as obviously a team with high expectations shouldn’t be playing in a conference tournament opening round in the first place, nor should they be celebrating a win over the last place team in the conference. However, as many have noted, with two lottery picks in their lineup and a recent late season rejuvenation, these Huskies weren’t your typical last-place team.
