CORVALLIS, Ore. – Historically speaking, an Arizona loss at Oregon State’s Gill Coliseum is never really that much of a surprise.
Even the defending national champion Wildcats barely escaped the old fieldhouse by a point back in 1997-98 and Sean Miller’s Wildcats lost three times in eight previous visits, winning last season only on a buzzer-beating rebound basket from Devonaire Doutrive.
But this was something else. The Wildcats were nearly run out of the gym in the second half Sunday, losing 82-65 to an Oregon State team that was coming off a home loss to ASU on Thursday.
