LAS VEGAS—Arizona will get another change at revenge, something it has been so good at the past two seasons.
The second-seeded Wildcats (25-6) will face No. 10 Stanford (14-18) in Thursday’s Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinals at T-Mobile Arena after the Cardinal upset No. 7 Utah 73-62 in the first round Wednesday night.
Arizona and Stanford only played once in the regular season, with the Wildcats falling 88-79 in Palo Alto on Feb. 11. The Cardinal a season-best 61.1 percent and made 10 of 18 3-pointers, pulling away in the second half after trailing by nine before halftime.
“They have talented players and they have a plan, and when you have talented players and a plan that’s executed, I mean, you can have some tough nights and we did,” UA coach Tommy Lloyd said Tuesday, referring to the Wildcats’ losses to both Stanford and Utah.
