The Arizona Wildcats have rediscovered the top of the Pac-12 standings after a win over the USC Trojans on Sunday night. The Wildcats led the entire way en route to an 86-78 victory, despite a late defensive collapse. A late burst gave them the larger margin of victory.
The Wildcats move to 9-4 in conference play, tied with the Oregon Ducks for first place.
USC did get within two in the second half thanks to some lackadaisical play on Arizona's part after halftime. The Cats led by 16 at half, but USC started knocking down threes and out-hustling Arizona throughout the second half to make it a close game.
