Not all blowouts are created equal. Just look at the Arizona Wildcats’ first three games of the 2019-20 season to see that.
The 91-52 dominance of NAU to start the season served as a solid debut for an almost all-new team. That was followed by an impressive 90-69 win over a talented Illinois team that figures to be in contention for an NCAA tournament bid.
And then came Thursday night’s 87-39 victory over San Jose State, a game the Wildcats basically controlled from wire to wire yet looked mostly uninterested in doing so along the way.
