Almost a month ago when Arizona met Oregon State in Corvallis, it looked more like a showcase game for the Wildcats, who steamrolled Wayne Tinkle’s crew in a 98-64 victory.
On Thursday, the Beavers will try to enact their revenge, as Sean Miller tries to get his squad off a two-game losing skid, which has put them on the outside looking in for the NCAA Tournament.
The pressure is beginning to ramp up in the desert, as Miller’s stay is beginning to wear on fans a bit. The program went through a wild interaction with the NCAA during their infractions scandal and as the Pac-12 begins to re-shift their balance of power, the Wildcats aren’t exactly standing at the top.
