Arizona basketball defeated Arizona State basketball last night in what was a nice win at home vs a rival but Arizona basketball did not play up to the standard they hold themselves to against a short handed Arizona State team led by Alston Mason and Joson Sanon. Caleb Love had a great game, as he always does against a rival. KJ Lewis snapped his cold offensive streak and showed the haters he is indeed capable on that end when utilized correctly.

The main takeaways for Arizona fans were the lack of defense from this team but on the other hand the amazing play from Arizona’s front court. Henri Veesaar and Tobe Awaka have been the two most improved players on Arizona’s roster this season and showed that again last night. Does Arizona basketball still have the requisite tools to make a deep March Madness tournament run? Or do the Wildcats only have a game or two in the tank?
