Second chance points the difference in UofA win...



In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: We all need to make the most out of our second chances in life.

The question is what do you do when you are presented with the opportunity? Hopefully, you seize the moment. Last night at McKale Center, the Arizona Wildcats did just that as they outscored the Stanford Cardinal in second-chance points 20-4 and went on to a 76-68 Pac-10 victory, their third win in a row and 11th win of the season.

Coach Sean Miller received another outstanding effort from the young Wildcats (5-3, 11-9), including another workmanlike performance from Derrick Williams, who scored 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds. The win sets up a showdown on Sunday afternoon at McKale with the first-place California Bears (6-2, 14-6). A win by Arizona on Sunday would give the Wildcats a share of first place in the conference. Williams dominated around the bucket once again, while Kyle Fogg (15 points) and Nic Wise (14 points) contributed to the Wildcats' attack, on a night when the shooting touch was just not there. It was Arizona's second-worst shooting performance of the season, but those second chance points put a dagger in Stanford's hopes of pulling out a road victory.

And now, it is da Bears! The Golden Bears. Go Wildcats!
