Foggy second-half performance lifts Wildcats to Pac-10 win...

In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: Arizona Wildcats' guard Kyle Fogg has the UCLA Bruins' number.

Back in January he slashed his way around and through the host Bruins, scoring 25 points to lead the Wildcats to an early season Pac-10 win. Last night at McKale, he did it again, only this time, the likable guard did his damage from long range. Fogg netted a career-high 26 points -- including seven 3-pointers to lead the Wildcats back from a 10-point halftime deficit and turned the game into a hard-fought 78-73 win for Arizona.

Fogg ignited a 49-point outburst by the Wildcats in the final 20 minutes and he had plenty of help from two more guards -- Nic Wise with 12 points and MoMo Jones with 16. It looked like two different Arizona teams on the court at McKale Center last night. In the first half, the Wildcats shot poorly and seemed completely frustrated trying to deal with the Bruins' defense. They scored just 29 points. But the Fogg lifted midway through the second half and the Wildcats roared back from a 14-point deficit and ran off the court, waving to the screaming fans, after pulling out their five-point win.

Don't look now, but the Wildcats are not in the Pac-10 cellar, nor are they sitting somewhere between fifth and ninth. Instead, they are in fourth place and will close out their regular season Saturday morning at home against Kevin O'Neill and the USC Trojans. A win Saturday could give the Arizona Wildcats (15-14 overall, 9-8 conference) a third seed for the Pac-10 Tournament. I for one, would just as soon see the Fogg hang around at McKale for the weekend.

Go Wildcats!
