Former Wildcats blistering the nets in NBA...

Nine former University of Arizona basketball players scored points in the NBA last night. Jason Terry led the way as he netted 29 points as the Dallas Mavericks edged Memphis in overtime, 106-102.

If you total up all the scoring by the ex-Wildcats you'll come up with 121 points. Not bad for a day's work in the NBA. Richard Jefferson of the Spurs scored 19, Andre Iguodala poured in 14 for the 76ers, Will Bynum scored 13 for the Pistons, and Channing Frye (Suns) pumped in 12 points, as did Houston's Chase Budinger, who scored his dozen against San Antonio. Mike Bibby netted 12 points for the Atlanta Hawks, Jerryd Bayless scored six points for the Portland Trail Blazers, and Jordan Hill, Budinger's teammate at Houston, knocked down four points in his 19 minutes of work against the Spurs.

Great job by the former Wildcat greats. And that was without the Lakers' Luke Walton and the Wizards' Gilbert Arenas. Walton is out with an injury, and Arenas is still in the doghouse, serving his suspension from the NBA.

Put those 11 players together and you'd have a pretty good and very competitive NBA team.
