A blowout win!

In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: Finally, a Wildcats' blowout. Finally, something to cheer about.

Arizona cruises in basketball opener as they roll over Idaho State today at McKale, 90-42. Thirteen Wildcats score and fifteen see action. The curtain opened and all the characters got to introduce themselves in front of a very happy hometown crowd. Derrick Williams led the way with 16 points. But the big story was not the offensive explosion, but it was the Wildcats' defense that shined, allowing Idaho State just 15 points in the first half and another 27 in the second half (most of those coming against the Wildcats' bench).

Williams played just 20 minutes, but it was long enough for him to have an ESPN highlight moment when he rammed home a backward dunk, after a high-arching pass from MoMo Jones. Can't wait til Thursday and a matchup at McKale with New Mexico State.

Go Wildcats!
