Well-rested Wildcats ready for Pac-10 play

In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: The trip to the state of Oregon awaits.

The Arizona Wildcats should be well rested. Case in point: The Wildcats thump visiting Robert Morris last night at McKale 82-56 and the most minutes logged by an Arizona starter was 24 minutes. Coach Sean Miller sent in 14 players. The only player not inserted -- injured backup center Alex Jacobson. The Arizona bench players log in 89 minutes collectively against the Colonials and score 28 points. The Wildcats enter Pac-10 play next Thursday at Oregon in great shape. How many times has the Wildcats entered Pac-10 play a little short on personnel? Plenty. But not this year as Miller has the luxury of going 10 deep with not a lot of drop off in talent and ability. It must be fun for Miller. It is like playing with blocks as a kid -- sitting on the living room floor, looking for the right fit and solving the puzzle.

Come Thursday, the Arizona Wildcats (11-2) will begin a new season. Let's hope Miller can solve the puzzle and keep the Wildcats competitive and in the running for a Pac-10 title.
