Wildcats say goodbye to Mac Court

Playing away from home is one thing, but playing college basketball in Eugene, Oregon,  at Mac Court is an entirely different ball game.

Well, the Arizona Wildcats will not have to worry about that anymore as they visited the Duck's rustic arena for the final time last night and walked away with a 76-57 win over Oregon in front of 6,498 onlookers. From McKale Center to Mac Court, that alone must have been a bit bothersome to the young Wildcats' team from the opening tip to the final buzzer. But, they got through it and now head for Corvallis for a Sunday night game against the Oregon State Beavers.

A sweep of the Oregon schools would give the Wildcats a good start to the Pac-10 season and they can return home to the spacious, friendly confines of McKale for a three-game home stand against California, Stanford and Arizona State.
