There's a change a comin' in the Pac-12 race

There's a change a comin' in the Pac-12 race.

The team making all the noise and the big push this week is the Arizona Wildcats. Fresh off a big win over California on Thursday, the Wildcats made it two in a row on the road today with an outstanding defensive effort, which led to a 56-43 victory over the Stanford Cardinal at the Maples Pavilion in Palo Alto. The Wildcats did it again, despite missing free throw, after free throw, while suffering through another game with Solomon Hill in foul trouble.

A 10-0 run by Arizona, with most of those points coming with Hill on the bench, ignited the Wildcats and allowed them to post a 47-39 lead with four minutes remaining in the game. It was all Arizona down the stretch as the Cardinal, hounded by the Wildcats' defense, score just four points the rest of the way. Kyle Fogg finishes with 14 points to lead the Wildcats, while Jesse Perry scores 11, Nick Johnson 10 and Hill ends up with 10 points and 9 rebounds.

Arizona moves to 16-8 and 7-4 in Pac-12 play. Wow!
