The Arizona Wildcats rolled over the Arizona State Sun Devils today at McKale Center (see above photo). Nick Johnson scored 17 points, grabbed four rebounds and dished out three assists as the Wildcats gained a first-round bye for next week's Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas with a 73-58 win over the Sun Devils. Senior Solomon Hill netted 12 points and senior Kevin Parrom chipped in 13 as the Wildcats improved their overall record to 24-6, the best overall won-loss record in the conference. Arizona finishes 12-6 in conference play, one game back of UCLA. The Bruins (23-8) beat Washington today and win the Pac-12 title with a 13-5 record.
Arizona led at the end of the first half 40-25 and led by as many as 23 in the second half. The Sun Devils closed the gap to five points midway through the second half, but the Wildcats continued to apply the defensive pressure and went on to beat the Sun Devils for the second time this season.
And now it's on to Las Vegas and the Pac-12 Tournament.
Go, Wildcats!
