Could it be a Trifecta?

It's Duke against our Arizona Wildcats basketball team today in the NIT Season Tip-off final at Madison Square Gardens and tomorrow it's the regular-season football finale in Tempe as the 'Cats invade Sun Devil Stadium.

After the Wildcats upset win over Oregon last Saturday at Arizona Stadium, it is now possible for our 'Cats to post a Trifecta. Win all three and the Wildcats plane ride home from New York and the journey south on I-10 back to Tucson may become the post game celebration of all time by the players involved.

Not to mention the Arizona fans who will be taking it all in with a turkey sandwich in one hand and their favorite beverage in the other as they set back in their favorite easy chair and witness the two events on the tube.

Of course, the Las Vegas odds makers aren't giving our Wildcats a chance. For some reason (that Eastern bias for one) has sixth-ranked Duke favored by a slim margin (at least) over the fourth-ranked Wildcats.

As for the football game up in Tempe, well the odds makers have the Sun Devils a two-touchdown favorite. After all, ASU is ranked and the Wildcats are still struggling to get an also-ran vote in the top 40.

Come on Wildcats, bring home the hardware from the Big Apple and grab a hold of the Territorial Cup and roll out of Tempe with a collective fist pump and some "bragging rights" for a year.

This would be one Trifecta ticket worth having.

Go, Wildcats!
