Farleigh Dickinson no match for 5th-ranked Wildcats

Arizona Basketball


The Farleigh Dickinson Knights were no match for the fifth-ranked Arizona Wildcats tonight at McKale Center.

For us old Wildcat fans who stayed up late to watch the 9 p.m. tip off, we certainly got our money's worth as Arizona (4-0) cleared the bench and led at the half 51-24 and cruised to a 100-50 victory in the first round of the NIT Season Tip-off.

Gabe York led the Wildcats with 20 points. Five Wildcats scored in double figures. Jacob Hazzard in mop-up duty netted a career-high eight points.

I'll try to get a nap or two tomorrow as the Wildcats have another late tip-off on Tuesday night as they take on Rhode Island, winners over Metro State earlier this evening by a score of 66-63.
