Arizona Wildcats Basketball


The sixth-ranked Arizona Wildcats turned it on at McKale Center tonight and rolled to their second win of the young season with a 91-57 victory over visiting Long Beach State.

Four players scored in double figures with Brandon Ashley leading the way with 16 points, while Nick Johnson, Gabe York and Aaron Gordon chipped in 14 apiece, with Gordon getting a double-double with 10 rebounds.

Of course running the floor was T.J. McConnell with eight assists, two rebounds and three points as the Wildcats sent 14 players to the court. Arizona shoots 58 percent from the field on a 34 for 58 shooting night -- including 7 of 17 from three-point land, four of those treys coming from York.

Kaleb Tarczewski came close to a double-double with 10 rebounds and nine points.

The crowd let out an extra roar in the closing minutes when freshman Trey Mason, son of former Wildcat Harvey Mason, hit a three-pointer.

The Wildcats upped their game after a so-so performance in their season opener against Cal Poly. Tonight it was all systems go from the opening tip.

Next up: Wildcats travel to San Diego State on Thursday, Nov. 14.
