Arizona Wildcats Basketball
It wasn't pretty. In fact, it was down right ugly for the first ten minutes of the second half as Arizona blew a 17-point lead but still found a way to beat ASU in Tempe today, 69-60.
The fifth-ranked Wildcats did everything right in the first twenty minutes and built a 45-28 lead over the Sun Devils but scored just 24 points the rest of the way. Fortunately, they could count on Azuolas Tubelis and Oumar Ballo to right the ship.
Tubelis scored 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds, while Ballo, despite early foul trouble, finished with a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Arizona shot just 37.7 percent from the field (20 of 53), but Arizona State couldn't sizzle the nets on its homecourt either, hitting just 25 of 69 from the field for 36.2 percent. Arizona made 24 of 28 free throws, while the Sun Devils were 7 of 10 from the charity stripe.
The Wildcats improved to 13-1 and 2-1 in the Pac-12 Conference, while the Sun Devils dropped to 11-3 on the season and 2-1 in the conference.
