What a great run the Arizona Wildcats have had this season. They went undefeated their first 21 games, which is a school record. Last night, that run came to an end when the California Golden Bears beat the Wildcats with a three pointer just before time expired. The home crowd stormed the floor of Haas Pavillion with .9 seconds still left in the game. The referrees, coaches and announcers had to shoo everyone off the court before Cal received a technical foul, so the Wildcats could make their final attempt to tie the game. It was not to be, and they suffered the first loss of the season.
A greater loss than the game score is the probability of Brandon Ashley’s broken foot taking him out for the remainder of the season. Sean Miller is already making his switch up plans, and the team will continue on, with Arlington, Texas and the Final Four in their sights.
Next up: Oregon at home on Thursday. Let’s start a new winning run and not stop until we win the National Championship game on April 7th. Go ‘Cats!!
