The Arizona Wildcats pulled off another nailbiter with a 70-69 victory over the Texas Longhorns.

The Arizona Wildcats came up just a few seconds short in a 77-75 overtime loss to the Washington Huskies in the Pac-10 tournament championship game.

Derrick Williams turned in another fabulous performance, scoring 24 points and grabbing 11 rebounds to lead the Wildcats.

The Arizona Wildcats were embarassed in a 71-49 loss to the UCLA Bruins.
Derrick Williams lead the Wildcats with 15 points and seven rebounds, but it was hardly his best effort.
Arizona held the early advantage but fell behind by 10 at halftime. Giving up 40 first-half points to the defensive-minded Bruins was disappointing to say the least.
The second half saw Arizona continue to fall further and further behind. Arizona shot just 31 percent from the field and 21 percent from three-point range. ( Read More…)
