PALM DESERT, Calif.—If it felt like you’d seen that exact same Arizona game recently, you’re not having deja vu. It happened about two weeks ago on the other side of the country.
The third-ranked Wildcats squandered a 10-point halftime lead, falling behind late in the second half as foul trouble mounted, but kept their composure to pull out a 74-68 win over No. 21 Michigan State on Thanksgiving afternoon.
The UA (6-0) outscored MSU 11-2 over the final 3:57 after trailing for the first time all game, with Keshad Johnson’s putback at the 2:57 mark giving it the lead back for good.
