Arizona basketball: Inconsistency could prevent the Wildcats from having a special season

When Katy Perry released the hit song "Hot N Cold" in 2008, perhaps she was foreshadowing the season this Arizona Wildcats team would have. Okay, she probably wasn't, but if she was, she would've been prophetic.

The Wildcats have been a team of two halves this season. They're hot and then they're cold, and it was on full display in their sweep of the Los Angeles schools this weekend.

On Friday night, the Wildcats struggled out of the gate and wallowed to a 10-point halftime deficit at home to an underwhelming UCLA team. Arizona was able to escape with a narrow victory, but needed one of its best defensive halves of the season to do so.
