After knocking off Cal in their Pac-12 opener, the No. 18 Arizona Wildcats (12-2, 1-0) continue their Bay Area road trip as they take on Stanford (8-5, 0-1) on New Year’s Day.
The Cats began conference play on a high note by earning a road victory at Cal in Haas Pavilion. After initially coming out rusty, Arizona was able to impose their will in the paint and grind out a hard-fought victory at a venue where they’ve had little success in season’s past.
Arizona should be happy with their win; however, they cannot afford a let down in Maples Pavilion on New Year’s Day, when they take on the Stanford Cardinal.
