Arizona men’s basketball blows out Sacrament State in first game as ranked team

It’s understandable if the depression caused by the football team’s loss at ASU made you temporarily forget, but Arizona has a pretty darn good men’s basketball team. And in its first game since entering the AP Top 25 it backed up that newly acquired ranking.

The 17th-ranked Wildcats obliterated Sacramento State 103-59 on Saturday evening at McKale Center, leading for all but 48 seconds in dominating on both ends of the court.

Big men Azuolas Tubelis (22) and Christian Koloko (20) combined to make 17 of 23 field goals as the UA (6-0) shot 55.
