Arizona began last season by scoring its most points in a game in 24 years. It decided not to wait nearly as long to top that tally and nearly set a school record for biggest margin of victory in the process.
The 12th-ranked Wildcats absolutely crushed Morgan State 122-59 on Monday night at McKale Center, tying for the fifth-most points in school history and the most since dropping 127 on ASU in 1998. The 63-point margin was one off the school record set against Robert Morris in 1996.
The UA scored 61 first-half points, its most since dropping 63 on ASU a quarter-century ago, and outscored its entire production from the upset loss to 15th-seeded Princeton the last time it was on the court.
