Arizona routs UC Santa Barbara to stay unbeaten entering Pac-12 play

Aari McDonald scored 21 points as No. 18 Arizona completed an unbeaten non-conference season Saturday with a 61-42 win over UC Santa Barbara in McKale Center in front of 4,498.

It’s the first time the Wildcats (11-0) have gone undefeated in non-conference play since 1995-96, head coach Adia Barnes’ sophomore season.

Dating back to last season, Arizona has won a school-record 17 straight games, the longest active streak in the country.

Arizona’s average scoring margin is 30.2 this season, but this victory wasn’t as easy as the others despite the lopsided score.
