The Arizona Wildcats needed one last quality win before conference play starts in two weeks.
They got it in Houston, barely.
Arizona played a “neutral site” game against the Texas A&M Aggies (been told there were more Wildcat fans there for what it’s worth) and came away with a 67-63 victory to improve to 10-2 on the season with just one non-conference contest remaining.
The Aggies started to struggle in the final five minutes of the first half. They didn’t make a field goal in that time frame, and Arizona was able to head to the locker room on a 9-0 run, leading 41-28 after a Lauri Markkanen three.
