With 9:41 remaining in the first half, Lauri Markkanen nailed a three pointer to push Arizona’s lead into double digits, 23-12.
The lead would never get back down to single digits. And Markkanen was just warming up.
In his first game as a Wildcat against the hated rival from up north, the Arizona State Sun Devils, the Finnish frosh led the Arizona Wildcats to a 91-75 win and set a new career-high with 30 points. He snagged eight rebounds too.
This game was never close. Almost immediately after tip-off, the Wildcats ran away with it.
