The California Golden Bears lead No. 18 Arizona 32-26 at the half. Junior Dusan Ristic leads all Arizona scorers with 10 points and two rebounds.
With both Arizona and California coming off of extended holiday breaks, the first half was a game of runs.
The Wildcats struggled to find their shot early, and head coach Sean Miller called a timeout a little over a minute in to the game after the Bears jumped to a quick 4-0 lead. At the first media timeout with 15:35 left in the first half, both teams were 2-14 from the field and had combined for four turnovers.
