Revenge was swift and decisive.
Arizona opened Friday’s contest vs. Cal with nine unanswered points and never trailed on its way to a 86-73 win over the Golden Bears in the Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinals.
It is payback for Cal stunning the Wildcats in McKale Center last Sunday and spoiling their Senior Day. Arizona will face the winner of the Utah-Oregon game in the Pac-12 Tournament semifinals on Saturday at 7 p.m. MT.
The 4th-seeded Wildcats (24-6) obliterated the 12th-seeded Bears inside, notching a 44-18 edge in points in the paint. Cate Reese logged a career-high 30 points on an uber-efficient 13-of-15 shooting.
