Arizona is coming off its second loss of the season, a shocking upset at home to Washington State that has called into question whether the Wildcats are capable of matching or exceeding last season’s successes. The first chance to see if that’s the case comes Thursday when the UA begins a 2-game road trip, starting with a visit with the Oregon State Beavers in Corvallis.
OSU (7-9, 1-4) has shown major improvement from a year ago, when it went 3-28. The Beavers nearly beat Duke in a tournament in November and is 7-1 this season at Gill Coliseum.
