And now comes the hard part.
Following a fairly easy first third of the Pac-12 conference schedule, in which the Arizona Wildcats posted a 5-1 record, the upcoming stretch of games figures to be the most difficult of the 2018-19 season.
When Arizona plays Thursday at USC it will mark the start of a three-game road trip, something that occurs nearly every year in league play thanks to the Pac-12’s scheduling formula. After playing at USC and UCLA on Saturday, the Wildcats then visit Arizona State on Jan. 31.
Their next home game isn’t until Feb.
