Bouncing back
Last time out the UA was shocked at Utah, falling behind by as much as 20 in an 81-66 loss. Arizona shot a season-low 35.2 percent, making only 4 of 28 3-pointers, just three days after jumping up to No. 4 in the Associated Press Top 25 thanks to its Maui Invitational title.
As bad as the performance in Salt Lake City was, it does provide the Wildcats with a rare opportunity to show how they respond to defeat.
