LAS VEGAS – The 2018-19 Arizona Wildcats have only won three games since Jan. 19 and it will stay that way, forever.

In a 78-65 loss to USC in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament Thursday the Wildcats ended their season with the same sort of issues that plagued them during a seven-game losing streak from Jan. 24 to Feb. 17: That is, poor shooting, turnovers and shaky defense.

USC shot 50 percent overall and converted 12 UA turnovers into 17 points, while the Wildcats’ shooting dropped off dramatically after a first half that ended in a 40-40 tie.
