While giving up 100 points to the shorthanded Sun Devils on Tuesday, Arizona threw in 113 of its own. It was the first UA-ASU matchup in which both teams scored in triple digits since 1973.
Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd didn't start his four seniors who were recruited as walk-ons but the Wildcats' poor 3-point shooting defense allowed ASU to stay in the game on Senior Night.
