Take a gander at the best video clips from Arizona's postgame press conference after the Wildcats beat Cal by 25 points at McKale Center.

Arizona avoided its eighth consecutive loss and cruised by Cal 76-51 on Thursday behind Ryan Luther's five 3-pointers in a 19-point night for the graduate transfer power forward.

The Wildcats shot 4 of 15 from 3-point range in the first half, but picked up steam in the second half when it made 7 of 16 from beyond the arc.

Freshman Devonaire Doutrive finished the night with a career-high 11 points, six rebounds and three assists. Chase Jeter contributed 13 points on 6 of 8 shooting, and grabbed seven rebounds. 

Arizona advances to a 15-12 record, 6-8 in the Pac-12. Up next, the Wildcats will host Stanford at 6 p.m. Sunday. UA coach Sean Miller, Luther and Doutrive spoke during Arizona's postgame press conference; here's what they had to say.
