Motiejus Krivas had 15 points and seven rebounds in the first half to help Arizona take a 41-38 halftime lead over UCF in a game when the Knights carried momentum into halftime.

The Big 12 had Arizona open league play with three straight Saturday road games, all daytime contests, allowing the Wildcats to easily fit them into their routine.
