Four of Arizona’s next seven games are against teams currently in the Top 10:
No. 3 Houston
No. 5 Iowa State
No. 9 Kansas (twice)
BasketCats also play No. 16 Texas Tech and No. 22 BYU in that span.
Yikes…

That is a rough run and I will be very surprised if they finish that without a loss. They are still the best team I have seen this year regardless.
And Kansas knocks off #1 Arizona.

Kansas gives Arizona their first loss of the season 82-78.
That was a good game. So tough to win at the Phog.
From Jeff Goodman on X
‘There have been 15 Top 10 games at Allen Fieldhouse where Kansas wasn’t the higher ranked team in the Bill Self Era.
Bill Self’s record: 15-0.’

UH has 2 games they “should” win, and then has @ISU, AZ, @KU in a Mon-Sat-Mon 8 day stretch. B12 schedulers do nobody no favors.

At least when March rolls around, Big XII teams have the “Strength of Schedule” metric covered.

Yeah their Strength of Schedule will be strong because Arizona and Houston both played three SEC teams in the non conference season.
(I kid, I kid - I know they went a combined 5-1 in those 6 games)

Coogs up on the Utes by 15 in the 2nd. Eat 'em up!

Sharp just sank his 8th 3-pointer of the game. I believe that puts him in the lead all-time for 3-pointers for the Coogs.

Illinois provided a pro lesson in why making free throws matters.
The Big XII has many very good basketball teams. The Colorado Buffaloes are not one of them.
Texas Tech 50, Colorado 23 only about 5:00 into the second half.
Tech wins 78-44. Things get considerably more difficult Saturday at Arizona.
Peterson has decided he can play today, looking forward to Kansas-Iowa State here in a few minutes
eta: Woof…this game is ugly
Florida is going to be a tough out for anyone in the Tourney, peaking at the right time.

Texas Tech and Arizona tied at the half at 32. A great game so far.
Elsewhere a bad Red Raider baseball team got beat up by Vanderbilt and a superb Red Raider softball team won to remain undefeated at 11-0.
