The Arizona mens basketball team defeated the Washington Huskies by a score of 95-79 in Tucson, Arizona. The Wildcats now move to 12-1 on the season and move to 2-0 in Pac-12 games.

This win comes 12 days after Tommy Lloyd’s team lost their first game in Knoxville to the University of Tennessee 77-73. The reason of the long layoff between games for the Wildcats is because their were COVID-19 complications within the UCLA and USC basketball programs forcing the games to be postponed.

Arizona was terrific from deep during tonight’s game, making 12 three pointers while being 50 percent.
