2008 was a strange year for Arizona Basketball, one in each the Wildcats were guided by interim head coach, Russ Pennell, and had a trio of talent in Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, and Nic Wise.

On December 23, 2008, the Jayhawks, fresh off a championship season, came to Tucson for this Big-12/ Pac-10 showdown.

Starting a little sluggish, Arizona would fall behind early, trailing the Jayhawks at the half 38-35. The Wildcats would again start the second half a little sluggish, allowing Kansas to extend their lead to 44-35.

Then the Wildcats woke up! Arizona would go on a 29-6 run, turning this one into an eventual route!
