No.3 Wildcats won’t lose a Pac-12 game at home

The Pac-12 will be loaded with incoming talent and returners, making it an exciting conference race this season. It won’t be easy, especially for teams to win on the road making it even more important to win home court games. The Wildcats have all the right key ingredients to win all of their home Pac-12 games inside McKale Center.

According to 247 Sports, they have the second-ranked incoming Pac-12 class with the Oregon Ducks securing the No. 1 spot. USC and Washington are two other schools that will be among the top 4.  Another school that will be a tough outing is against UCLA.

The one thing though that gives the Wildcats the edge at home against all of their Pac-12 opponents is McKale Center. Considered to be one of the toughest places to play, opponents will need to bring it as they say if they want to have any chance this season.

Last season they lost to Oregon, Washington, Arizona State, and USC at home. Not this season. All of these schools better be ready because the Wildcats are gonna Bear Down on ya!
