The Arizona Basketball men’s team left the state of Washington with a sweep and the boost of confidence it needs to get back to the top of the Pac-12. Here are three things we learned from these last two games.

The Pac-12 season has been nothing but crazy so far and still plenty of games to be played. For Arizona Basketball, heading into the state of Washington they had yet to win a Pac-12 road game. No more. They showed what it meant to Bear Down and got the job done.

A full team effort in both games against the Washington Huskies and Washington State Cougars led to the first road sweep in the Pac-12. They are now tied with four other teams with three losses. Crazy to think this is the same Arizona that was picked to finish fourth during Pac-12 media day.

More importantly, we learned three things from this team that they will need to continue to do the remainder of the season in order to be in the best position to possibly with the Pac-12 regular season, Pac-12 Tournament and make a deep run during the NCAA Tournament.

Up next for the Wildcats is USC and UCLA at home. Big opportunity for this team to secure the No.1 spot in the Pac-12 conference. For that to happen though, they need to continue these three things, starting with sustained effort.
