CORVALLIS, OR – Fresh off a big loss to Washington State last Saturday, No. 9 Arizona Basketball (14-2, 3-2) takes on Oregon State (7-9, 1-4). 

After an abysmal week, No. 9 Arizona Basketball is back in action and on the road, as they look to bounce back from their loss to Washington State.

Returning to the hardwood to face the Oregon State Beavers, the Wildcats should have the talent advantage here; however, the trip to Oregon has not been favorable for the Cats in recent history, and the Wildcats did not play well last week.

Coming in, the Wildcats are the double-digit favorites, but it is going to take a better offensive performance than we’ve seen over the past couple of games, and Arizona will have to bring the intensity from the tip and get its offense rolling early if they are going to get the win!

With Arizona Basketball preparing for Oregon State, here is how you can watch and follow their game.

Arizona Game Preview:

Resuming conference play against Pac-12 foe Oregon State, Arizona has run into a bit of a bumpy road as of late, but with the talent advantage, the Wildcats will look to get back on track here.

Coming into Thursday’s action, this should be an intriguing matchup! Both squads share quite the collective history here, and overall Arizona has dominated, holding the 69-22 advantage since 1975, including winning the last five straight.

The last time both these teams played each other was in Tucson last February where Arizona came away with the 83-69 victory.

Arizona’s offense is going to need to get to work quickly in this one and keep its momentum, meanwhile, the defense has to bring a better effort if they hope to avoid Saturday’s upset! You’re going to need your coffee for this one as tip-off is set for 9:00 P.M. Tucson time!
