SEATTLE, WA – Fresh off of a hard-fought win over Washington State, No. 6 Arizona Basketball (18-3, 7-3) resumes Pac-12 play against Washington (13-9, 5-6). 

Finishing up their road trip to Washington, No. 6 Arizona Basketball returns to action on Saturday afternoon after earning the hard-fought win against the Washington State Cougars just a few nights ago.

Coming in, Arizona will return to the hardwood to take on the Washington Huskies who are fresh off of an overtime win over Arizona State.

As we have seen, the Huskies are a talented but inconsistent team, and the last time these two teams met, Arizona needed a late rally to come away with the win.

For this one, Arizona should have the advantage once again; however, that doesn’t mean that the Cats can overlook this game, and winning on the road in the Pac-12 has proven to not be easy. The Wildcats will still have to bring the effort and intensity in this one if they are going to earn the win!

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

Arizona Game Preview:

Resuming conference play against conference foe Washington, Arizona has returned a bit to its dominant form, winning some ugly games with strong defensive play over the past couple of games.

Coming into Saturday’s action, this should be an exciting matchup as both squads share quite the collective history and have had some rather entertaining games over the years. And since 1978, Arizona holds the 56-31 advantage in this series, with the Wildcats winning the last six straight.

The last time both these squads met was in Tucson just a couple of weeks ago where Arizona came away with a narrow, 70-67 win.

Arizona will have to bring a better effort than what we saw the last time when these two teams met, and if the Wildcats are to win, they will need to bring the intensity from the start! Tip-off is set for 3:30 P.M. Tucson time!
