Azuolas Tubelis fell just a point shy of Al Fleming's McKale Center points record by a Wildcat on the same night he was inducted into the Ring of Honor.
Justin Spears The No. 5 Arizona Wildcats avenged their loss to the Oregon Ducks in Eugene with a 91-76 beatdown at McKale Center on Thursday.1. Tubelis' monster performanceIf Arizona forward Azuolas Tubelis had anything to say about the Pac-12 Player of the Year race, he certainly made his case — or potentially final stamp — on Thursday. He might've created a statement for National Player of the Year.
"It's an award for an individual, so I don't care," Tubelis said."I'm a team player. I don't care about that stuff."2. UA overcomes slow startArizona trailed Oregon 5-0 to start the game, prompting Tommy Lloyd to call a timeout 97 seconds into the first half. 3. Advantage Arizona insideIn the previous matchup, Ducks coach Dana Altman installed South Carolina transfer Jermaine Couisnard and Nate Bittle into the starting lineup to"shake things up" after getting routed by Arizona State.
4. Kriisa reaches 300 dimesArizona guard Kerr Kriisa finished with seven assists on Thursday, putting his career total at 305. Kriisa is the first Wildcat to dish 300 career assists since Parker Jackson-Cartwright. The person dribbling the ball: Al Fleming, Faulkner's older brother and a former Arizona star, who scored 41 points against Detroit in 1976, a McKale Center record by a Wildcat. Fleming — also known as"Big Al" — holds UA records for career double-doubles and rebounds .
