News and notes from No. 9 Arizona's gritty win over No. 6 Tennessee.
The common denominator in No. 9 Arizona's 75-70 against sixth-ranked Tennessee on Saturday is that big-time college basketball was played at McKale Center.
The last time ... Arizona's win over Tennessee marked the Wildcats' first triumph over a Top-10 nonconference opponent at McKale since 2014-15, when the UA took down ninth-ranked Gonzaga 66-63 in overtime. Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd was on Gonzaga's bench as Mark Few's top assistant coach that day.
Three-stripe lifestyleWhen Dalen Terry and Bennedict Mathurin were at Arizona, they had access to some of the best gear Nike had to offer. Now the only swoosh they'll don publicly is on their NBA uniforms. Mathurin, who was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in November, is averaging 18.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game off the bench for the Wildcats in his rookie year. Terry has appeared in 11 games for the Bulls and has also spent time in the G League.
Duncanville was recently stripped of its 2022 Class 6A Texas state championship, after the Panthers were discovered to play an ineligible player during its title run last season. Duncanville is also unable to participate in the postseason this year and head coach David Peavy is suspended for the season.
