Breakdown: Arizona downs Wazzu

For Arizona it was Solomon Hill who once again stepped up and adapted to the situation. He scored four clutch baskets and may have had the assist of the year to Perry late in the game. Hill also took on the task of guarding Motum down the in the closing minutes.

The best defense for the Wildcats on Motum in the end was the free-throw line. He started 9-11 from the line and then proceeded to go 1/7 in the final seven minutes of the game. Outstanding execution in the pick-and-roll was the cherry on top of the 76-72 win for Arizona on the road.

What went right for Arizona? Down the stretch execution was crisp, fluid, and that of a veteran team. On back-to-back plays they ran a pick-and-roll. First Hill took a screen from Perry and dropped a perfect pass leading to a nice finish. Then to top that off Perry gave Josiah Turner a pick and rolled through to catch a laser left-handed pass capping the play off with an old fashioned three-point play. That play put the Wildcats up three with :38 seconds to go.

When it was over? Brendon Lavender on the season was only a 58.3% free-throw shooter, but stepped to the line with 10.1 seconds to go and a two point lead on the road. He calmly, and confidently sank both free-throws for the win.

Who stepped up for Arizona? Perry and Hill were great, but it was Lavender's hot shooting that sparked the win. The team was 9-19 from deep and that was thanks to Lavender going 5-7 on his own.

Stat of the Game: When Perry went to the bench, someone needed to step up on the glass and an unexpected career-high 10 rebounds came out of Kyle Fogg. It was indicative of Fogg's career; no matter what the team needs he finds a way to do it night in and night out.

They said it: "It is a great feeling, we worked so hard throughout the week in practice to get those wins on the road so it's a beautiful feeling. As long as we can keep it up and stay together and everyone just keeps playing as hard as they can then we'll have a good outcome." - Brendon Lavender

What it means: With the win the Wildcats are now 19-8 overall and 10-4 in Pac-12 play thanks to their current 5-game winning streak.

What's Next: The Rematch is on. Arizona stays in the Pacific Northwest with a big-time matchup against Washington. A win in Seattle Saturday would propel the Wildcats into first place in the conference.
