The Arizona Wildcats get by the the rugged SDSU Aztecs and the "Show" 70-64. The 'Cats Heralded Freshmen of Aaron Gordon (15 pts 6 rebs) and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (15 pts 6 rebs) held down the fort long enough for Pac-12 Player of the Year Nic Johnson to get going. "Nick the Quick" was 0-10 until he finally got a lay-up late then hit the game-breaking Money Ball as he ended up with 15 points and eight boards as he iced the game from the Stripe going 10 for 10. SDSU's Senior Lead Guard "X-Man" Xavier Thames had a game-high 25 points as he had control of the game until the 'Cats took a lead late in the 2nd half.
