The Wildcats are only 3-2, but looked potentially impressive in close losses to Vanderbilt and Wisconsin out in Maui. The Wildcats have a few more opportunities after tonight to pick up a few resume building wins with contests against Oklahoma, NC State and BYU yet to come. Factor in a winnable PAC 10 devoid of the six or seven Goliaths usually looming, and Arizona has legit hopes of keeping their absolutely remarkable streak alive.
Nic Wise and the 'Cats look to pick up a resume win tonight.UNLV picked up a big resume win, taking down Louisville for the second straight year and gets another big chance tonight. With the Mountain West seemingly a little less powerful this year, every early win helps bolster the Runnin' Reb's case.
This is another game off the national radar, but one with far-reaching tourney shaping impact.

Papa Maniac here. I was at the Steel Bowl in 1970 as a member of the Duquesne Freshman Team (yes they had them in those days). What is interesting was that this was one of only 3 regular season losses suffered by Duquesne and kept from playing UCLA in the final. What few people know is that team and next years team had 11 players go on to either the ABA or the NBA - quite a talented team. Even more so is that there are now 5 lawyers, 2 judges, 7 executives and 5 small business owners from those same teams. Talented but also intelligent. It was a great time and a great group of players who were also people.
