In a highly anticipated conference game at the McKale Center, the Arizona Wildcats emerged victorious over the Colorado Buffaloes with a final score of 61-42. The Wildcats' season record now stands at an impressive 18-0, while the Buffaloes fall to 21-1.

The Arizona Wildcats showcased their dominance early on, outscoring the Buffaloes in each quarter. The home team set the pace with a strong first-quarter performance, leading by seven points. They maintained their momentum throughout, adding another 14 points before halftime and continuing their scoring streak with 17 and 13 points in subsequent quarters.

The Wildcats' offensive efforts were matched by a solid defense that limited the Buffaloes to just ten points in both of the first two quarters and even fewer in the third.
