Arizona Wildcats and Washington Huskies to Clash in Seattle at Alaska Airlines Arena

As the Arizona Wildcats prepare to face off against the Washington Huskies at the Alaska Airlines Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent string of challenging games. The Wildcats have shown both resilience and areas for improvement, which will be critical in their upcoming game scheduled for January 19.

The last time ARIZ took to the court on December 20 against Gonzaga Bulldogs, they fell short with a final score of 69-81. Despite this loss, there were notable performances including an impressive steal count of 12 and a free throw percentage that held strong at 80 percent. However, their three-point shooting was lackluster at just 21 percent and they were outrebounded by the Bulldogs who secured 32 rebounds over ARIZ's 21.

In contrast, during their December 18 victory over Arizona State Sun Devils with a commanding scoreline of 91-52, ARIZ demonstrated what they are capable of when firing on all cylinders. Their field goal percentage was an impressive nearly 57 percent and they dominated from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of an astounding nearly 65 percent. Additionally, their assist-to-turnover ratio stood out as they dished out twice as many assists as turnovers committed.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for ARIZ; on December 14 against Texas Longhorns ranked fifth nationally at that time, despite putting up a valiant effort in scoring which ended in a defeat with a scoreline of 75-88. The Wildcats struggled particularly in two-point field goals where they only made around half compared to Texas' higher efficiency rate.

Looking ahead to the clash with WASH, it's clear that rebounding will be crucial for ARIZ if they wish to control the game's tempo and create second-chance opportunities. Moreover, improving their two-point field goal percentage could be key in securing more points within paint where battles are often won or lost.

The Huskies will not make it easy; known for their competitive spirit and home-court advantage in Seattle could play into WASH's hands. However, if ARIZ can replicate some aspects from their win against ASU while tightening up defensively as seen against GONZ – particularly by reducing turnovers – then fans may witness another exhilarating win for Arizona Wildcats.

Fans should mark their calendars for January 19 when these two teams go head-to-head under Seattle’s bright lights starting at tip-off time is set for January evening local time (January early morning UTC).
