RTC Live: USC @ Arizona
Posted by rtmsf on January 29th, 2011Game #120. RTC Lives makes its first-ever trip to Arizona’s McKale Center for a battle between Pac-10 stalwarts.
Today’s game between USC and Arizona at the McKale Center represents the turning point of the conference season. Arizona has designs on catching first-place Washington in the standings, sitting only one game behind the Huskies with the difference being the Wildcats’ loss at Seattle nine days ago. Secure in the knowledge that UW will have to pay Sean Miller’s team a return trip in late February, Arizona knows that it can’t afford a home loss here today. USC is coming off a solid road win in Tempe on Thursday night, and it’s clear that when their inside/outside duo of Nikola Vucevic and Jio Fontan have it going, they can compete with anyone in this league. Arizona has a strong frontcourt anchored by All-American candidate Derrick Williams, but guard play has been troublesome and inconsistent. Nevertheless, we’re excited to be headed to McKale tonight, site of so many great games over the years. Join us on RTC Live…
