Arizona is going to be contending for a Big 12 title in their first year as a member of the conference. That's the type of program Tommy Lloyd has built in his short time in charge, having already taken the Pac-12 by storm with two regular season titles and two conference tournament titles during his first three years on the job before they moved conferences ahead of this campaign.

The University of Arizona men’s basketball team faced its first loss of the season in a crushing 103-88 defeat against the University of Wisconsin Badgers.

Wisconsin’s biggest weakness against Arizona was its rebounding. The Wildcats out-rebounded the Badgers 52-28, including 24 offensive rebounds. That stat was the one thing keeping the game competitive as Wisconsin dominated on the offensive end. This stat will be one to watch when the Badgers enter Big Ten play.
