Senior guard Anthony Dell'Orso tied a season high with 22 points, and No. 4 Arizona toppled second-ranked Houston 73-66 Saturday afternoon -- the Wildcats' 25th victory of the year -- to move into sole possession of first place in the Big 12 Conference.
“The two losses just didn’t taste right in the mouth,” Arizona’s Ivan Kharchenko said. The fourth-ranked Wildcats are feeling a lot better now after winning two straight following that skid, capped by Saturday’s 73-66 victory over No. 2 Houston that gave them sole possession of first place in the Big 12 Conference. Arizona (25-2, 12-2) lost to then-No. 9 Kansas and then- 16th-ranked Texas Tech to drop out of the No. 1 spot in the AP Top 25 poll.
