Arizona notebook: Trap avoided -- barely
With a critical trip to Washington looming this week and impressive wins over Cal and Stanford (on the road) and Colorado (at home) in their rearview mirror, perhaps a matchup with lowly Utah was a predictable trap for the Wildcats.
That doesn't mean coach Sean Miller had to be happy watching his Arizona team fall behind by 13 points before escaping with a 70-61 home victory...

Fogg's big night key to Wildcats' win over Cal
All season it's been a case of which Arizona men's basketball team will show up?
And not just in games or in halves, but from possession to possession.
It's been that inconsistent.
Thursday night it couldn't have been more apparent or dramatic in Arizona's crazy swings.
It might also be a night that's remembered as the game where the Wildcats grew up...

Wildcats gaining confidence after rocky start
TUCSON All of a sudden Arizona has momentum.
Along with it has come a swagger. It has a confidence that wasn't there just a month ago, clearly wasn't there two months ago.
But it's also what Arizona coach Sean Miller was talking about three months ago when he talked about improving by February.
"We're on the steady climb of being a good team," Miller...

Defense at heart of Wildcats' success
TUCSON Hope is where the heart is.
And right now Arizonas hope of finishing strong and maybe, just maybe, getting a shot at the NCAA tournament will come from its defense.
It's on that end of the court where the Wildcats have consistently shown the most heart throughout an up-and-down season, and especially in last week's sweep at California and Stanford.

Fogg in the forecast for UCLA
UCLA is 0-2 in conference play for the first time since 1987-88. They're looking to avoid their first 0-3 start since the same year and here comes Arizona guard Kyle Fogg into town.
He could not be coming at a worse time for the Bruins.
Fogg is a 6-3 senior guard from Brea and is second on Arizona in scoring, averaging 11.6 points per game, but he's had some of his best...

The result: His first recruiting class at Arizona had seven players from the Eastern Time Zone and only six were from the Pacific Time Zone.
