Arizona came into this season as an early national champion favorite as a new member of the Big 12. Head coach Greg Gard and his squad executed their game plan to perfection all night and were able to finish the job by capturing the win.

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.

A pregame ceremony to celebrate the 10th anniversary of back-to-back Final Four teams, memorializing Badgers head coach Bo Ryan in the rafters, and a Stripe Out, Wisconsin found a way to eclipse all the fanfare by improving to 4-0, matching its best start of the last six seasons, with a 103-88 victory over Arizona.
