Arizona Looks to Keep ASU's Bachynski in 'Check'
Arizona has done a good job containing
Jordan Bachynski in seven career games.

Reigning Pac-12 Player of the Week Jordan Bachynski has proved to be a load for most opponents this season, especially last weekend for Oregon State and Oregon, on which the 7-2, 250-pound junior center narrowly missed two consecutive triple doubles.

Correcting Aaron Gordon's Free-Throw Shooting
Forcing the issue on offense has led to
Aaron Gordon not being relaxed at the
free throw line. Did he turn a corner
against Oregon State?

The two players are obviously similar in playing style, as they are high-flying highlight reels of rebounding and dunking prowess. Many comparisons have also been drawn based on their performance at the charity stripe. But on closer examination, it appears Griffin was more polished at the same stage of his collegiate career.
But did the Oregon State victory start to change that?

Splitting Pants Can Get Arizona Back on Track
At the end of Arizona's 67-65 victory over Oregon at McKale, coach Sean Miller sprinted to the locker room. But it wasn't just because he was relieved the Wildcats escaped their second consecutive loss. He had to change into sweats after splitting his pants during the game's final, nail-biting minutes.

Broken Foot, Lots of Questions but No Broken Dreams
When Cal's Nick Kravish stepped on the back of Brandon Ashley's right foot in the first half of the 60-58 loss Saturday night at Haas Pavilion, it could have been very easily to send Arizona's national champion chances up in smoke.
