Arizona has designated Thursday’s game against UCLA as its “white-out” game and, if history is any indication, the game will go down to the wire.
The Wildcats are 1-1 in their two previous white out games, in which fans are asked to wear white, having beaten Washington 87-86 in 2010-11 thanks to Derrick Williams’ game-saving block and losing to the Huskies last season 69-67 when Tony Wroten blocked a last-second layup by Josiah Turner.
