Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    In one of the early statistical anomalies of the season, a Wildcats starter is both the team’s best three-pointer shooter and its worst free-throw shooter. Who is he?

    • T.J. McConnell

    • Aaron Gordon

    • Nick Johnson

    • Brandon Ashley

    Correct Answer
    A. Aaron Gordon
    Explanation
    These numbers are likely to reverse themselves as the season goes along, but Gordon, Arizona’s highly touted freshman, is leading the starters in three-point field goal percentage (50 percent) but trails the pack in free-throw percentage (49 percent).

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Among Arizona’s top seven players in terms of minutes played, one has yet to record a single steal this season. Who is he?

    • Rondae Hollis-Jefferson

    • Gabe York

    • Aaron Gordon

    • Kaleb Tarczewski

    Correct Answer
    A. Kaleb Tarczewski
    Explanation
    Granted, centers are not asked to steal the ball a lot. Tarczewski does lead the team in blocks, with 14. But while averaging about 25 minutes a game, one would think that Tarczewski would have at least an accidental steal by now. In 35 games last season, he tallied 10 steals, or one every 3.5 games. In other words, he’s overdue.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Along the same line, which two schools will not visit Arizona this season?

    • Oregon and Oregon State

    • Stanford and California

    • UCLA and USC

    • Colorado and Utah

    Correct Answer
    A. UCLA and USC
    Explanation
    This is sure to upset many Wildcats fans, given the rivalry that has developed over 30 years between Arizona and UCLA. Another setback for Arizona fans will be losing the opportunity to see those teams’ new coaches at McKale Center. UCLA is off to an 8-0 start under coach Steve Alford, who left New Mexico after last season. USC is 5-3 under coach Andy Enfield, who came to the Pac-12 from Florida Gulf Coast University.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    When the Pac-12 Conference added two universities before the 2012-13 season, it did away with the true round robin for basketball in which all teams played each other once at home and once on the road. As a result, all teams skip road trips to two schools per season. Who will the Wildcats not visit this season?

    • Stanford and California

    • Washington and Washington State

    • USC and UCLA

    • Utah and Colorado

    Correct Answer
    A. Washington and Washington State
    Explanation
    The Wildcats will open Pac-12 play by hosting Washington State and Washington on Jan. 2 and Jan. 4, respectively. After that, the only time Arizona would be able to meet the two Northwest schools would be in the Pac-12 Tournament or another postseason event.
