That familiar ring, Arizona wins PAC-10 hoops title: In their own words

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

Post-game interviews are boring. The best reactions come after the microphones, Polo shirts and repetitive questions have all exited the locker room.

Tell us what you really think, Wildcats.

PAC-10 champs. The only thing with a more familiar ring to it in Tucson is the bell of the U.S.S. Arizona, which clangs throughout the day on the University of Arizona campus.

The Wildcat basketball team claimed the 12th conference title in program history on Saturday with 90-82 over the Oregon Ducks in the Old Pueblo.

Kyle Fogg leg the Wildcats with 20 points as Arizona finished their home schedule with an unblemished 17-0 record.
