History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n TUCSON, Ariz. Freshman Brayden Burries<\/a>\u00a0continued his strong play over the last seven games, finishing with 20 points, Ivan Kharchenkov<\/a> added 14 and top-ranked Arizona overcame a sluggish start to rout Bethune-Cookman 107-71 on Monday night.<\/p>\n The Wildcats (12-0) remained No. 1 in this week’s AP Top 25 after shutting down San Diego State on Saturday, but labored early on offense in the final game before their holiday break.<\/p>\n Careless at times with the ball, Arizona allowed Bethune-Cookman (3-9) to hang around until ratcheting up its defensive pressure midway through the first half.<\/p>\n Arizona used a big run to build a 14-point halftime lead and shot 57% from the floor to match its best start since opening 12-0 in 2014-15. The Wildcats scored 50 points in the paint, grabbed 20 more rebounds and converted 36 points off Bethune-Cookman’s 22 turnovers.<\/p>\n
