Leif Thulin breaks down Arizona's 84-49 demolition of Northern Arizona, where the Wildcats' suffocating defense held NAU to just 17 first-half points. The defensive transformation signals a new identity for Tommy Lloyd's squad, one that could propel them toward a one-seed if they maintain top-20 defensive efficiency alongside their guaranteed top-10 offense.

Dwayne Aristode's career-high six three-pointers showcased Arizona's offensive versatility when opponents double-team their stars. The Wildcats won by 35 despite Koa Peat and Jaden Bradley having quiet nights, proving their championship-caliber depth. Leif analyzes how this three-point shooting emergence creates multiple pathways to victory, then previews the high-stakes UCLA matchup in Inglewood where Arizona enters as favorites despite preseason projections having them as underdogs.

Tune in for expert analysis on Arizona's defensive evolution, role player development, and what the UCLA game reveals about their Final Four potential.
