No. 11 Arizona MBB defeats Stanford 82-71

The No. 11 Arizona men’s basketball team defeated Stanford University 82-71 on Sunday, Feb. 4, at 6 p.m. in McKale Center. Arizona is coming off a commanding 91-65 win over the University of California, Berkeley, when the Wildcats met against the Golden Bears on Feb. 1. Arizona continues to hold a 71-34 series record lead against Stanford, but recently suffered a 100-82 loss against the Cardinal back on Dec. 31, 2023 in Maples Pavilion, California.

First Half

Opening the first half, Caleb Love scored a 3-pointer on the first shot of the night, and Maxime Raynaud answered on the other end with a 3-pointer of his own. Stanford quickly grabbed a 10-6 lead after a made jumper by Michael Jones, who went on to score a 3-pointer due to an Arizona turnover. Arizona decided to call a timeout after a brief 9-0 run by Stanford in the early minutes of the first quarter, during which six 3-pointers were traded back and forth.

The lead was nine with a score of 26-17 when Pelle Larsson made a layup, allowing Motiejus Krivas to block a shot while dunking the ball on the next play, catching up to the 26-21 score. After 12 minutes into the game, Raynaud made two free throws to maintain the Cardinal lead. Stanford retained three back-to-back possessions but failed to score on all of them, going 0-10 on shots. KJ Lewis tied the game at 28, forcing a timeout on a 7-0 Arizona run.

Coming out of the timeout Brandon Angel hit a jumper which was followed by a 6-0 Stanford run after matching the score at 32. The Cardinal built back up a 10-point lead approaching two minutes to go in the first quarter due to a 3-pointer taken by Raynaud. Arizona went into the half trailing 45-34. Stanford went 9 for 19 on shots from the 3-point line and were able to obtain five steals in the first quarter. Raynaud led Stanford in the first half with 21 points, going 3-3 from beyond the arc and 8-10 on his shots, while Jones followed with 16 points of his own. For Arizona, Ballo scored eight points to lead the Wildcats in the first half.

Second Half

Out of the halftime break, Arizona erased the lead Stanford created and went toe-to-toe with the score, only being separated by a few possessions. The Wildcats got within three points of the 45-42 score following a free throw by Ballo, after a made layup. Stanford was seemingly in control, leading by six points, as Larsson hit a jumper on the other end, denting the 52-48 lead. Love tied the game at 52 off a layup. Lewis erupted the crowd in McKale with a dunk to push the Arizona lead to three.

Arizona began an 11-0 run after three turnovers by Stanford, allowing Krivas to extend the lead to 59-52 after a layup that he tipped in. With under 10 minutes to go in the second quarter, Raynaud made another 3-pointer to get within two points of the score, which was as close as the Cardinal would get for the rest of the night. Angel was able to quiet the blaring crowd in McKale with a 3-pointer off a turnover, fighting against the clock and the 69-65 score. A dunk by Ballo gave momentum to save Arizona’s 71-65 lead, which was solidified and expanded into ten points off of Jaden Bradley’s crucial free throws. Arizona secured the 82-71 home victory over Stanford, as the Cardinal were unable to chip away the lead the Wildcats built late in the second half.

Raynaud finished leading Stanford with 29 points and six rebounds while Love and Ballo matched for 18 points apiece. Additionally, Ballo grabbed 13 rebounds, achieving a double-double in back-to-back games while Love obtained eight rebounds and seven assists for the night.

Head coach Tommy Lloyd was asked about the support shared between the team and how the players react to one another’s success:

“We’re a team; I mean, we’re a program […]. We’re never going to be a program that is going to try and showcase one player, you know I mean, we want our team to represent Tucson. Tucson is a tough blue-collar town, and that’s how we want to play. No one needs to shine; we just need to get the result, and that’s how we approach it.”

Looking ahead

The Wildcats will be traveling to Salt Lake City, to visit the University of Utah with the two programs set to meet on Thursday, Feb. 8, at 6 p.m. in Jon M. Huntsman Center.

Central Arizona is home to the ‘World’s Oldest Rodeo.’ Here’s what to see and do there

PRESCOTT, AZ (AZFamily) — Beautiful Prescott, Arizona, is home to the “World’s Oldest Rodeo,” and on this Field Trip Friday, we’re getting a look at what to expect when it opens next week!

Scott Pasmore and Gibby Parra went to check out the Prescott Frontier Days event that attracts thousands every year. There’s a wild horse race, barrel racing and bull riding — and that’s just the beginning of what you can see!

Rodeo Royalty

No rodeo is complete without Rodeo Royalty, or experienced horsewomen who help keep the sport alive. Scott and Gibby introduce you to the rodeo queens of the “World’s Oldest Rodeo.”

Anna Butler was named the 2026 Prescott Frontier Days rodeo queen, Ava Brooks was named the 2027 rodeo queen, and Ellie Weeks was named the 2027 junior queen.

Granite Mountain Distillery

Granite Mountain Distillery opened in 2025 and welcomes customers on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The distillery has a limited edition whiskey bottle made specially for the “World’s Oldest Rodeo.”

Master Distiller Chris Currie said the quality barrels that the distillery uses allow for the whiskey to be of such high quality.

There were only 1,888 rodeo edition bottles made. Each bottle has its own unique number to authenticity.

Red White and Brew

No one is more excited about the rodeo returning to town than all the local businesses in Prescott.

Summer is one of their busiest times of the year. It’s when many Arizona families head north from the Valley to escape the heat or to attend one of the many summer events in the historic town.

Scott and Gibby stopped by Red White and Brew to see what they’re cooking up this time of year.

“Frontier Days in Prescott is huge,” said Jennifer Collinge, general manager at Red White and Brew in Prescott. “It draws people in from all over the state, all over the country, come and visit us. We have a giant Fourth of July parade that is, I think, one of the biggest in the state. It’s just a week-long of festivities and fun; you don’t have to be involved in rodeo to enjoy it.”

If you want to go the extra mile, 20% of all sales made at Red White and Brew on Tuesday, June 30, will be donated to the Eric Marsh Foundation for Wildland Firefighters.

Whiskey River Tavern

Scott and Gibby spoke with former Prescott Mayor Greg Mengarelli about the exciting times ahead for the city.

“It’s going to be a great celebration,” Mengarelli said. “We’re already very patriotic at the rodeo, but America 250 is just up another level. It’s going to be an awesome celebration, and I hope everybody comes up to see us at the rodeo and the parade.”

He said Frontier Days is sold out, as has been the case over the past several years, and 17 foreign countries will be represented.

Wired Up: 400 Marines in southern Arizona ‘reinforcing’ border wall

Wired Up: 400 Marines in southern Arizona ‘reinforcing’ border wall

NOGALES, Ariz. (KGUN) — Approximately 400 Marines are working along the southern border in the Tucson sector, adding brackets and two types of wire to the border wall as part of an infrastructure improvement and barrier reinforcement mission.

Company Commander Kyle Harrison showed me the work underway in southern Arizona, where groups are operating in states bordering Mexico.

“Our purpose down here, ma’am, is primarily going to be infrastructure improvement and barrier reinforcement. So, general engineering is what we’re doing,” Harrison said.

The reinforcement work includes welding brackets onto the barrier and laying barbed wire along the wall.

“Marines, the furthest on the right, on that lift on the right, they’re actually welding the brackets onto the baller. It’s onto the barrier to the left. The next lift is going to be a group of Marines that are laying out the barbed wire,” Harrison said.

In two and a half months, the unit has put up wire across 25 miles of the wall in the Tucson sector, including in Douglas and Nogales.

“The purpose of laying the wire is just to reinforce the preexisting barrier, preexisting infrastructure,” Harrison said.

For most of the service members, this is their first time doing this kind of work. Harrison said the majority have been learning on the job.

“So vast majority of these marines have been receiving training on the job. Once they got here on site, they’ve been picking up the training and experience here,” Harrison said.

Part of that training includes obtaining the proper licenses to operate aerial lifts, which are civilian contracted equipment.

“So seeing as how it’s civilian contracted equipment, they did have to receive instruction and licensing and certification in order to run and operate them,” Harrison said.

With temperatures on the rise, units are also taking precautions to stay cool, including having medical personnel available on site.

“Hydration obviously on the front side, ma’am. Before anybody leaves the border patrol station on their way to the barrier, make sure that we have plenty of water, plenty of food, and then plenty of ice to keep everyone cool,” Harrison said.

Harrison said the unit will continue working along the border until every mile of the Tucson sector is complete.
