Result: Loss
Arizona coach Sean Miller, in no uncertain terms, believes freshman Lauri Markkanen isn't getting the attention he deserves. "For him not to be considered one of the best freshmen in college basketball is a complete joke," Miller said. "I mean, I will put him up against anybody -- not just a freshman -- with the quality of player he is. Period. I don't care if you're from Finland, Russia, China, Japan, North Dakota, Florida, California, New York City. "If you have eyes and you're watching Arizona play, there aren't many players who play the way he plays." Markkanen, a 7-foot forward from Finland, is averaging a team-high 17.0 points for seventh-ranked Arizona. The Wildcats (19-2, 8-0 Pac-12) will be trying to win their 14th consecutive game. Arizona has won 13 straight and hosts a Washington team that's allowed an average of 81.6 points over its past five games. This game has BLOWOUT written all over it. Take ARZ and expect them to win and win big on Sunday afternoon.
