No. 1 Arizona continued its historic unbeaten streak with an 84-47 dismantling of Oklahoma State, holding the Cowboys to 24.6% shooting and dominating the paint.
A Historic Start
Arizona’s 23-0 start is the best in school history and surpasses Kansas’ 22-0 Big 12 record from 1996-97, setting a new benchmark in the conference.
The Wildcats have been on a tear since joining the Big 12 last season, and this victory cements their status as the league’s most dominant team in decades.
Defensive Masterclass
Arizona’s defense was the story of the game, holding Oklahoma State to a dismal 24.6% shooting from the field—its lowest since 2014.
The Cowboys, who scored 99 points in their previous game against No. 16 BYU, were entirely neutralized by Arizona’s relentless pressure.
Key Performances
Brayden Burries led the charge with 15 points on 7-of-11 shooting and added eight rebounds. Arizona’s frontcourt overwhelmed Oklahoma State, outscoring them 54-14 in the paint.
The Wildcats also dominated the glass, outrebounding the Cowboys 55-35, ensuring second-chance opportunities and limiting Oklahoma State’s offensive flow.
Looking Ahead
Arizona’s next test comes on the road against No. 11 Kansas, a rematch of last season’s Big 12 title game.
Oklahoma State will look to rebound when they face Arizona State on Tuesday night, but their struggles on offense will need to be addressed quickly.
Why This Matters
Arizona’s unbeaten run isn’t just impressive—it’s historic. The Wildcats are playing with a level of dominance rarely seen, and their ability to stifle high-powered offenses like Oklahoma State’s sends a clear message to the rest of college basketball.
With March approaching, Arizona is positioning itself as the team to beat in the NCAA Tournament.
