The Arizona Wildcats wrapped up the regular season Saturday by stomping Stanford 94-62 at McKale Center. Gabe York scored a career high 32 points, nailing nine three-pointers.
"You know, it's been a long journey, so the fact that it got to end like this, I couldn't ask for anything better.," said, York. "Something that kids dream about. For me, going through freshman year and sticking it out. It couldn't have been any better."
Arizona made eighteen three-pointers, a school record. It was the final McKale Center game for York, Kaleb Tarczewski, Ryan Anderson, Mark Tollefesen, and walk-on Jacob Hazzard, who contributed nine points late in the game.
"I don't think I could have drawn up a better way for me to go out," said senior Ryan Anderson. "I thought our team played well. My journey to end up here at McKale Center in front of fifteen thousand people. To see one of my best friends hit nine 3's. To blow out a really good team. It's just awesome to have my journey end like this."
"We didn't cut down the nets today but in some ways this group, the qualities that they've embodied, the resiliency and character they possess stems from this group of seniors." said head coach Sean Miller.
Arizona (24-7, 12-6 Pac-12) has locked up at least the No. 4 seed in the Pac-12 tournament and will play Thursday in Las Vegas against the winner of either Colorado or Washington State.
The Wildcats are a lock to appear in their fourth straight NCAA Tournament.
