It helps Arizona and Nick Johnson’s image nationally when broadcasters like Dick Vitale are on Johnson’s side …

Game on the line I want Nick Johnson Arizona or Tyler Ennis on my side #CLUTCH @MikeWatersSYR @BrentAxeMedia @UACoachMiller

If you couldn’t get enough of Johnson’s go-ahead three-pointer against Stanford Thursday night you can listen to the “Voice of the Wildcats”, Brian Jeffries, call it again …

Or maybe you'd like fast forward to Nick's big time shot with :45 remaining. #AZVoice http://t.co/xUw41CwDlv

ESPN’s Jay Bilas wants to remind you that Johnson’s three-pointer was not the play that made Arizona 21-0 …

Some say "winning plays" without definition. Kaleb Tarczewski's offensive rebound and kick for a shot was the winning play, not the shot.

In the last weekend before the signing date, Arizona should be concerned about cornerback prospect Naijiel Hale visiting Washington this weekend despite his long-standing commitment to the Wildcats. …

Look at who you can follow on Twitter now … too bad Lute Olson does not have a Twitter handle (would love to read his random wisdom) …

Finally given in to Tweeter! Oh my God!!!!

Even Bill Walton’s co-workers at ESPN give him a little grief (although calling Nick Johnson “Nick Anderson” more than once during the UCLA-Oregon broadcast is unfortunate) …

Bill Walton effusive in his praise of Oregon State's 11-8 Craig Robinson. He did slip in that he likes what Sean Miller has done, too.

Arizona has a couple of days in between playing Stanford Thursday night and Cal on Saturday night, so the Wildcats did some sightseeing at Alcatraz on Thursday. …
