Rondae Hollis-Jefferson went to the locker room with more than 7 minutes remaining favoring his shoulder. He returned a few minutes later grinning on the bench.
Miller on Rondae H-J injury on @SportsRadio1290 said he is OK and mentions that #ArizonaWildcats got through game "pretty much scot-free"

Thanks for the concern everyone, but I'm good !!!! #AppreciateIt

Nick Johnson is not asking for too much.
Dear @pac12 This is what I need @iPass4Zona = POY @UACoachMiller = COY @_5Gauge = ROY @RondaeHJ23 = DPOY Sincerely, Nick

T.J. McConnell was nearly flawless to start his last weekend as an Arizona player at McKale.
T.J. McConnell: 8 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, ZERO turnovers. Night is (apparently) over.

One national college basketball analyst believes McConnell should be a first-team All-American.

Arizona also won its second consecutive regular-season title and 14th overall.
#ArizonaWildcats earn outright #Pac12 regular-season championship w/impressive 99-60 win over Cal. 37th straight win at McKale Center.
— Javier Morales (@JavierJMorales) March 6, 2015
Arizona close to matching the pace of last year’s team that was ranked No. 1 for eight consecutive weeks.
#ArizonaWildcats 27-3. Last year's team 28-2 at 30 games. If UA beats Stanford on Sat, it will match last year's record going into P12 Tourn

@JavierJMorales And yet they're probably still looking at a 2 seed.

Who could have predicted fans chanting “MVP” for T.J. McConnell and not Stanley Johnson or Rondae Hollis-Jefferson at the outset of the season?
Mvp chants start coming for mcconnell …got good for a second there

McConnell's 11th assist ties a career-high, matching total vs. District of Columbia with Duquesne in 2012 #ArizonaWildcats

That’s efficiency …
Easily overlooked tonight: Cats' pace led to 67 field goal attempts, 32 foul shots. And they only turned it over six times. #BearDown
— Blair Willis (@BlairWillisUA) March 6, 2015
This shows Arizona’s depth and numerous ways the Wildcats can beat a team.
Brandon Ashley w/21 pts ties career high. Only sixth time in 30 games this season an #ArizonaWildcats player has eclipsed 20 points. #unreal
— Javier Morales (@JavierJMorales) March 6, 2015
Arizona’s reserves outscored Cal’s bench 34-16. The Wildcats are 21-0 when their bench outscores the opponent’s reserves, 5-3 otherwise.
Miller to @catspbp after game commented on #ArizonaWildcats' reserves: "The bench and depth will be paramount for our success in March"

Enough for all of us to have a slice a cake
— Parker Cartwright (@PGUPark3) March 6, 2015
It’s rare that the ESPN commentators agree on anything. …
Walton: "If Ashley and Tarczewski continue to play like this, Arizona will be in the Final Four." Dave Pasch agreed w/the big fella.
