GAME NOTES: The Arizona Wildcats begin a three-game homestand tonight by hosting the Oregon Ducks in a Pac-10 matchup at the McKale Center.

Arizona is now 6-5 in the Pac-10, leaving it in a five-way tie for second place.

The Ducks are also coming off a poor performance, as they were handled by rival Oregon State, 62-42, on Saturday. The loss ended a short two-game win streak and dropped Oregon to 12-10 overall and just 4-6 within the conference.

As for the all-time series, Arizona leads Oregon by a 42-23 count and that includes a 74-60 victory in the first meeting of the season.

The Ducks shot a horrific 29.8 percent from the floor, including a dismal 2- of-17 showing from long range, as they were trounced by Oregon State on Saturday.

Michael Dunigan, who grabs 5.5 rpg, rounds out the double-digit scorers with 10.4 ppg.

The Wildcats were outscored at the foul line, 23-10, and outrebounded, 36-24, as they were defeated at Washington State this past weekend. Defense was also an issues for Arizona, which allowed the Cougars to shoot an efficient 51.0 percent from the field.

On the season, Wise leads Arizona in scoring at 15.5 ppg and he is also dishing off a team-high 3.5 apg and shooting 39.0 percent from three-point distance.
