Tiger Woods suffered serious injuries in a car crash in California on Tuesday, with details continuing to emerge about the incident.

The Arizona Wildcats men's basketball team defeated the Washington State Cougars Thursday, Feb. 25 in going-away fashion, with a final score of 69-53. The game was closer than the final score as WSU either led or were level with the Wildcats for a majority of the first 20 minutes of play before Arizona closed the half on an 8-2 run to take a 28-24 halftime lead and never looked back from there. It was a sloppy basketball game from an offensive standpoint as the two teams combined for 25 turnovers, 28% (11-39) from three and 63% (19-30) from the free-throw line. To go along with its minimal 12 turnovers, Arizona was able to match that with a team total of 15 assists, almost doubling WSU’s total. Arizona head coach Sean Miller and his team looked to have found a defensive identity in this game as the Wildcats were able to keep the Cougars at an alarming 31% (20-63) from the field.
