From an Arizona perspective, the loss is the program’s first under head coach Tommy Lloyd in the month of November, now in his fourth year with the program. It is a significant blow to the team’s sky-high expectations entering the season after a Sweet 16 run in 2023-24.

Wisconsin’s biggest weakness against Arizona was its rebounding. The Wildcats out-rebounded the Badgers 52-28, including 24 offensive rebounds. That stat was the one thing keeping the game competitive as Wisconsin dominated on the offensive end. This stat will be one to watch when the Badgers enter Big Ten play.
