Arizona at home is a measuring stick game.  Arizona is among the best teams in the conference year in and year out.  But Stanford still is not competitive with them. 

Dawkins beat the Wildcats at Maples in 2009 and not since.  His overall record vs Arizona is 1-12.  Stanford clearly has an Arizona problem right now.

The Arizona game always makes me a little sad. When I was a student the Arizona game was a red-letter event. It wasn't like the late '90s and early aughts when kids were actually camping out, but it was still an event. We still had to wait in line, just not over night. The thrill of standing courtside during those games was incredible, and I wouldn't have missed them for anything. Junior year I endured a hundred-degree fever. It was Arizona.

Now? I had no idea we were playing Arizona until my Twitter feed told me, and even then I was only marginally interested in the score. As I said, it makes me sad.

With all due respect, since I admire your writing, perhaps you might want to follow Stanford Basketball on facebook at the very least since they always post upcoming games. The Pac12 Network had been touting this match-up since the Cal game last week. And it was actually competitive for 30 minutes. Made this fan believe in the possibilities. Like ahuang06 said, Sheffield is pretty special, and Sharma will be too. Take a gander when you can! 8)
