The former voice of Arizona men’s basketball and football, Dave Sitton, passed away unexpectedly last August. A UA alumnus, he played baseball and rugby. At age 22, he became the UA’s rugby coach and led the team for nearly 40 years. Sitton was also inducted into the Pima County Sports Hall of Fame. Brian Valencia/The Daily Wildcat

Former Wildcat safety Patrick Onwuasor, who played for Arizona in 2012, was charged with four felonies last summer. Onwuasor was kicked off the UA football team and landed at Portland State in 2013.
Former Arizona football safety Patrick Onwuasor, also known as Peanut, was arrested on four felony charges last summer. The hard-hitting Onwuasor was allegedly in possession of marijuana for sale, a narcotic drug for sale, narcotics paraphernalia and a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony drug offense. Onwuasor was dismissed from the UA but is currently listed on Portland State’s football roster.

The 2013 Doak Walker Award voters screwed up big time when they picked Boston College senior running back Andre Williams over Arizona’s Ka’Deem Carey for the nation’s top running back. Williams, who played in one more game than Carey, finished this past season with more rushing yards and more Heisman votes. However, on the field, Carey and the Wildcats outshone Williams and his Golden Eagles. Arizona beat Williams and Boston College in the 2013 AdvoCare V100 Bowl 42-19, and Carey ran for 169 yards on 27 carries while Williams ran for 75 yards on 26 rushes in the heavily hyped battle of the backs.

Ka’Deem Carey ran for 169 yards in the AdvoCare V100 Bowl, his last game as a Wildcat. Carey out-rushed Doak Walker Award winner Andre Williams 169-75 in Arizona’s 4219 win over Boston College in the bowl.
While ASU men’s basketball beat Arizona on Valentine’s Day and avenged a 91-68 loss in Tucson, it did so in an embarrassing fashion. A few days before the rivalry game, members of the Oregon basketball program accused an ASU fan of spitting on them. The incident made national news, and some UA fans even wore ponchos to ASU’s arena. The infamy didn’t encourage ASU fans to behave, though, as they threw a big head cutout at the Wildcats, made fun of the injured Brandon Ashley, stormed the court before the game ended and chanted “fuck U of A” en masse on the court after they upset Arizona 69-66 in two overtimes.

ASU’s men’s basketball’s student section is called “The 942 Crew” because that’s the number of students in it, but on Feb. 14, the crew was reduced to 941 after one student was ejected for allegedly throwing an object at the Wildcats.
