Arizona game notes

• Arizona dropped its second consecutive non-conference game in the 60-66 loss to SMU on Thanksgiving Day. It’s the first time UA has dropped back-to-back games before conference play since the 2011-12 season.
• Arizona will wrap up the 2017 Battle 4 Atlantis by taking on No. 18/16 Purdue. The Wildcats have seven of their last eight non-conference games versus nationally-ranked opponents in the regular season.
• Freshman Deandre Ayton finished Thursday’s game with 17 points and 15 rebounds to secure his fifth consecutive double-double of his young career. He is the first Arizona freshman in program history to tally five straight double-doubles. Ayton also became the first Wildcat, of any kind, to record five consecutive double-doubles since Ryan Anderson in the 2015-16 season.
• With 22 points against SMU, Allonzo Trier has now scored 20 or more points in each of the Wildcats’ first five games of the season. Trier became the first Wildcat to open a season with five consecutive games of 20 or more points since Chase Budinger in 2008-09.
• Arizona and Purdue’s last regular season meetings came in non-conference play in back-to-back seasons. The two programs met in the 2000 Wooden Tradition in Indianapolis before squaring off in the 2001 John R. Wooden Classic. Five of the 11 meetings between the Wildcats and Boilermakers have come at neutral sites in non-conference play
