Canisius Golden Griffins at Arizona Wildcats
· NCAA Men's BasketballLove scores 17 and No. 10 Arizona opens season with 93-64 win over Canisius

Arizona jumped on the Golden Griffins from the start, scoring the first 13 points during an opening 20-2 run on its way to a 52-30 halftime lead. The Wildcats never let the lead get under 18 after that early burst to win their 18th straight home opener.
Arizona dominated inside, outscoring Canisius 48-12 in the paint while grabbing 18 more rebounds. KJ Lewis added 14 points for the Wildcats, who had 20 assists and nine turnovers — five before the starters came out.
The Golden Griffins needed four minutes to score their first points and had trouble with Arizona's size all night, but still shot a respectable 43% from the floor in one of college basketball's toughest road environments.
Paul McMillan IV led Canisius with 20 points.
Arizona: The Wildcats did what they're supposed to against an overmatched nonconference opponent at home and showed off the depth that has them eyeing a deep NCAA Tournament run.
Arizona hosts Old Dominion on Saturday.
