With all of the high praise surrounding Arizona's returning stars, its stellar freshman class, and Final Four aspirations, let it be known the hype is real. At the very least, it was an incredible first impression on Sunday to start its three-game tour in Spain.

Freshman guard Brandon Randolph caught fire for 21 points in his debut, while Allonzo Trier poured in 16. Dylan Smith had 14, and Rawle Alkins and Deandre Ayton each added 10 each as the Wildcats dismantled Combinado Valenciano 113-44 in Valencia.

From hot shooting to suffocating defense, Arizona didn't need to knock off any sort of rust. It was a commanding performance from the tip, one that stretched the lead to 70 points late and showed why this squad is at the top of the preseason rankings for the 2017-18 season.

Dusan Ristic also added 14 rebounds for the Wildcats.
