Impact Dell'Orso struggled during Arizona's Big 12 championship win but that doesn't diminish the role he played in getting the team into that game.

Dell'Orso has topped 20 three times in his last nine games despite coming off the bench in each. He's yet another weapon who's capable of taking over any game for the second-ranked Wildcats and will look to provide a spark as they attempt to raise their first national championship banner since 1997.
