Eighth-ranked Wildcats boast one of the nation’s elite frontcourts thanks to Azuolas Tubelis and Oumar Ballo.
“Yeah, I would anticipate that happening,” Smith said Tuesday morning during his weekly press conference. “I would definitely anticipate that happening. Their frontline is elite in every way, shape, and form. Tubelis is tremendous, he has been over the last year and a half. Ballo is incredible and much improved. They play very, very well off of each other.Smith’s third big guy is 6-foot-9 Ben Carlson, who is a safe bet to start for the 27th time Thursday night at the McKale Center.
