News and notes following No. 18 Arizona's win over UT Arlington.
PJ Brown Adia Barnes always says that the final game before a break is one of the toughest to win, and it's easy to see why.With that in mind, Arizona's matchup against UT Arlington on Wednesday afternoon could have been a double whammy. The Wildcats were coming off the biggest win of their season so far, a blowout of Baylor on Sunday night. A letdown loomed.
They won't be gone long: Players will return Sunday to begin preparing for their Dec. 29 Pac-12 opener against Arizona State in McKale Center, the first game in an awaiting gauntlet. That’s a lot of games right off the bat — and a lot of games against tough opponents in a short timeframe. Their five opponents have combined to win 45 games in nonconference play. Stanford is ranked No. 2; Oregon is 16th.
In the first quarter of Wednesday's win over UTA, Arizona only gave up eight points while going on a 16-2 run over the last 7:14 of the frame. UA had four steals and a block and held UTA to 28% shooting.How good has the Wildcats' defense been?
