Coach Tommy Lloyd knows what the Wildcats are getting into.
Bruce Pascoe Like many basketball coaches, Arizona’s Tommy Lloyd prefers to watch upcoming opponents only after their games are played, so he can zip back and forth on recordings to zero in on what he really needs to see.But Wednesday, with a full week open before the Wildcats face Indiana in Las Vegas on Saturday, Lloyd had a chance to watch the Hoosiers face Nebraska live on the Big Ten Network.
Or that Indiana is a pretty good defensive team, keeping the Cornhuskers to just 6-of-23 shooting, a performance that could signal a challenge for an Arizona team that has shot 16.7% from 3-point range in its last two games. The Hoosiers lost seven of their final nine regular-season games last season under new coach Mike Woodson, but parlayed a Big Ten Tournament semifinal appearance into a No. 12 NCAA Tournament seed.
Academic finish lineThe long week between games is also giving the Wildcats a chance to finish up fall semester work, with practices either becoming a diversion or a distraction, depending on the viewpoint. Payoff for returningProjected as a second-round or undrafted player in the 2022 NBA Draft, Jackson-Davis appeared to have his stay-or-go decision made easier when a positive COVID-19 test kept him out of the NBA Combine last spring.
