The Wildcats produced two balanced, efficient performances against LBSU and Dayton in Salt Lake City.
The double-digit wins over Long Beach State and Dayton would have been plenty sufficient, for survival is paramount. But the Wildcats also caught a break with Clemson’s victory over Baylor, which created a more favorable matchup in the Sweet 16, and with the nature of their own performances.
Six different players scored in double figures for Arizona, establishing a broad base of confidence for later rounds. Whether the cause is foul trouble or injuries or matchups or an unusual bounce, circumstances could put the Wildcats’ fate in the hands of any player on the court at a given time.All five starters scored in double figures against Long Beach State, with Kylan Boswell’s career high 20 points leading the way.
Two days later, Caleb Love took the lead with 19 points against Dayton and was joined in the double-digit realm by three other players, including reserve Jaden Bradley.All in all, Arizona shot 46.4 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from 3-point range in the two victories, with 36 assists and 24 turnovers — impressive numbers given the tournament pressure, neutral crowds and unfamiliar shooting backgrounds.
