Arizona avoids disaster, beats UC Davis in non-conference finale

The Arizona Wildcats had a big lead early, squandered it away, then narrowly avoided disaster, needing all 40 minutes to outlast UC Davis 70-68 on Saturday to wrap up non-conference play.

After leading by as many as 15, Arizona trailed 68-67 with a minute left when Justin Coleman sank a deep 3 for the game’s final points.

UC Davis had two chances to tie or take the lead, but both opportunities were fruitless. A potential game-winning 3 from Rogers Printup fell short at the buzzer after a strong contest by Brandon Williams.
