Arizona Basketball can’t close, lose another close game to Oregon

Agony, it’s what Arizona Basketball fans have grown accustomed to over the years. And after yesterdays’ 73-72 overtime loss to the Oregon Ducks, there’s plenty of blame to go around following the loss.

Oregon guard Payton Pritchard would have a career day, scoring 38 points on 12-27 shooting, including 6-14 from three. However, it would seemingly be the last two points scored of Shakur Juiston’s 14 that was the difference here.

Arizona would get great efforts from a number of players, especially Dylan Smith as he would finish his day with 18, but it was Arizona’s execution, or lack there of down the stretch that cost them this one.
