Arizona basketball concerned about facing zone defenses after Oregon loss

Sean Miller has expressed approval with the way Arizona has handled zone defenses most of this season, moving the ball around more and more carefully shooting 3-pointers, but not Thursday.

Not at all.

The Wildcats shot just 36.5 percent over the course of the game and made just 2 of 11 3-pointers in the first half Thursday in their 59-54 loss to Oregon. They did hit 4 of 11 from 3 in the second half, but Miller was particularly disappointed in the way he said they lost patience in the first half, throwing up shots he didn’t want them to take.
