That was a little too close for comfort.
The Arizona Wildcats overcame a slow start to beat Chico State 78-70 on Sunday afternoon in McKale Center.
Corey Silverstrom sank a 3-pointer with 9:43 left in the first half to put the Chico State Wildcats up 29-17, as Arizona struggled defensively to begin the game, leaving shooters open and being unable to finish off possessions with rebounds.
However, Arizona closed the half on an 18-11 run to make it a 40-37 Chico State lead at halftime.
Arizona then got off to quick start in the second half, starting on a 16-4 run, but Chico State kept things close, making it a 58-57 Arizona lead with roughly nine minutes left after a deep 3-pointer by Silverstrom.
