The Arizona Wildcats struggled against the Gonzaga Bulldogs, understandably so given the Cats only had seven scholarship players available.
Gonzaga was able to take advantage of Arizona’s lack of interior defense, as Przemek Karnowski went right at Dusan Ristic and Chance Comanche throughout the day, leading all scorers with 18.
But on the Arizona side, one player stood out above the rest, and that was Rawle Alkins.
The freshman put up a team-high 16 points, and also chipped in seven rebounds.
“I don’t know where we would be without both of them,” Sean Miller said afterwards about Alkins and Lauri Markkanen.
