PULLMAN, Wash. — Since the day Phoenix point guard phenom Nico Mannion committed to Arizona in September 2018 and began lining up some help to come with him, there was little doubt who would be leading the revamped Wildcats this season.
Mannion. Good buddy Josh Green. And, especially after he emerged in preseason practices, Zeke Nnaji.
Nico-Josh-Zeke. The only true freshman trio in the nation that has become the top three scorers on their team.
But when the Wildcats finally cleared the road-game hurdle over the weekend and then converted it to the Pac-12’s first road sweep of the season, guess who was standing in front?
