Even the fanciest sports cars look a little sluggish when stuck in traffic. But once you get them out on the open road, look out.
Unfortunately for Arizona, a good part of its debut under Tommy Lloyd resembled rush hour on a Friday.
Arizona blew out NAU 81-52 on Tuesday night to open the 2021-22 season, showing spurts of explosive offense whenever it was able to get out and run. But when the Wildcats were slowed down, though, the production wasn’t nearly as good.
The UA had 21 fast-break points and 24 points off 21 NAU turnovers, but after pumping out 78 possessions in the exhibition against Eastern New Mexico that tally dropped to a not-as-nice 69 against the Lumberjacks.
