Basketball is all about exploiting mismatches. With Texas-Rio Grande Valley sporting no starters over 6-foot-6, that meant Arizona had a distinct size advantage in the frontcourt.
And boy did it make the most of that edge.
Christian Koloko and Azuolas Tubelis combined for 38 points on 13-of-16 shooting in Arizona’s 104-50 dismantling of UTRGV on Friday night at McKale Center.
Koloko had a career night, going for 18 points (on 6-of-8 shooting) and 11 rebounds for his first career double-double, tying his career high of five blocks that he set three nights earlier against NAU.
