Thursday night’s game against Washington State, for 30 minutes, was closer than expected. It wasn’t until late in the game when Arizona finally put distance between them and Wazzu, winning 79-62.
Allonzo Trier came in off the bench, as he did against UCLA, leading all Wildcats scorers with 17 points and seven assists. It was his first game of the season playing in front of McKale. He scored his first points in McKale with an NBA-range three.
Trier was a bit rocky in the first half, taking a couple of bad shots, including one from near half-court.
