BOISE — The Arizona Wildcats knew the Buffalo Bulls were going to push the pace. They knew they were going to shoot 3s. They knew they were going to play small.
It didn’t matter.
Buffalo’s hellacious offense still got what it wanted, and now Arizona is on the first flight back to Tucson as a one-and-done in NCAA Tournament.
The No. 13 seeded Bulls shot 55 percent and 50 percent from 3, as they routed the No. 4 seeded Wildcats 89-68 in the first round.
After 12 lead changes in the first half, the Bulls commanded the second half, outscoring the Wildcats by 19.
