Following Thursday’s much-closer-than-it-should-have-been win over South Dakota State, Arizona Wildcats coach Sean Miller began his press conference with a four-minute rant in which he aired a number of grievances, including:
- Taking poor, quick shots, particularly from 3-point range
- Not getting to the foul line enough in the first half
Based on Sunday night’s performance against Long Beach State, his players got the message.
Arizona shot 50 percent from three, Nnaji had 11 of his 21 points in the first half and the Wildcats took 16 free throws before halftime en route to a 104-67 route of the Beach on Sunday night at McKale Center.
