Arizona sent packing early in NCAA Tournament

Coming into the NCAA Tournament, the Arizona Wildcats were averaging 81 points per game as a high powered offensive machine.

Tonight, the Wichita State Shockers are slowing that machine down.

The Shockers lead the Wildcats 31-19 at half. Fred VanVleet leads the game in scoring with 10 and Ron Baker has seven. Wichita State is shooting 41 percent from the field but only 14 percent from three.

Tough defense has forced the Wildcats into one of their roughest starts of the season. Arizona is shooting 27 percent and has committed 10 turnovers. Allonzo Trier leads the Wildcats in scoring with seven.
