Arizona’s defense down the stretch enabled it to sneak out of Illinois with a win last weekend. That part of the Wildcats’ game apparently didn’t make it back on the same charter flight.
The UA played its worst defensive game of the season—for the first 30 minutes, at least—yet still managed to outscore Northern Colorado, winning 101-76 on Wednesday night at McKale Center to remain unbeaten.
Christian Koloko had 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting with 8 rebounds and 4 blocks, Kerr Kriisa had 17 with 7 assists and Azuolas Tubelis had 16 points, 8 rebounds and a career-best 8 assists.
