Limiting turnovers, attacking the zone, and getting bench points from the freshmen was Arizona’s recipe for success against South Dakota in the third-place game at the Battle4Atlantis in Nassau, Bahamas Monday afternoon. The Wildcats used strong games by freshmen Jada Williams and Skylar Jones to defeat the Coyotes 61-52 and finish 2-1 in the pre-Thanksgiving tournament.
“I’m proud of the way our team responded today,” said Arizona head coach Adia Barnes. “Yesterday was a tough loss. We played a lot of games...this is the sixth game in 11 days. So I didn’t know what to expect from this team today.
