Arizona didn’t have Kerr Kriisa, and it showed. But the Wildcats did have Azuolas Tubelis, and that was just as evident as Kriisa’s absence.
Tubelis scored a career-high 32 points as shorthanded Arizona overcame another poor first half and used a 21-0 run in the second half to beat Utah 82-64 on Saturday evening at McKale Center.
The 6-foot-11 sophomore was 14 of 24 from the field, the 24 attempts the most by a UA player in at least 13 seasons, and added eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block.
