For the Arizona Wildcats to do anything this season, their three superstar freshmen are going to be at the forefront of that charge.
That was on full display Sunday night, as the trio of guards Nico Mannion and Josh Green and forward Zeke Nnaji combined for 62 points in Arizona’s 90-69 win over Illinois at McKale Center.
Mannion scored 23 points (on 9-of-15 shooting) with eight assists, Green had 20 points including four three-pointers and Nnaji scored 19 to follow up his 20-point performance in season opener against NAU.
