Hoops Notebook: Wildcats sweep Washington schools on road

Wildcats overcome opening war losses

Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller likes to divides every 40-minute game into approximately 10 four-minute "wars."

The Wildcats lost the two opening wars Saturday – the time between the start of the half and the first media timeout – by a margin of 22-4.

The Huskies jumped out to a 14-7 lead to start the game. In the opening minutes of the second half, Washington turned a six-point UA advantage into a 51-45 Washington lead.
