Coffee is for closers, but what about Wildcats?
Arizona’s heartbreaking last-second loss to ASU on Saturday ended on a buzzer beater, but the foundation of that setback was laid in the time leading up to that final play, as the Wildcats blew a 10-point lead with 6:30 remaining.
“That’s closing time,” UA coach Tommy Lloyd said Tuesday. “Under that 6-minute mark, we had a couple of questionable shots and a couple of regretful turnovers and those things happen, so we got to try to fix those.”
That’s the largest lead the UA has squandered under Lloyd in a loss, topping the 9-point advantage it had during the loss two weeks ago at Stanford.
