BERKELEY, Calif. — Without their usual abundance of elite-level scorers, defenders and rebounders, maybe it all comes down to turnovers for the Arizona Wildcats this season.
At least that’s what some evidence suggested over during the Wildcats’ sweep through the Bay Area over the past week.
At Stanford on Wednesday, the Wildcats allowed the Cardinal to shoot 54 percent and outrebound them 54-51, yet took 13 more shots in part because they had only 10 turnovers. Every possession was critical, and the Wildcats won by two of them, 75-70.
On Saturday at Cal, the UA turned the ball over seven times in eight minutes of the first half, during which the worst team in the Pac-12 crept within one point.
