SALT LAKE CITY –As Arizona’s starting five took the court to open the second half on Saturday against Utah, Ryan Anderson was missing from the group.
Anderson and the No. 9 Wildcats had just participated in another first half that fell well short of head coach Sean Miller’s defensive standards, so Miller benched the senior.
In his place stood freshman Chance Comanche.
Miller got his message across – Arizona played better defense following intermission – but the Wildcats once again came up short on the road, falling to Utah 70-64.
