Notebook: On Justin Coleman’s big night, Arizona’s ‘heart’, veteran leadership, Gonzaga and more

The Arizona Wildcats came back to beat the Iowa State Cyclones 71-66 in the first round of the Maui Invitational on Monday.

Our full recap can be found here, and here some additional notes.

Arizona doesn’t win this game without Justin Coleman’s second-half heroics. The fifth-year senior scored 15 of his 18 points in the final 20 minutes, and nine of those points in the last five minutes.

Coleman hit a scoop layup to tie the game at 56, a fallaway jumper to tie it again at 60 and then a deep 3 to put the Wildcats up by three with 1:49 left.
