With its first true road game of the season set for a pre-noon tip, the Arizona Wildcats didn’t have time to go through a morning shootaround before taking on the Baylor Bears.
It showed.
Arizona shot 26.9 percent, the worst percentage of the Sean Miller era, and made only 2 of 18 3-pointers, contributing to an early hole it could never climb out of in losing 63-58 Saturday to 18th-ranked Baylor in Waco, Texas.
The 12th-ranked Wildcats (9-1) trailed by double digits less than 10 minutes into the game, making Miller’s warning earlier in the week that Baylor (7-1) would “blow us out of the arena” if his team wasn’t ready.
