LAS VEGAS — A similar theme arose as the No. 4-seed Arizona Wildcats received a late game scare against the No. 5-seed Colorado Buffaloes on Thursday afternoon at the Pac-12 Tournament.
Yes, the Wildcats prevailed 82-78 and knocked off a team that recently beat them. Usually, that would sound like a confidence booster in postseason play. But in this case, it wasn’t.
Instead, Arizona succumbed to another tale of two halves in which it couldn’t string together enough consistent basketball to win in the manner it could, or should, have.
A somber tone overtook the Wildcats’ locker room following the win, reflecting head coach Sean Miller’s post-game thoughts.
