As far as first impressions go, they don’t get better than this.
Zeke Nnaji dropped 20 points in 20 minutes, on a super efficient 9-of-12 shooting, against NAU, the most a freshman has scored in a season-opener for the Arizona Wildcats in the Sean Miller era.
“I’m not trying to force anything, just trying to play within the offense,” Nnaji said. “Tonight just happened to be my night.”
That a freshman posted such gaudy numbers in 2019-20 is not much of a surprise. Arizona’s recruiting class was ranked No. 6 for a reason.
