Tommy Lloyd: Kerr Kriisa playing in NCAA Tournament ‘a real possibility’

Arizona showed on Friday night it can do just fine without Kerr Kriisa, but having its emotional leader be more than just a cheerleader for the NCAA Tournament would be even better.

Coach Tommy Lloyd said Kriisa, who suffered a sprained right ankle in the final minute of Thursday’s Pac-12 quarterfinal win over Stanford, could be back for the NCAA tourney.

“I don’t think the severity of it is ... I think him playing next week is a real, a real possibility” Lloyd said after the UA beat Colorado 82-72 in the semifinals.
