The Tommy Lloyd era got off to a successful start on Tuesday, with the Arizona Wildcats easily beating NAU 81-52 at McKale Center.
It was far from a perfect game, and Lloyd planned on briefly mentioning that to his team when he got back to the locker room. But his players had other ideas.
“It literally caught me off guard,” Lloyd said. “I was going to go in there, congratulate the guys, tell them we got some work to do. I’ve been in a lot of locker room celebrations, I’ve been fortunate, but I’ve always been a guy that’s been a little more behind the scenes.
