LAS VEGAS — The door swung open to Dressing Room 7 at T-Mobile Arena Thursday afternoon, and Arizona’s national title hopes came out in a wheelchair.
Point guard Kerr Kriisa, the engine of the 29–3 Wildcats’ fast and furious offense, was the passenger. He was being pushed by student manager Anderson Mort. Kriisa’s right foot was encased in a black boot and covered with a Gatorade towel. The 21-year-old Estonian was still wearing his No. 25 white uniform and white headband.
Kriisa appeared to be FaceTiming with someone as Mort navigated the hallways out of the arena.
