Arizona rolls by Oral Roberts


The fourth-ranked Arizona Wildcats rolled by Oral Roberts at McKale Center tonight. The Wildcats came out firing on all cylinders, getting raining three-pointers from Mark Lyons, Nick Johnson and Grant Jerrett en route to a 89-64 win over the Golden Eagles.  Lyons hit 3 of 5 from beyond the arc, Jerrett 3 of 3 and Johnson nailed 2 of 4 as Arizona finished with 8 of 16 three-pointers. Five players landed in double figures with Lyons leading the way with 17, while Jerrett finished with 15 and Brandon Ashley chipped in 14. Solomon Hill and Johnson completed the double-figure scoring with 12 points apiece.

The Wildcats led at the half 45-31 and showed no signs of a letup after their big win on Saturday over Florida. Coach Sean Miller sent ten players to the court in the second half and rested the starters. All ten players scored, including an eight-point effort from the big fella, Kaleb Tarczewski, who fouled out for the second time in as many games.
