The Arizona Wildcats are heading for the Sweet Sixteen. Staples here we come!
Arizona (27-7) rolls over Harvard 74-51 today in Salt Lake City in a third-round NCAA game that was never in doubt, thanks to the hot-shooting and all around play of senior guard Mark Lyons.
Lyons nets 27 points on a 12 for 17 shooting performance from the field to lead the Wildcats to their second win of the tourney.
Arizona's defense wasn't bad either. In fact, the Wildcats' defense was outstanding as they held Harvard to 27 percent from the field and a dismal 27 percent from beyond the three-point line. The heralded long-range shooter for Crimson, Laurent Rivard, scored just three points in the game, making just 1 of 6 shots as Harvard made 16 of 58 from the field.
The Wildcats, on the other hand, canned 27 of 49 and made nine of 15 threes. Solomon Hill collected a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Jordin Mayes came off the bench to score eight points and dish out three assists. Eight players scored for the Wildcats and 12 players saw action as coach Sean Miller cleared the bench in the final moments of the game.
And now, it's on to the SWEET SIXTEEN!
