Arizona Wildcats Basketball

NCAA Basketball Tourney


T.J. McConnell scored 19 points, grabbed six rebounds, dished out six assists and came away with five steals to lead the Arizona Wildcats to a 73-58 win over Ohio State in the third round of the NCAA Tournament today in Portland, Oregon.

The Wildcats (33-3) move on to the Sweet 16 and will take on Xavier on Thursday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Arizona shook off a cold shooting first half with the help of Gabe York off the bench. York poured in five 3-pointers and finished with 19 points, while Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, despite a 3 for 12 performance from the field, ended up with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Arizona out rebounded the Buckeyes, 43-26.

Way to go, Wildcats!
