Arizona gets a Bay Area sweep

Arizona Wildcats Basketball


The Arizona Wildcats get a Bay Area sweep despite another poor performance from the field as they lead wire to wire tonight at Stanford and beat the Cardinal, 69-60.

Zeke Nnaji led the Wildcats with another double-double. Nnaji scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as Arizona improved to 18-7 and 8-4 in the Pac-12 Conference.

Arizona went 20 of 54 (37.0 percent) from the field and made just 3 of 21 (14.3 percent) from beyond the arc, while committing 25 fouls. Nico Mannion spent some key minutes on the bench in the second half with four fouls, but Jemarl Baker Jr. took over for Mannion and finished the game with four points, three rebounds and one assist.

Josh Green also scored in double figures with 15 points and Dylan Smith, who made two key three-pointers in the game, finished with 11 points.
