Arizona Wildcats Basketball
There was a little jetlag at the start, but a 62-point second half, with most of the points coming from players off the bench, resulted in a 97-59 win for #3 Arizona over Southern University tonight at McKale.
The long flight home from Durham, North Carolina, may have had something to do with the Wildcats' performance in the first half as they broke for the locker room at the half with a lackluster 35-23 lead.
By the midway point of the second half, Arizona had turned the game into a runaway affair, and Coach Tommy Lloyd began to pull his starters. In the end, the starting five were responsible for 57 points, while the reserves cashed in on the rest of the playing time and the remainder of the scoring.
Keshad Johnson, who scored 14 points in the first half, finished with 17 points, while Pelle Larsson chipped in 11, Oumar Ballo 10, Kaylan Boswell 10, and Caleb Love added nine.
Montiejus Krivas and KJ Lewis led the players off the bench with 12 points apiece. Paulius Murauskas collected a season-high 10 rebounds.
Arizona, now ranked No. 3 in the AP College Basketball Poll, improved to 3-0, while Southern dropped to 1-2.
