Arizona Wildcats Basketball
Arizona returns home with a 3-4 record after losing 2 of 3 in the Bahamas. The Wildcats' latest loss came today in the battle for third place at the Battle 4 Atlantis against West Virginia, as the Mountaineers prevailed in overtime, 83-76.
The team's failure to haul in critical offensive rebounds down the stretch and its inability to knock down the three-point shots (7 of 21 attempts) while committing 14 turnovers to just seven for West Virginia (5-2) added to the misery and made their three-day stay on the Island not a happy one.
A lopsided win over Davidson (104-71), a loss in the semi-final to Oklahoma (82-77), and today's tough defeat at the hands of the Mountaineers left Coach Tommy Lloyd with plenty of work ahead as he prepares his Wildcats for their next game at home, at McKale, against Southern Utah on Dec. 7.
Today, Caleb Love scored 24 points, and Trey Townsend was a force around the bucket with 19, but Tucker DeVries hit eight 3-pointers and scored 26 to lead West Virginia.
