#1 Arizona rolls over Bethune-Cookman despite no elbow room for Mo Krivas

 Arizona Wildcats Basketball


The game plan for the opposing team in this one: throw some bodies around or near Arizona's 7-feet-2 Mo Krivas. The referees may whistle some fouls on the Wildcats' giant... and mix in a couple of fragrant fouls due to lack of elbow room, getting Krivas out of the game.

It did work once and maybe twice -- one of the fouls was called a fragrant, the other a common foul, limiting Moe's time on the court tonight at McKale.

In the end, #1 Arizona rolled to an easy 107-71 win over Bethune-Cookman, improving to 12-0. Krivas spent more time on the bench than on the court, with three fouls and 14 points in 18 minutes of work. 

With Krivas resting comfortably, six of his teammates scored in double figures as Brayden Burries led the way with 20 points, hitting 6 of 10 field goal attempts and 3 of 4 from long range. Ivan Kharchenkov added 14 points and five steals, while Dwayne Aristode and Tobe Awaka each had 12. Jaden Bradley and Koa Peat chipped in 11 points apiece.

Arizona led at the half, 49-35, and turned it on in the second half, outscoring Bethune-Cookman, 58-36.
