When the subject of potentially changing his lineup came up recently during the Arizona Wildcats’ rough start to 2023, coach Tommy Lloyd said he wasn’t thinking of “anything crazy.” As it turned out …
Having averaged just 2.8 points over Arizona’s previous four games, Henderson had 11 points and seven rebounds. And Larsson, the Pac-12’s Sixth Man of the Year last season, had 15 points, three rebounds and three assists… while the rest of the Wildcats pretty much reverted to their efficiently offensive ways.
Forward Azuolas Tubelis had 15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds, the most by a UA player since Zeke Nnaji had 17 against Gonzaga in 2019-20, while Oumar Ballo had 12 points and seven rebounds. In the backcourt, Courtney Ramey tied his season high of five 3-pointers and scored 16 points. The win moved Arizona to 16-3 overall and 5-3 in the Pac-12, heading into a noon showdown with first-place UCLA on Saturday at McKale Center. The Trojans dropped to 13-6 overall and 5-3.
Early in the second half, Henderson hit back-to-back 3s early to give UA a 47-32 lead and the Wildcats were never seriously challenged after that.
