Five keys for No. 4 Arizona as it prepares to face Cal, which is far and away the worst team in the Pac-12 this season.
Bruce Pascoe As the Arizona assistant coach assigned to scout Cal this season, Steve Robinson has a pretty tough task this week.
They are without both their leading scorer last season, Jalen Celestine, and their leading scorer this season, Devin Askew. The one guy left on the roster who can fill up the bucket, 25-year-old DeJuan Clayton, is questionable after missing last weekend with an unspecified illness. Arizona typically draws a low four-figure crowd at Cal and Stanford during almost any season, thanks to a large alumni base in the Bay Area that takes advantage of an easy opportunity to watch the Wildcats and gleefully chant “U of A” over and over. A small group of Tucson-based fans usually travels too, with the chance to play tourist between games.
But if the Wildcats do get a comfortable lead at Cal, Lloyd might be able to give double-digit minutes to guys like Adama Bal, Henri Veesaar, Dylan Anderson and Filip Borovicanin. Maybe he’ll even be able to see how they do when they’re actually tired from playing so much. “You can't allow him to get deep postups and get a lot of touches because he is effective with his jump hook and his ability to shoot the ball facing up at the basket,” Robinson said. “He was really, really productive in that game. He probably enjoyed the matchup of playing against other big guys because he can bang and push and make things happen that way.”
