Only twice this season has the most efficient offense in Division I been held under 42% shooting from the field.
The first time didn’t work out so well for Arizona. On Nov. 30 in Salt Lake City, the Wildcats — who lead the nation with 119.7 points scored per 100 possessions — shot just 35.2% and scored just 66 points in a 15-point loss to Utah.
People are also reading… While still adjusting to life without shot-swatting center Christian Koloko, the Wildcats have a defense that is still notably behind its offense in efficiency rankings. While Koloko led the Pac-12 in blocked shots and changed countless others, the Wildcats’ perimeter defenders were freer to extend defensively and take chances.
Especially because the Wildcats run an extraordinarily fast tempo, that pace-independent measure is much more telling of their defense than the raw"scoring defense" number of 72.3 points – which is actually last in the Pac-12. "They made us take some tough 3s but I feel like we got a lot of good shots," Collins said."We just didn’t make them."
