Jamie <\/strong>Dixon to call his own timeout.<\/p>\nArizona extended it back out to 20 but then made only one basket over the next four minutes and the Horned Frogs cut it to 59-47. TCU then got within 10 with just over nine minutes left.<\/p>\n
Bradleypicked up his fourth foul with 8:20 to go, and a 3 byToolson got TCU within 65-58 with 6:56 remaining. But then Dell\u2019Orso canned a 3 and Peat hit a turnaround jumper to key a 7-0 run.<\/p>\n
The margin remained at least 11 the rest of the way, and when Bradley came back in with 4:19 remaining he scored six in a row and 10 of 14 to help close it out.<\/p>\n
Arizona\u2019s first 11 shots were inside the arc, and its aggressiveness to the basket led to four early fouls on TCU guards, including starter Jayden Pierre<\/strong>. The Horned Frogs had to loosen up, which let the UA go on an 11-2 run to lead 19-8.<\/p>\nThat run included a 3 by Brayden Burries<\/strong> with 13:11 left in the first half. Arizona didn\u2019t hit its first 3 against Kansas State until the 11:32 mark of the second half.<\/p>\nA 3 byDell\u2019Orso from the TCU logo late in the shot clock was part of a 7-0 run for a 26-9 lead, and the Wildcats were up 20 before the under-8 media timeout. But it was shortly before that when Awaka appeared to get injured diving on the floor for a loose ball that resulted in a tie-up and the UA retaining possession.<\/p>\n
Awaka limped off the floor, was looked at on (and behind) the bench by trainer Justin Kokoskie <\/strong>and then taken to the locker room. He returned to the bench a few minutes later and re-entered with 4:17 left in the first half.<\/p>\nThe lead got up to 21 before Arizona went more than four minutes without scoring. TCU went on an 11-2 run to get within 39-27 before the Wildcats scored the final four points of the first half.<\/p>\n
The UA returns home Wednesday to host ASU. The Sun Devils (10-6, 1-2) snapped a 4-game skid by beating Kansas State on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s no such thing as an ugly conference road win where you lead by double digits for more…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":508853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,76891,7371,7372,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-508852","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-arizona-basketball","10":"tag-fort-worth","11":"tag-fortworth","12":"tag-texas","13":"tag-tx","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-united-states-of-america","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115877369842079584","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
