Azuolas Tubelis ran into early foul trouble for the second straight game Thursday, but this time the Arizona Wildcats had more than enough to bail him out.
All 11 of Tubelis’ points came in the second half, after he literally kicked himself into early foul trouble. Tubelis, who was limited to just four points because of foul trouble in Arizona’s 88-79 loss at Stanford last Saturday, picked up two early fouls Thursday – including a technical for kicking the ball -- and played just five minutes without scoring in the first half.
Utah cut Arizona’s lead to 68-56 when Wilguens Exacte scored in the lane with 9:06 left but the Utes pulled no closer the rest of the way while Arizona held them to just 40% shooting in the second half.But the Wildcats managed to shoot 58.1% from the field, getting two 3s each from Courtney Ramey and Kerr Kriisa, while holding Utah to just 30.0%. Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd also turned to freshman Henri Veesaar with Tubelis out instead of sticking with his top seven players as he did at Stanford.
