Boise State vs. Arizona: College Basketball Game Preview, Prediction

Arizona answered Boise State every time they would splash a jumper or blow by for an easy layup. The 20 receptions were the most by any player in the FBS in one game this season.

“You’re working hard every day in practice, and you have to give everyone an opportunity”, York said. “Tonight the ball just made a decision to fall for me”. Quite frankly, I think this is something the Wildcat faithful should be proud of. It’s clear that whoever has the hot hand, be it Allen or Jackson-Cartwright, that’s the guy that will get the majority of the minutes at the position. “This was a big game for him”.

The Wildcats are much better on paper and will be heavily favored to win this game at home. York knocked down three three-pointers in the first half and led the ‘Cats at the break with 15 points. Webb’s previous career high was 23 at New Mexico January 18, 2015. Boise’s shots weren’t falling near as much as they previously were, and Arizona made sure to make them pay for missed shots.

Arizona eventually settled down, but the up-tempo style of play went against Miller’s usual preference of a more deliberate pace. “I’m happy for Gabe and happy for our team”.

Just under 5 minutes left in the game is when Arizona finally wore out the Broncos. Boise State looks absolutely bad on defense and needs a miracle to hold off this elite Wildcats team, which boasts seven players who are averaging at least 7.5 points a game. Then came the second half when Arizona outscored the Broncos 44-34 in the second half to pull away.

Again, everyone played a part. Miller has received a veteran boost from his team’s seniors, as well, as forward Ryan Anderson leads the team, averaging 16.5 points and eight rebounds in 26 minutes. Both he and Dusan Ristic are averaging 8 rebounds per game as well.

Miller went on to say he felt it was Jackson-Cartwright’s best game as a Wildcat in his one-plus years.

“I realized there would be space to get into the lane very early”, Jackson-Cartwright said. “It was a fast-paced game”, said Jackson-Cartwright, who had 14 points on five of six shots. Below is everything you need to know about the game, including the Arizona vs. Boise State online live stream, TV broadcast information, game notes and prediction.

Freshman Allonzo Trier scored 11 of his 13 points in the second half for the Wildcats (3-0) in their 41st consecutive home-court victory, the longest active streak in the country. “Kadeem has the ability to play with Parker, and as Parker continues to grow and improve, our way of playing him more doesn’t necessarily mean Kadeem is the odd man out”.

Arizona finished the game with four players in double figures. Karson Roberts, who has started the last eight games after Nate Romine was lost for the season due to an injury, has attempted 91 passes without getting sacked. But Miller was encouraged by everyone and when the head coach is happy, well, everyone is happy.
