Despite their big night against Oregon two nights earlier, Azuolas Tubelis and the Arizona Wildcats found Saturday was no time to let down.
Through the first 35 minutes, after which freshman Kylan Boswell was the only regular still on the floor, Arizona shot 51.1%, held Oregon State to just 35.9% shooting and outrebounded the Beavers 35-20. UA also scored 13 second-chance baskets on 12 offensive rebounds.
Another freshman on the outside of the rotation, big man Henri Veesaar, threw down an alley-oop dunk off a pass from Adama Bal with 5:54 to go, giving UA a 73-40 lead. Arizona shot 56.0% overall in the first half, hitting 4 of 10 3-pointers, while crushing the Beavers on the glass. UA outrebounded OSU 21-8 overall, and scored eight second-chance points on nine offensive rebounds.
After the Wildcats shut down Oregon State’s first possession, they kept up the pressure throughout the first half. They took leads of up to 10 points in the first 10 minutes, going ahead 18-8 on a layup from Tubelis, and held OSU to just 38.7% shooting over the first 12 minutes of the half.
