LAS VEGAS – Arizona center Oumar Ballo said he broke his left hand Friday against ASU but, after logging 26 minutes Saturday against UCLA in the Pac-12 Tournament final, that he expected to play through it next week.
“I will be fine to play in the NCAA Tournament,” Ballo said after UA beat UCLA 61-59 in the Pac-12 Tournament championship game. “I will be fine.”
“It’s kind of hard, we go through injuries and I didn't want to sit out for this game,” Ballo said. “ I needed to come out and give my body for my team because it's not like every day you wake up and play this type of game." “It was just physical, you know, too much contact,” Ballo said. “As a human being sometimes, it's kind of hard to play through contact every single time.”
