For subscribers: The Star's longtime columnist on Arizona's quest for toughness, Alex Verdugo's future and the silly idea to expand the NCAA Tournament.
Greg Hansen The Star's longtime columnist on Arizona's quest for toughness, Alex Verdugo's future and the silly idea to expand the NCAA Tournament:
Under duress, Arizona’s Bennedict Mathurin, Christian Koloko and Azuolas Tubelis combined to shoot 4 for 20 on 2-point shots, almost all of them strongly contested, fighting through bumps, pushes and in-your-face pressure.Unless you regularly attend Tommy Lloyd’s practice sessions this month, you’ll never be sure how he has adjusted for Year 2 as Arizona’s coach.
Now, seven months later, Lloyd appears to be taking measures to ensure that Arizona is prepared for push-and-shove tactics that will surely be applied when the Wildcats play neutral court games against Cincinnati, Indiana and, probably, nationally-ranked Ohio State, Creighton or Arkansas. Courtney Ramey appreciates experiencesArizona senior shooting guard Courtney Ramey, a transfer from Texas, said he will benefit from playing in Tommy Lloyd’s fast-pace offense, compared to last year at Texas when slow-and-go coach Chris Beard’s team ranked No. 336 in the NCAA in offensive tempo. Arizona was No. 9."It’s all a plus for me," said Ramey, who has scored 1,275 points in college basketball.
