Not that they needed them, but the Arizona Wildcats broke a school record by hitting 22 of 22 free throws in a 104-77 win over Utah Tech on Thursday night.
After holding Utah Tech under 20% shooting in the first half, after which UA took a 49-21 lead, the Wildcats let up early in the second. Utah Tech shot 50% from the field over the first eight minutes of the second half to trail 67-41.
With the game was never in doubt, Utah Tech players expressed some tension. Midway through the second half, Utah Tech’s Trey Edwards dunked while picking up a foul from Henderson — and then bumped into Ballo to earn a technical foul. Kriisa hit the two ensuing free throws while Edwards completed his three-point play on the other end, and UA led 76-51.
The Wildcats also held Utah Tech — the St. George, Utah school known as Dixie State last season — to just 18.9% shooting, including only 3 for 16 from 3-point range. The Trailblazers took an early 4-0 lead and tried to defend the Wildcats with a zone defense but the Wildcats quickly tore through it. Arizona put together two 10-0 runs to take a 20-6 lead just seven minutes into the game.
