After Parker Jackson-Cartwright sprained his ankle last Wednesday against Texas Southern — the latest event in a string of injuries for the Arizona Wildcats — Sean Miller was asked who the team’s eighth man was.

He had an honest answer.

“I don’t know,” Miller said flatly.

Just six days later, he’s found an answer — Tyler Trillo.

The 5-foot-11 guard from Connecticut played 13 minutes in Arizona’s 79-57 win over UC Irvine and picked up two assists. The redshirt sophomore missed his only shot attempt — an open corner 3 — but also had a zero in the turnover column.
