No. 11 Arizona survives and advances past Santa Clara 75-73

FULLERTON, CALIF: Arizona men’s basketball leads Santa Clara 34-27 at halftime of the Wooden Legacy’s opening night, but the margin is not nearly as high as Arizona men's basketball head coach Sean Miller would like.

The Wildcats looked ready to cruise into the break with a double-digit lead when with 4:46 to go, they led the Broncos 32-15.

But a four-minute long scoring drought allowed Santa Clara to go on a 12-0 run and make it a game.

While Arizona shot a decent 45 percent from the field and outrebounded the Broncos by a 24-10 margin, the UA plagued itself with poor perimeter shooting – the team made 1 of 11 attempts from outside – and 10 turnovers.
