Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd said in the postgame that his team's goal against Alabama was to "put it to them on the glass."

Arizona knew they would have a sizable advantage in rebounding against Alabama because the Crimson Tide has shown time and time again this season that they simply aren't a tough, physical team.
