The Arizona Wildcats have played a large chunk of their season with just three scholarship guards available, and yet the team still finished the non-conference schedule with a record of 11-2.
Why?
Well, the physicality of those three guards.
Headlined by Kadeem Allen, the Wildcats have held opponents to a 30.5% clip from beyond the arc, a top-50 number in the country. The 60.8 points allowed per game ranks 18th in the country, and Arizona’s adjusted defense on KenPom ranks in the top 25.
No small feat for these three.
