The Arizona Wildcats closed out their first home sweep of the Pac-12 season on Saturday night by taking down the Colorado Buffaloes by nine points.
When looking at the stat sheet, one of the biggest things that jumps out about that game is the free throw disparity. Arizona was 26-of-33 from the line, while the Buffs were just 10-of-14. CU had 25 fouls called on it compared to the Cats’ 16.
So why the huge difference?
Part of it is that Arizona has learned to defend without fouling thanks to the extended stretch of having just seven scholarship players available.
