All Sean Miller could do his shake his head as a pass along the wing from Parker Jackson-Cartwright was nearly intercepted by a Washington Husky.
The head-scratching play summed up what was a mind-boggling first half performance for the Arizona Wildcats’ offense.
Washington used a 2-3 zone from the opening tip and UA was baffled by it. The Wildcats started 6-16 from the field, missed their first eight 3-pointers, and had seven turnovers to one assist in the early going.
At the end of the first half, the Wildcats trailed by two (they trailed by as many as nine points at one time) and were shooting 42 percent with nine turnovers to just four assists.
