Arizona basketball's comeback attempt goes south against Alabama

For the second game in a row, Arizona trailed by double digits in the first half, but this time it was unable to complete the comeback, and Alabama held on to win 76-73 in Tuscaloosa on Sunday afternoon.

Justin Coleman’s game-tying 3-point attempt from half court fell short as time expired and the Wildcats dropped to 7-3 on the season.

Alabama built a 19-point first-half lead, however Arizona rallied in the second half and actually took a 57-56 lead with just over nine minutes remaining. However, missed shots, lapses on defense and not being able to get rebounds plagued the ‘Cats the rest of the way.
