TUCSON – If Arizona still doesn't know if or when Allonzo Trier's suspension will end, the Wildcats may need to hang on to their eight-man rotation for a while.
And keep it from shrinking.
UA coach Sean Miller really only used about seven and a half guys last weekend against Utah and Colorado, finding reserve center Chance Comanche less effective last week than during his successful New Year's, and turned to Keanu Pinder for only 10 minutes in each game.
That arguably gave the UA rotation less collective energy for the final minutes of the game, when Arizona was trying to fend off a Colorado team that cut the Wildcats’ lead from 20 to just five points in the final minutes.
