CORVALLIS, Ore. – Another case of the Gill Coliseum blues hit the Arizona Wildcats early Thursday night, and even Lauri Markkanen came down with it.
Before the Wildcats turned things around on both ends of the court to pull out a 71-54 win over the Beavers before 4,745 folks at the 68-year-old arena, some of the same troubling signs for UA were popping up that cost them three losses in five previous appearances here under coach Sean Miller.
In the first half, the Wildcats shot just 34.6 percent against the Beavers’ zone defense while allowing OSU to shoot 50 percent on the other end.
