Lack of intensity. Poor transition defense. Bad free throw shooting. An inability to hit the outside shot. It all piled up for the Arizona Wildcats in a 72-65 loss to the Colorado Buffaloes.
“I think we’ve got no sense of urgency on defense,” Arizona head coach Adia Barnes said. “Just lack of energy and focus.”
Arizona allowed Colorado to shoot over 43.6 percent from the field and 46.7 percent from the 3-point line.
“Our lack of defense, I think was the main thing from the get-go,” Barnes said.
The Wildcats failed to capitalize on their free throws, hitting just 10 of 20 from the line.
