Arizona’s defense hits new low in loss to Oregon State

The Arizona Wildcats suffered their worst loss to the Oregon State Beavers in over 30 years Sunday, and it all stemmed from a listless defensive effort.

The Wildcats allowed a season-worst 1.3 points per possession, the Beavers shooting 54 percent from the field, 44 percent from 3 and, to add insult to injury, 91 percent from the free-throw line.

Arizona surrendered 51 points in the second half, the most it has allowed in a half this season. OSU made 65 percent of its shots in the period and, at one point, had a stretch in which it converted 14 of 15.
