Basketball notebook: On Rawle Alkins’ foot, Deandre Ayton’s fouls, UCLA/USC, and more

The Arizona Wildcats held their weekly media availability Monday and the main theme surrounded the team’s defense — or lack thereof.

Sean Miller said this team might be the worst defensive team he’s ever coached, and you can read our full story about that here.

Here are some other notes and quotes from the presser.

Miller said Rawle Alkins did not have any soreness in his surgically-repaired right foot after starting and playing 31 minutes in the 78-75 loss at Washington on Saturday.

That was the good news. The bad news is Alkins shot just 2-of-12 from the field and “wasn’t himself,” Miller said.
