Lauren Ware tried to carry the Wildcats. With leading scorer Cate Reese still out, Ware had 15 points and 8 rebounds, but it was not enough for Arizona to defeat the Colorado Buffaloes in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament. The Buffs moved on with a 45-43 victory.
It was not a game for the offensive-minded. Arizona scored just 22 points in the first half while Colorado scored 24. Each team went 9 of 10 from the free-throw line, so the offense was even leaner than the score indicated. The Wildcats shot just 27.
