Dylan Smith busts shooting slump, as Arizona blows out Cal Poly

Burdened by a lengthy shooting slump spanning back to last season, Dylan Smith felt it was only a matter of time before his shots started falling.

“I just have to regain my confidence on the floor,” he said Friday. “I’ve been shooting it well in practice so I feel it coming.”

It finally did Sunday.

The UA guard scored 12 points and buried four 3s, as the Arizona Wildcats overcame some early shooting woes to beat the Cal Poly Mustangs 82-61 in McKale Center.

Smith had missed 13 consecutive treys dating back to last season and missed his first one Sunday, before drilling two in the first half to snap that streak.
