Exhibition win over Western Oregon highlights Arizona men’s basketball’s potential, room for improvement

Arizona had no trouble beating Division II foe Western Oregon on Tuesday night, coasting to a 91-61 victory in an exhibition game that serves as its final tune-up before the real games start next week.

There was plenty to like about the Wildcats’ performance, notably the aggressive play of junior forward Azuolas Tubelis and sophomore wing Adama Bal, who led the UA with 19 and 15 points, respectively. Oumar Ballo added 14 points and 11 rebounds, four on the offensive end, while Pelle Larsson had 12 points, eight rebounds (five offensive) and four assists and transfers Courtney Ramey and Cedric Henderson Jr.
