As the Arizona Wildcats filed into their locker room at halftime of Sunday’s win vs. Long Beach State, head coach Sean Miller pulled Max Hazzard to the side and offered some words of encouragement.
Shoot the ball. Play with confidence. Be who you are.
“He just didn’t look right in the first half,” Miller said. “I don’t want to say he lost confidence as much as I think he just he wanted to play well so badly that it can work against you.”
Hazzard responded with the best half of his UA career, dropping 14 points including a quartet of 3-pointers.
