‘Ugly’ basketball is OK with Arizona as it braces for Texas A&M in Sweet Sixteen

Arizona’s Round of 32 win over BYU was more of a rock fight than a cat fight. The Wildcats outlasted the Cougars 52-46 despite being marred by long scoring droughts and low shooting percentages.

Saturday’s Sweet Sixteen game vs. No. 2 Texas A&M might not be much different.

Arizona has shot 41 percent or worse in six of their last seven games. Their offense has dropped to No. 107 in the country and, aside from the first-round rout over Stony Brook, they have struggled to crack 60 points.

Sure, they could try to fix that, but at what cost?
