Arizona vs. Kansas: The High-Stakes Showdown That Could Redefine the Season

Arizona vs. Kansas: The High-Stakes Showdown That Could Redefine the Season

Those weren’t the only ailments Arizona has dealt with of late. Brayden Burries needed an IV after the Feb. 18 game against BYU, still looked well below 100 percent at Houston and according to Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star was battling bronchitis at Baylor when he scored 23 points including 14 in the final 10-plus minutes.

And Anthony Dell’Orso was also a game-time decision for Baylor after injuring his ankle and a foot muscle late at Houston yet played 30 minutes and hit two of Arizona’s nine 3-pointers. Dell’Orso had scored 22 apiece off the bench in the previous two games.

“The seasons are obviously long and they’re tough, and it’s been a long road, but I feel like we’re coming out of it,” Lloyd said. “I feel like we’re coming out of it at the right time. You have to acknowledge it’s probably going to happen over the course of the season. You don’t manifest it happening, but it does. You have to deal with it. I think everyone’s had to go through it at some point this season. We had a good day off (Wednesday), and I told our guys we needed it to be our guest best day of rest and recovery we’ve had all season. And then we need to follow it up with a couple good practices, because we haven’t been able to practice much. I think practice matters.”

Reserves Sidi Gueye and Evan Nelson helped Arizona navigate the last three games, combining for 41 minutes.
