Arizona vs. Kansas: The High-Stakes Showdown That Could Redefine the Season
“For him to go 5 of 8 from three doesn’t surprise me,” Lloyd said. “I think it’s just a great sign that we can win a lot of ways. If teams are going to come try to game plan by not guarding Jaden Bradley, I guess so be it.”
If Peat is able to play, and start, Arizona can go back to having a big come off the bench. Awaka had thrived in that role, averaging just under a double-double, and while he wasn’t less foul-prone the whistles didn’t have as much of an impact because the Wildcats could rotate between him, Krivas and Peat in the frontcourt.
Awaka only played 17 minutes at Houston, fouling out in the final minute. Many of his fouls are outside the paint, often the result of going for a loose ball or chasing a defender.
“Tobe’s deal is simple: just don’t run guys over at the end of the play,” Lloyd said. “Just stop. I mean, it’s that simple. Tobe’s done a good job all year, when you’re that physical and that aggressive fouls are going to happen.”
