Inside Arizona’s Final Four Push: The Crucial Moves Each Player Must Make to Secure a Spot in the Championship Game
Anthony Dell’Orso
Take what’s given to him
Dell’Orso hit only one shot in the Elite Eight, but it was a big one, a 3-pointer in transition that put Arizona up six in the second half and forced a Purdue timeout. He’s scored 26 points in the last five games, but also hasn’t needed to do much with others doing their part.
But Dell’Orso also scored a UA-best 26 against Iowa State in the Big 12 semifinals, draining six 3s, and when Peat was injured he had back-to-back 22-point efforts off the bench. He can go off if needed, but if less is asked of him he needs to fill that role as well.
Dwayne Aristode
Maximize his minutes
Aristode logged only 84 seconds on the court in the Elite Eight, essentially giving Bradley an extended media timeout in the first half. He’s played 26 minutes in the NCAA tourney, 15 in the first round blowout of Long Island, and since returning from illness has just 18 points in 83 minutes.
