Backcourt Trio Leads No. 10 Arizona to Win Over Canisius
11/04/2024 | Men's Basketball
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Caleb Love had 17 points and six assists, Jaden Bradley added 15 points and No. 10 Arizona opened coach Tommy Lloyd's fourth season with a 93-64 win over Canisius on Monday night. For Love, it marked just the second time in 133 career games that he registered six or more assists without a turnover.
Check out the final box score
Arizona jumped on the Golden Griffins from the start, scoring the first 13 points during an opening 20-2 run on its way to a 52-30 halftime lead. The Wildcats never let the lead get under 18 after that early burst to win their 18th straight home opener.
WATCH: Coach Lloyd Postgame
Arizona dominated inside, outscoring Canisius 48-12 in the paint while grabbing 18 more rebounds. KJ Lewis added 14 points for the Wildcats, who had 20 assists and nine turnovers — five before the starters came out.
WATCH: Lewis, Bradley Postgame
The Golden Griffins needed four minutes to score their first points and had trouble with Arizona's size all night, but still shot a respectable 43% from the floor in one of college basketball's toughest road environments.
Paul McMillan IV led Canisius with 20 points.
Takeaways
Canisius: The Golden Griffins had some good moments, particularly on offense after the slow start, but dug themselves way too big an early hole to prevent getting blown out.
Arizona: The Wildcats did what they're supposed to against an overmatched nonconference opponent at home and showed off the depth that has them eyeing a deep NCAA Tournament run.
Up Next
Arizona will host Old Dominion on Saturday with tip-off scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on ESPN+. Tickets are available at ArizonaWildcats.com.
