In preparation for Arizona's final nonconference game against Florida Atlantic University (FAU), one of last year's surprise Final Four teams, insights and a score prediction were sought from @nlorensensports of @mid_madness. Arizona, coming off a 13-point victory against Alabama, is favored to win by 6.5 points over the #14 ranked FAU. The matchup is considered significant, with discussions around who has the competitive edge. During the game, Arizona showed more energy than FAU, leading 10-3 at the media timeout. Arizona aimed to leverage Oumar Ballo, who was getting numerous touches early in the game, while FAU's Vlad Goldin was noted for effectively challenging Ballo without incurring early foul trouble. However, Arizona's strategy of taking bad jumpers allowed FAU to stay in the game, indicating a need for Arizona to focus on attacking the basket.
Arizona can get to the rim whenever it wants, but letting FAU back in the game a bit by taking bad jumpers. Needs to attack the basket.
Arizona has much more energy than FAU right now. Wildcats lead 10-3 at the media timeout.
FAU’s Vlad Goldin has done a great job of challenging Oumar Ballo thus far without picking up early foul trouble.
Arizona is going to get Oumar Ballo a ton of touches early. Goldin gets in foul trouble and if it happens today, FAU is in deep trouble.
