Arizona’s final regular-season weekend looks every bit as rough as when it was announced last fall. Maybe even worse.
The Wildcats will play at surging USC for the chance to lock up a No. 2 Pac-12 Tournament seed Thursday, then bus across town on Saturday to face regular-season champ UCLA, which is playing for a possible No. 1 NCAA Tournament seed. No doubt the Bruins will be aiming to avenge their 58-52 loss at Arizona on Jan. 21 at McKale Center too.
Individually, the shooting percentages for guards Kerr Krisa and Courntey Ramey have also improved, while Ramey’s assist-to-turnover ratio has jumped from 1.84 to 3.38. “I think with Ced and Courtney, they haven’t been in the system before, and it just takes time sometimes. It takes time to get it and understanding the 'why.' I think they all understood the urgency, which we had to learn. And I think sometimes you have to have setbacks to create some of those positive things —`OK, we’ve got to do better. I’ve got to concentrate better.’ All those things kind of added up to help us.
Larsson — whose shooting from 3-point range was just 19.4% in 11 key games as a starter but 42.9% in 11 games off the bench — also said he didn’t see any correlation. But he did acknowledge being more comfortable as a reserve, partly because he no longer has to worry about picking up fouls in the first two minutes.
