Just under four minutes into the second half, Kevin Puryear’s three-pointer made it a 45-41 game and the Tigers had a chance got get it to a one possession game, but Russell Woods missed a dunk and Cullen VanLeer missed a short shot in the lane.  Arizona extended their lead to 14 with 8:02 to play as the Wildcats went on a 24-4 run.

The Tigers were held without a field goal for ten minutes and were 4-of-18 shooting in the second half when they ended an Arizona run of 21-0.
