Arizona was better than us for the majority of the game.But Rawle Alkins hit two free throws with 15 seconds left to put the Wildcats up by four.After the first one, I felt comfortable, Alkins said. Coach trusted me and Lauri to make the play happen.Tonny Trocha-Morelos missed a 3-pointer, and Davis missed the ensuing putback, allowing Simmons to grab the rebound and dribble out the clock.Arizona ended the first half with a 9-0 run led by Alkins five points to take a 41-28 lead and carried that momentum into the second half, pushing the lead to as many as 22 points with a 17-8 spurt over the first 10 minutes of the second half.Texas A&M didnt hit a field goal over the last 5:17 of the first half and shot 3 of 10 with eight turnovers to start the second half.For a large portion of the game, that was our best effort because we were playing against a really good team as well, Miller said.BIG PICTUREArizona: The Wildcats have continued to play well since losing to No. 8 Gonzaga on Dec. 3.
