TUCSON, Arizona — Southern gave Marquette and Florida a bit of trouble in road games earlier this season.
But once the Jaguars got behind No. 1 Arizona, they didn’t stand much of a chance.
Southern tried to fight back from a big early hole but struggled from the 3-point line and at the free throw line in a 69-43 loss to the Wildcats on Thursday night.
“My team is trying to find an identity, and we have a long way to go,” Southern coach Roman Banks said. “My concern is that we didn’t show character; we floated all night long. Arizona is a great basketball team, but I thought we played on our toes.”
Coming off a comeback road win over Michigan on Saturday, Arizona (12-0) raced to a 15-point first-half lead over the Jaguars despite having to shift players to new positions with 7-foot center Kaleb Tarczewski out.
