Arizona Wildcats Seek Redemption Against Syracuse Orange at Gampel Pavilion

As the Arizona Wildcats prepare to face the Syracuse Orange, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain the momentum from their recent victory. The Wildcats showcased a balanced attack in their last game, with a steady increase in scoring across quarters and a final tally of 69 points. Their shooting was efficient from both inside and outside the arc, hitting 50 percent of two-point attempts and an impressive 42 percent from three-point range.

Defensively, Arizona's agility was on display with 13 steals contributing to 23 points off turnovers. However, ball security remains an area for improvement as they turned over the ball 18 times themselves. The assist-to-turnover ratio stood at a concerning 0.72, signaling that better decision-making will be crucial against Syracuse.

Rebounding could also play a pivotal role; while Arizona managed only five offensive boards compared to Auburn's eleven in their previous matchup, they'll need to be more assertive on the glass against Syracuse.

The upcoming game is set at Harry A. Gampel Pavilion – familiar territory for both teams given their recent clash there during the First Four - Game 4 event. Playing away may pose additional challenges for Arizona; however, it also offers an opportunity for redemption on this court.

Fans can expect an intense match as both teams vie for dominance in this non-conference game. With strategic adjustments and continued defensive pressure, Arizona aims to leave Connecticut with another win under their belt.
