Oumar Ballo had 18 points and a career-high 16 rebounds to lead Arizona to a 78-68 win over Colorado Saturday at McKale Center.
The Wildcats went on to take leads of up to 17 points over the first 16 minutes of the second half, although they continued to play their regular seven-man rotation the entire game while the Buffs remained within striking distance.
Trailing by up to 12 points early, the Wildcats went ahead 33-29 when Henderson drove inside and picked up a foul. Although Henderson missed the and-one free throw, he blocked a layup by Colorado’s Julian Hammond on the Buffs’ next possession, leading to a fast-break dunk from UA’s Kylan Boswell. In the first half, Henderson and Ballo each had 11 points to help Arizona take a 46-34 halftime lead over Colorado.
