LAS VEGAS — For a coach who enjoys throwing out the occasional boxing analogy, Arizona’s Tommy Lloyd took the Wildcats to the perfect place over the weekend.

Much more so than for college basketball, the MGM Grand Garden is known for megafights, the place where Mike Tyson bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear, where Floyd Mayweather became a superstar and where Manny Pacquiao sent Oscar De La Hoya into retirement, among other big moments.

People are also reading… Jackson-Davis managed 11 points and five rebounds before fouling out in the final minute of Arizona’s 89-75 win over Indiana. Ballo put together his fourth double-double of the season with 11 points and 12 rebounds. "That was a great thing because I need to get better when double team comes," Ballo said. There’s"a little bit of improvement with my passing and kicking the ball out."

Jackson-Davis wound up hitting only 4 of 10 two-pointers and 3 of 5 free throws while fouling out in the final minute. His 11 points tied his season-low in scoring. It was a similar philosophy followed last month by Creighton coach Greg McDermott, who opted to single cover Ballo — and watched Ballo collect 30 points, 13 rebounds and the Maui Invitational trophy.

Adama Bal came off the bench to hit all three 3s he took, while Kerr Kriisa hit 4 of 10, letting both Hoosier fans — and Lloyd — know exactly how he felt about it.
