The Arizona Wildcats squeaked out a victory on Monday night, beating Lipscomb by a score of 83-82. Nic Wise hit a 3 pointer with .1 seconds left in overtime to give the Cats the win. The Cats trailed most of the game but kept answering the Bison with strong play from Derrick Williams., Nic Wise, and Kyle Fogg. Wise had 26 points, made all 12 free throw attempts, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Fogg had 18 while Derrick Williams had 13.
The Cats had no answer for the Bison's big man Adnan Hodzic, who scored 34 points, had 13 rebounds and was 14-21 from the floor. The Cats were outrebounded 37-31 in the game. Not too much of a good feeling after this win. The Cats continue to struggle to stop anybody and other than Williams, Horne, and Wise, are not getting steady production from anyone.
