“I told our guys, if you want to be a great player, you want to be a great coach, we all have got to learn from this. I didn't think our end-of-the-game execution, our poise was what it has been in close games.
“We got the ball in front of the rim a couple times and didn't deliver. “I think they got a couple offensive rebounds that led to big plays,” Lloyd said. The Wildcats were able to go up double digits in the second half, but quickly let the lead get away. We didn't have enough shots and get rewarded with whistles. I thought we did a good job having the conviction to go inside. “When you're advantage, it's negated a little bit. I haven't reviewed the game, so I'm not saying one way or the other. When you have an advantage, either they're really physical and not fouling or they're not calling the fouls. “When the game is reffed like that, it makes it tough. They must not have been because obviously they didn't get called. “I mean, I don't know if they're fouls or not. “Listen, you sit here in my seat, you have an All-American big guy, an All-Conference big guy, you go inside over and over and over again, and you shoot seven free throws,” Lloyd said. That showed today.”Īrizona chose to go inside for most of its offensive possessions, but the Wildcats were unable to draw fouls. They're well-coached, have great fundamentals. “They made enough plays down the stretch and we didn't. That's what happens when you're able to stick around a basketball game. “We weren't able to separate from them enough when we had opportunities. “We ran into a good team today that made the right plays at the right time,” Lloyd said.
When Tommy Lloyd met with the media after Arizona’s loss to Princeton, he discussed the simple fact that Princeton was able to make more plays at the end of the game.
