  • Their bulldog is in training. Freshman wing Rawle Alkins struggled to play his power guard game Friday, being called twice for offensive fouls while driving to the basket, and going only 1 for 4 from the field.

But Miller didn’t sound too worried about it, having seen Stanley Johnson pick up similar fouls early in his brief UA career, too.

“Rawle’s gonna be fine,” Miller said. “He’s that guy you’ve seen time and time again where you watch him a month from now, a couple weeks from now, and he’s going to be a completely different player than he is now.

“And he did some really great things in (Friday’s) game. It’s just he’s used to scoring. It’ll come. He just has to find out how it works for him.”
