“They have high-major talent in their backcourt. Our ball-screen defense is going to be tested at a high level. Lofton’s probably going to be the best offensive guard we’ve faced. He’s prolific. Griffin’s almost averaging a double-double and he’s a great offensive rebounder. They play not to foul. They want to offensive rebound and they don’t want you to offensive rebound. They’re capable of beating anybody. They’re going to play hard and they’re not going to look at Arizona (and be intimidated). They’re coming in the game saying this is winnable game.”
-- UA assistant coach Book Richardson, who scouted the Tigers.
