Watch: 6 best things Arizona Wildcats said after holding off UC Davis
Key moments from Arizona's postgame press conference following Saturday's 70-68 win over UC Davis.
UA avoids ending nonconference schedule on sour note with Justin Coleman's 3
UpdatedJustin Coleman made only one field goal in Arizona's 70-68 win over UC Davis, but his basket was the most crucial.
With less than a minute left to play in the game, the graduate transfer point guard sunk a 3-pointer from the right wing with only four seconds left on the shot clock to put Arizona up 70-68 with 53.6 seconds left.
The Wildcats had an 11-point lead at halftime, but the Aggies clawed their way back and tied the game mid-way through the second half. Coleman finished the game with four points on 1 of 4 shooting while co-captain Chase Jeter recorded 16 points and five rebounds.
Arizona finished the nonconference schedule 9-4 and will take a few days before returning to practice Thursday for the Pac-12 opener at home Jan. 3 against Colorado. Coleman, Jeter and coach Sean Miller spoke to the media following Saturday's win, here's what they had to say.
