For the most part, ninth-ranked Arizona's 99-61 win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Tuesday at McKale Center was worry-free, except for when guard Kerr Kriisa left the game in the first half with an illness.Β 

Despite Kriisa's absence, the Wildcats shot 56% from 3-point range and had a season-high 51 bench points. Freshman point guard Kylan Boswell had eight points, eight assists and seven rebounds in 26 minutes.Β 

Arizona forward Azuolas Tubelis posted 20 points and 13 rebounds (the most rebounds since his freshman season against Washington), while freshman Henri Veesaar had a career-high 16 points off the bench for the Cats.
