College basketball metrics expert Evan Miyakawa, who praised Arizona earlier this week, posted a graphic on Friday showing that the Wildcats have not allowed an opponent to go on a meaningful scoring run in a big game this season.
Kill shots are defined as a team going on a 10-0 scoring run or more. Arizona is tied for 12th nationally with Duke and Georgia at 1.18 kill shots per game and tied for third, allowing 0.06. Florida and Stephen F. Austin are the only teams that have not allowed a kill shot. Arizona has allowed one in all games.
