+ | ===== Wildcats Win Despite Lowest Scoring Output In 20 Years ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | MILWAUKEE -- Salim Stoudamire kept his head up and encouraged his teammates. He didn't sulk or pout when things went wrong. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now that's what Arizona coach Lute Olson wants to see Stoudamire do on the basketball court. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Olson benched Stoudamire, his leading scorer, on Saturday, when Arizona (No. 16 ESPN/USA Today, No. 15 AP) edged Marquette 48-43 despite the Wildcats' | ||

+ | ESPN.com' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Olson also didn't like the way his senior star moped after being held to a career-low one field-goal attempt in a victory over Utah last week, Stoudamire' | ||
+ | |||
+ | "It was just a case where I felt it was the only way for him to begin to gain a positive attitude," | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lesson learned, Stoudamire insisted. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He said he realizes that " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Marquette coach Tom Crean knew he hadn't caught a break when he heard Stoudamire wouldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | "You just knew they were going to come out with a real chip on their shoulder," | ||
+ | |||
+ | And he knew Stoudamire' | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Chris Rodgers would start for most teams in America," | ||
+ | |||
+ | Rodgers keyed the victory with 16 points and six rebounds and made a key layup in the final minute when he blew past Steve Novak into an open lane. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hassan Adams added 14 points for the visitors, including two free throws with 4.1 seconds left to seal the victory after he grabbed the rebound off his teammate Ivan Radenovic' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Neither team scored much Saturday, combining for only three field goals over the last nine minutes. Arizona (7-2) hadn't been held to so few points since a 50-41 loss to Alabama in the 1985 NCAA Tournament. And Marquette scored just four points over the final 10:07. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Arizona trailed 43-42 when Adams sank two free throws with 2:06 remaining. The Golden Eagles found it harder and harder to get off a good shot against the athletic Wildcats and never regained the lead. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Nearly half of Marquette' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Marquette (9-1), which had its 34-game home winning streak ended, got 14 points from Travis Diener, who became the school' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Diener' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Diener (21.1-point average) and Novak (15.3), the Golden Eagles' | ||
+ | |||
+ | "You are not going to see two better shooters on one team than Novak and Diener," | ||
+ | |||
+ | With his senior star rooting from the next seat over, no less. | ||
