Nothing major, but Washington Huskies center Aziz N’Diaye was late to the team bus and did not start.
Darnell Gant moved into the starting lineup in his place, but his presence was missed immediately, at least symbolically – Arizona scored a wide-open layup on a backdoor on their first possession.
But Arizona getting out to a quick 16-6 lead with about 16 minutes left had far more to do with them coming out with much more energy than the Huskies rather than simply missing N’Diaye.
