No. 1-seeded Wildcats force overtime with late 3-pointer, then hold off Horned Frogs
Kerr Kriisa’s socks go halfway up his calf. Not high enough to conceal the red, orange, blue, yellow, purple bruising that climbs up his leg from the right ankle sprain he suffered in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament.
“I think that tells you what he means to our team,” said Tommy Lloyd, Arizona’s rookie head coach hired off Mark Few’s staff at Gonzaga. “Our trainer, Justin Kokoskie, did an amazing job getting him available to play. That was a real sprained ankle. That was no tweak.” TCU led by four early in the second half. Kriisa subbed in, and Wildcats led by five when he left. TCU cut it to three. Kriisa went to the scorer’s table; less than three minutes later, they led by nine — bending at the waist, wildly pumping his fists and screaming after every big basket or steal.
