Let’s not forget about those and just focus on maybe something that’s not your strength.’ To see him knock down a couple of threes I think was great for our team and great for his confidence.”

The 6-foot-7 sophomore is only the second Division I player this season to go for 13 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists while hitting two 3s, the other Nevada’s Grant Sherfield against D-II Minnesota-Duluth. He also made 2 of 3 3-pointers, belying his team-worst 23.8 percent shooting from outside and completely dismissing the New Year’s resolution suggested by one clearly misguided writer. Terry, who came in averaging 6.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists, was 5 of 9 from the field. “Dalen’s a do-all player,” UA coach Tommy Lloyd said afterward.

In a game that saw Arizona have three 20-point scorers for the first time in almost 13 years, it was a guy who had a rather pedestrian 13 points that was the true MVP.
