TUCSON, Ariz. - The University of Arizona Wildcat men's basketball dominated on offense to take down the Northern Colorado Bears, 93-70, at McKale Center on Sunday in the first round of the iBN Sports Las Vegas Invitational.

The Wildcats move to 3-0 as the Bears fall to 2-1.

Head coach Sean Miller saw a balanced attack, offensively and defensively, from his team. Of the 15 Wildcats seeing game action against Northern Colorado, 12 scored points. Defensively, 10 grabbed at least one rebound. Four Wildcats scored in double digits: sophomore Derrick Williams (15), sophomore Solomon Hill (11), junior Kyle Fogg (11) and sophomore Lamont Jones (10).

"Overall this was a good team win," head coach Sean Miller said. "Northern Colorado has a lot of skilled, experienced players that came back this year. They are hard to defend, which you could see in the first ten minutes of the game today. They won a lot of games last year and will win a lot this year."
