Is it just me or has UofA lost a spring in their step defensively? Not a deep rotation?

Almost all of those close defenses wear down a bit.  Scoring in the 4th quarter usually goes up for both teams.  But I'm not sure exactly why they would have slowed down at the start of the 3rd quarter.

47-42 we lead.  A much better 3rd quarter offensively, but Aari McDonald largely sat.  We are absolutely blanking Reese who has 0 points so far.  But we are giving up too many open shots to Pueyo and McBryde, who are keeping them in the game with 9 treys between them.  We cut turnovers down to "only" 3 in that quarter.

The fourth quarter will be, not surprising, decisive.
