Allonzo Trier was a bucket shy of scoring 30 points Thursday, but the junior guard finished the night with 28 points on 8-of-9 shooting (3-of-3 from three-point range) and four assists.��

Trier scored a decent portion of his points from the free throw line hitting nine of his 12 shots and got six Roadrunners to have at least three personal fouls.��

There's no doubt that Trier was expected to have a colossal season especially after being named an AP preseason All-American and earning Pac-12 Player of the Week honors after averaging 31 points in the first pair of games. Even Sean Miller believes that Trier is the best guard right now in college basketball.

Now the Wildcats turn to the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament in the Bahamas, the home country of Arizona freshman phenom Deandre Ayton.��

Freshman point guard Alex Barcello, Ayton and Miller had a press conference after Thursday's win, check out what they had to say heading into the Bahamas:��
