Dillon & Arizona Knocked Out of NCAA Tourneywww.arizonaathletics.com22 Mar 2008 WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) - It was as if there was a basket hooked up to the garage, and West Virginia's players were taking aim from behind the family car. The Mountaineers used a dazzling display of long-range shooting to beat Arizona 75-65 Thursday night, making the Wildcats' 24th consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament another one-and-done performance. Alex Ruoff scored 21 points, Da'Sean Butler had 19, and West Virginia went 11-for-19 from 3-point range to set up a matchup against Duke in the second round of the West Regional. ``Those are easy shots to make,'' Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins said. ``When you grow up in your driveway, that's kind of what you do. You shoot step-in shots. Al made some step-in shots and kind of got on a roll.'' West Virginia (25-10) took the lead for good on a 3-pointer by Ruoff with 17:43 left, and another jumper by Ruoff from beyond the arc made it 48-39. After Arizona closed to 60-59, two 3-pointers by Darris Nichols and another by Ruoff sealed the victory. Full Story
