SOLOMON HILL RUMORS & GOSSIP
Arizona's season ends at the hands of Bucknell
TUCSON At what point do you call a season a success? Or a disappointment?
Arizona junior Solomon Hill knew right away. Arizona's 2011-12 season was the latter. Not even close, never mind the 23 wins and a postseason appearance.
"I think it's a big failure because of the simple fact that if you don't get an at-large bid (to the NCAA tournament) the record doesn...

Arizona in comfort zone when away from home
TUCSON Oddly, Arizona has often been better on the road than at home. It depends on the time and the game, of course, but if Arizona is as good as its last game, it might be good to get back on the road.
Arizona didnt look sharp or comfortable in Saturday's 70-61 win against struggling Utah at McKale Center. That won't suffice when it faces Washington State on Thursday...

UA notebook: Hill expects inside presence
Solomon Hill already has been chosen Pac-12 player of the week twice this season, so he's not exactly coasting along. But the junior forward says Arizona's more experienced frontcourt players must play better -- and bigger -- if the team hopes to fulfill its potential.

Hill leads Arizona past Oakland, 85-73
TUCSON It's as sure a bet as Arizona basketball can get: When junior Solomon Hill plays well, so do the Wildcats.
Tuesday night was a prime example. It was nothing flashy or flamboyant. Instead, it was fundamental basketball and a true-to-form game where Hill let the game come to him.
No pressure. Just performance.
Hill had a career-high 23 points, a career-high-tying 11...
