Arizona struggled early, missing shots while giving up too many open ones. The Wildcats had trouble finishing, too, allowing more points in the final 4 minutes than the previous 16. Good thing they played so well in between. Coming off two disappointing exhibition games, No. 16 Arizona lived up to coach Sean Miller's work-in-progress billing by playing just well enough to open the season with a 73-64 win over Valparaiso on Monday night.
