TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -

Arizona Wildcats senior guard Brendon Lavender has had the hot shooting hand at home this season.

"B-Lav" has turned in blistering second-half performances at McKale Center against Bryant, Oregon State and last week against Utah. However Lavender has not been able to duplicate that shooting "zone" on the road.

In fact, Lavender has not scored more than six points in any road game this season.

So what's it going to take to get Lavender's hot shot going in an opposing gym?

Junior forward Solomon Hill says Lavender has excelled against zone defensive teams and the Washington State Cougars will play zone Thursday night so the Wildcats have got to find him in transition.
