Fitting for Arizona senior forward Solomon Hill that he recorded his second double-double this season in the Wildcats’ 74-51 drubbing of Harvard in the West Regional second round Saturday.
Hill’s scoring and rebounding effort enabled him to join Arizona’s elite 20-10 Club — players who rank among the top 20 scorers and top 10 rebounders in the program’s history. Hill now has 1,414 points and 770 rebounds in his career. He passed Joe Nehls (1,409 points) to move into 20th in scoring and Jordan Hill (763 rebounds) to 10th in rebounding with his performance against the Crimson.
“You look at a guy like Solomon; he’s been a rock for us,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said in the postgame press conference. “There from the very beginning all the way through, I’ve never been prouder of a kid. He has grown and matured off the court every bit as much as he has on the court and I really believe he’s going to play in the NBA.”

— With the victory over 14th-seeded Harvard, No. 6 Arizona took care of business once again. The Wildcats are now 7-0 in the second game of the NCAA Tournament against a double-digit seed. In two of those seven years, the UA won the NCAA title in 1997 and advanced to the national championship in 2001.
— Miller is now 8-0 in his coaching career at Xavier and Arizona against lower-seeded teams.
— Arizona next plays in Los Angeles on Friday against the winner of No. 10 seed Iowa State and No. 2 Ohio State. They will play today in Dayton at 9:15 a.m.
— Mark Lyons led the Wildcats with 35 productivity points in 33 minutes against Harvard. In the games against Belmont and Harvard, Lyons had 62 productivity points in 67 minutes, a productivity rating of .925.
“You know, it’s a great feeling,” said Lyons, who advanced to the Sweet 16 two times previously with Xavier. “I’m playing for my original coach (Miller recruited Lyons to Xavier) who recruited me, playing with a bunch of guys who believe in me and got faith in me; we’ve been coming together as a team. It’s great to be back in the Sweet 16 and trying to advance.”
Defensive Rebounding Percentage (DRB%): Determined by dividing Arizona’s defensive rebounds (33 against Harvard) by the opposition’s offensive rebounds (11 for the Crimson) added to Arizona’s defensive rebounds (33) — 33/(11 + 33) = season-high 75.0 percent.
Offensive Rebounding Percentage (ORB%): Determined by taking Arizona’s offensive rebound total season-low three, mostly because of Arizona’s hot shooting) divided by that total (three) and the defensive rebounds of the opponent (22 for Harvard) — 3/(3 + 22) = 12.0 percent.
Ideal marks are 72 percent DRB% and 38 percent ORB%.
