Arizona recovered from another slow start to continue its domination over visiting Northern Arizona with a 53-39 victory on Saturday.

Solomon Hill had 15 points and seven rebounds for Arizona (6-2), which has won 28 straight games against the Lumberjacks (2-6).

Arizona started slow for the fourth straight game, but the Wildcats recovered to lead 25-19 at halftime after holding Northern Arizona to one field goal in the final 9:26 of the first half.

Northern Arizona, which is still looking for its first win over a Division I opponent, was led by Colin Gruber's 13 points, including three 3-pointers.

After shooting only 9-of-24 in the first half, Arizona opened the second half with three consecutive 3-pointers by Kyle Fogg to give the Wildcats a 14-point lead. Fogg finished with 11 points.

The Wildcats, who visit No. 10 Florida on Wednesday, outrebounded the undersized Lumberjacks by only 27-24.

The teams combined to shoot only 8-for-17 from the free throw line and commit 15 turnovers.
