KJ Lewis makes spectacular plays in No. 3 Arizona’s win over No. 21 Michigan State
PALM DESERT, California — When you look at the box score, KJ Lewis’ six points on 3-of-5 shooting from the floor, may not amuse you. What will amuse you, is the actual plays Lewis made in No. 3 Arizona’s 74-68 win over No. 21 Michigan State at Acrisure Arena on Thursday.
Just moments after Lewis subbed into the game, Lewis committed a turnover on a bad pass. Lewis immediately got back and made up for the error with an impressive block on Michigan State’s Tre Holloman.

If you thought that was Lewis’ top play of the game, you might have to go back and think about it because in the second half Lewis provided us with another gem of a play.
In the first half with about six minutes to go, Caleb Love hit Lewis on a backdoor cut, Lewis elevated and completed a difficult looking reverse lay-up.
