Freshman forward Koa Peat sat out the second half of top-ranked Arizona's 78-75 loss to No. 16 Texas Tech with a lower-body injury on Saturday in Tucson, Ariz.

'We're gonna figure it out. It's a lower leg deal,' Wildcats head coach Tommy Lloyd said of Peat's injury. 'I know (trainer Justin Kokoskie) and the doctors are on it and I'm sure they'll do some testing and we'll figure out where it's at. But I don't have anything other than that.'

Peat, who is a projected first-round NBA draft pick, finished with two points and a rebound in 11 minutes of action on Saturday.

He is averaging 13.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 25 games for Arizona (23-2, 10-2 Big 12), which has lost two in a row following a 23-game winning streak to start the season.

The Wildcats return to action on Wednesday against BYU (19-6, 7-5).
