Arizona vs. Missouri

Arizona head coach Sean Miller tries to get his team to shoot a little more against Missouri in the first half of their game at Mizzou Arena, Saturday, Dec. 10, 2016, Columbia, Mo. Kelly Presnell / Arizona Daily Star

For Trevor Wells, a Kansas City resident who largely grew up in Tucson, the proximity of the game allowed him to see the Wildcats in person for the first time since the Wildcats clobbered Michiganโ€ฆ in the 1993-94 Fiesta Bowl Classic at McKale Center.

Wells was a student at Palo Verde High School then, on his way to becoming Arizonaโ€™s 4A state champion in the 100 meters. He later ran track at Wichita State and has since lived in Kansas City, where he now runs a boot camp training firm.ย
