Arizona Wildcats head coach Sean Miller calls out to his players during the first half of the No. 18 University of Arizona Wildcats vs. Stanford University Cardinal men's college basketball game on Jan. 1, 2017, at Maples Pavilion in Palo Alto, Calif. Mike Christy / Arizona Daily Star

Because of the Pac-12’s unbalanced schedule, the Wildcats won’t have to make the trek to Colorado and Utah, which is the conference’s second-worst trip for travel logistics behind only Washington and Washington State.

The Utah-Colorado road swing also dealt the Wildcats two losses last season. Still, UA coach Sean Miller said the scheduling didn’t matter to him.

“It is what it is,” he said. “You can look it a million ways. We’re all gonna play 18 games. There’s two teams that we don’t play in McKale (Oregon and OSU) and two teams we don’t travel to. I don’t really worry about it as much.”
