McKale Center played host to ESPN's College GameDay broadcast Saturday morning before the Arizona Wildcats hosted the Oregon Ducks later that night.
It marked the fourth time in UA history that the show visited Tucson, and the first time since 2017.
The Star got there early to find the best signs and moments from the event.
