NCAA rules require teams to hold an open practice before tournament games. The Wildcats use the term loosely.

UA coach Sean Miller restricts the practice to layup lines, free-throw shooting and warmups. The Wildcats held a full-on practice earlier Wednesday at a familiar location — the Huntsman Center, home of the Utah Utes.

Arizona didn’t play at Huntsman this season because of Pac-12 scheduling, but lost there two years ago 70-64.
