In front of a sellout crowd, hyped for the start of Arizona’s season, it’s always fun to judge who gets the loudest cheers.

Alum T.J. McConnell received some of the loudest, even though he wasn’t at McKale Center. Rather, his came upon appearing in a pregame hype video.

Others with the loudest applause: Allonzo Trier, Ray Smith and Talbott Denny, a graduate transfer and Salpointe Catholic alum who will miss the season with a knee injury.

The cheer champions, though, were easily Olson and Simon, as to expected.
