Date/time/TV: Nov. 21, 7 p.m., Pac-12 Networks
Game location: McKale Center
Series with UA: One-time appearance ($85,000 fee)
Last season: 10-21 (7-11 in Big Sky), RPI: 305
Coach: Jeff Linder (first year)
Go-to guys: G Anthony Johnson (15.8 ppg, 4.5 rpg)

Key newcomers: G D.J. Miles (juco transfer), G Chaz Glotta (Southern Illinois transfer), F Roberto Vercellino (freshman), F Kai Edwards (freshman)
Upside: Johnson, Davis and forward Jeremy Verhagen offer some returning stability to a program that was upended by the firing of coach B.J. Hill last spring during an NCAA investigation.
Downside: Rookie head coach Linder, a former Boise State assistant, takes over a roster full of turnover, and the NCAA could put down a hammer at any point once the investigation is settled.
