In the second of three expected exhibition games for the the Arizona men's basketball team on its Summer 2023 Mideast tour, Arizona defeated UAE Select early Thursday morning, 127-90, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

This time out, seven Wildcats scored in double figures, including Filip Borovicanin with 17 (he added nine boards and five assists) and freshman KJ Lewis, who had 15 and seven rebounds in his first action after missing Monday's 124-77 exhibition win over Israel Select.

The livestream of Thursday's game had some technical difficulties, but the majority of the game action did make it into the feed. If the YouTube replay embedded at the top of this story isn't working, head to Arizona's YouTube pageΒ to watch the replay.

Coming up, the Wildcats' third and final game of the trip β€” an exhibition against the Lebanon national team in Abu Dhabi β€” is scheduled for Saturday at 6 a.m. MST. The UA athletic department is expected to again stream the game via its YouTube channel, and as soon as those particulars are available, the Star will share an embed to the stream as well at Tucson.com/Pascoe.

More details or any livestream changes may also be available closer to tipoff at the Arizona Basketball team's Summer tour homepage, or via the team's X (Twitter) page.
