The 10th-ranked Arizona Wildcats are taking on No. 14 Indiana, the first matchup between the two programs, in Las Vegas on Saturday.Β
While the Wildcats have recently called home in Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena, the showdown between the Wildcats and Hoosiers will happen at MGM Grand Garden Arena, where the UA went 7-3 in the Pac-12 Tournament β and winning the conference title in 2015.Β
Leading up to Arizona-Indiana, UA head coach Tommy Lloyd held a news conference. Here are the most pertinent clips from his availability at McKale Center.Β
