ALBUQUERQUE β Arizona freshman guard Alex Barcello won't play against New Mexico on Saturday because of an ankle sprain he suffered last week in practice.
Barcello injured his left ankle in practice last week following UA's Dec. 5 game with Texas A&M and tried to play on it against Alabama on Dec. 9 but played only four minutes. UA trainer Justin Kokoskie said the decision was made to keep him out for a while, and that it was uncertain if he would play Monday against North Dakota State or on Dec. 21 against UConn.
"We'll just see how it goes," Kokoskie said.
Rawle Alkins will start for the Wildcats on Saturday. UA coach Sean Miller has said it was just a matter of time when he'd regain his starting spot over Brandon Randolph.
