Arizona and Indiana are finalizing plans to play on Dec. 10 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, according to FanDuel.

A contract has not been signed but talks are moving toward it happening, a source told the Star.

The Wildcats have the weekend of Dec. 9-11 open and still have several spots to fill on their 2022-23 nonconference schedule. Such a game would also fit within the new Pac-12-ACC-Big 10 alliance that was intended to include men's and women's basketball.

So far, UA's schedule looks like this until New Year's, after which the yet-to-be announced final 18 Pac-12 games will be played:

Nov. 7 NAU

Nov. 11 Southern

Nov. 21-23 Maui Invitational (Bracket TBA. Other teams: Arkansas, Cincinnati, Creighton, Louisville, Ohio State, San Diego State, Texas Tech).

Dec. 1 at Utah

Dec. 4 California

Dec. 17 Tennessee

Notes:

-- Nov. 8 will be a mandatory day off for Election Day, so the Wildcats will open against NAU on Nov. 7.

-- Arizona will not host Stanford and will not play at Colorado in 2022-23 because of the Pac-12's unbalanced 20-game schedule.
