Ira Lee warms up before Arizona hosts UTEP on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2020

Despite all the changes over the first 10 days of its season, Arizona warmed up to play its fourth game in the past eight days, Saturday against UTEP.

After going from Nov. 27 to Dec. 4 without a game, the Wildcats have since hosted and beaten Eastern Washington, NAU and Cal State Bakersfield.

The Wildcats had all 11 available scholarship players on hand, while guard Kerr Kriisa has been cleared to practice (COVID protocols) but not play in games (NCAA clearinghouse issue). Forward Daniel Batcho (knee) is also on hand to watch.
