Arizona Wildcats Red-Blue scrimmage

Power forward Ira Lee is mobbed by teammates after his slam in the dunk contest during Arizona’s Red-Blue Game.

Arizona announced Thursday its preseason Red Blue Game scrimmage and celebration will start at noon on Sunday, Oct. 14.

Tickets for the Wildcats' annual preseason scrimmage and celebration will go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. All seats will be reserved, and priced at $15, $10 and $7.

It will be the first public glimpse at the new-look Wildcats, who return no starters and only five active scholarship players overall from last season's Pac-12 regular-season and tournament champions. UA coach Sean Miller brought in five new players while center Chase Jeter also became eligible after sitting out last season following his transfer from Duke.

UA's new roster has been updated on the school's website.

The Red-Blue Game will come on an otherwise quiet sports weekend on campus. Both the UA football and volleyball teams will be playing out of town: Football at Utah on Oct. 12 while volleyball is at UCLA on Oct. 12 and USC on Oct. 14.
