The Tommy Lloyd era officially kicked off Saturday at McKale Center with the annual Arizona Wildcats Red-Blue game.
The day's events were highlighted by Dalen Terry's perfect score to win the dunk contest, followed by a team scrimmage where Kim Aiken Jr. hit four 3-pointers and scored a team-high 16 points.
Lloyd, Terry and Aiken Jr. discussed their Red-Blue experience and gave their thoughts on the upcoming season.
