It's Thanksgiving week and while turkey and stuffing are on the menu, so are some important Arizona Wildcats games. In fact, four straight days of games.
Arizona football hits the road for some Pac-12 After Dark action Saturday as the Cats head to Tempe for the Territorial Cup matchup. UA men's basketball will play games away from McKale for the first time this year as they participate in the Wooden Legacy tournament with games on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
Each team talked about the state of their program and more ahead of these matchups.
