The Arizona Wildcats added Pacific for their season opener at McKale Center on Friday, Nov. 13, according to basketball operations director Ryan Reynolds, completing the nonconference portion of their schedule.
Arizona will play seven one-time βguaranteeβ games at home (though its Nov. 19 game against Boise State is also technically part of the Wooden Legacy multi-team event), then two more at home that are part of multi-year deals, against Missouri and UNLV.
The Wildcats will play only one true road game in nonconference play, at Gonzaga on Dec. 5, and will participate in three moreΒ Wooden LegacyΒ games in Orange County. Michigan State is the other marquee team in the Wooden event.
Times wonβt be set at least until late summer and the Wooden Legacy bracket still has yet to be announced. Arizona also has yet to finalize its opponents for its exhibition game and closed scrimmage, as well as setting a date for the Red Blue Game.
Pac-12 play is scheduled to begin around New Year's weekend, probably on Dec. 30 or 31.
