Former UA forward-turned-broadcaster Corey Williams called the Wildcats’ Dec. 14 game with Grand Canyon from ESPN’s studios in Connecticut… even though it was played in Tucson, where Williams lives.

While doing that “remote broadcast” for ESPNU meant Williams couldn’t gather tidbits from some off-screen action, Williams said the studio’s equipment was helpful.

“It’s like a smaller room with three or four screens showing different angles,” Williams said. “The great thing about that is you’ve got all your stats, graphics, internet screens and a lot of information at your fingertips.”
