Arizona Basketball: Cats to take on Spartans in Armed Forces Classic

The anticipation and anxiousness for the start of the season can now finally subside, as the Arizona Basketball team tips-off tomorrow in Hawaii as part of the 2016 Armed Forces Classic.

Sean Miller and the 10th ranked Wildcats will take on Tom Izzo’s 12th ranked Spartans.

This first game should prove to be a significant challenge, and the Wildcats still without Allonzo Trier, will have a difficult matchup on their hands.

Billed as a season with high potential, expectations have cooled a bit following the career-ending knee injury to Ray Smith, as well as the uncertainty of Trier, and the suspension of Chance Comanche.
