Arizona played the first of three exhibition games on its international tour on Monday morning, crushing the Israel Select Team 124-77 in Tel Aviv. It will face much tougher competition in the other two games, set for later this week in Abu Dhabi, before returning to Tucson just in time for the start of the fall semester.
And a little more than a month later, the annual Red-Blue scrimmage will be here to mark the unofficial start of the 2023-24 season.
The intrasquad contest will be played Sept. 29 at 7:30 p.m. PT at McKale Center, an event that will feature player and coach introductions, skills competitions (including a dunk contest) and the scrimmage itself.
