Arizona plans to use Kerr Kriisa early—and maybe often—at Utah on Thursday

Kerr Kriisa has waited long enough to make his Arizona Wildcats debut so Sean Miller isn’t going to keep prolonging it.

The UA head coach said Monday on his radio show that he plans to use the freshman guard early at Utah on Thursday, the first game Kriisa is eligible for this season.

“He’s waited so long I think it makes sense to both give those guys (James Akinjo and Terrell Brown) a breather earlier, but also to allow Kerr to get in when the game is beginning so that he gets maybe an initial, quicker opportunity and he’s able to get in the game and get a good feel so that when he comes in again it’s not that first time where he’s just sitting there waiting,” Miller said.
