The Arizona Wildcats certainly are no strangers to adversity and they are already facing a great deal of it as the college basketball season tips off Wednesday.
Notice I didn’t say “their season” tips off Wednesday. The Wildcats saw their opener vs. NAU get canceled due to a COVID-19 case within the Lumberjacks program.
No matter when Arizona debuts, it will be without three scholarship players.
The school announced Monday that freshman guard Kerr Kriisa is temporarily leaving to play for the Estonian national team as he awaits clearance from the NCAA to play for the Wildcats.
