The annual Red-Blue scrimmage is routinely a coming out party for Arizona’s newcomers, of which there are many this season between freshmen and transfers.
Yet it was one of the few returners—one who almost wasn’t going to be back—who stole the show on Friday night at McKale Center.
Devonaire Doutrive led all scorers with 15 points in helping the Blue team to a 46-32 win over the Red squad, this coming after the sophomore guard won the pregame dunk contest.
“I felt very comfortable,” said Doutrive, who briefly left the team during the offseason but opted to return in July.
