Arizona men’s basketball tipped off its 2018-19 season with the annual Red-Blue game on Sunday at McKale Center. Festivities including adding two former players to the ring of honor, a dunk contest and the team scrimmage. Here’s a rundown of the most notable topics from the event.
Miller’s pregame speech
Every year, head coach Sean Miller opens the Red-Blue game with a message to the fans. At last year’s game, Miller’s speech was brief as the team was trying to move past the circumstances of FBI investigation.
The 2018 version of Miller seemed much more upbeat and appreciative.
