The Arizona Wildcats (5-2) will practice in Tucson on Saturday before boarding a plane to Hartford, Connecticut where they will battle the UConn Huskies (6-1) on Sunday at 11 a.m. MST in the XL Center.

A lot has changed since then.
Arizona has five new starters, and while UConn returned 10 scholarship players including three starters, it made a coaching change, replacing Kevin Ollie with Danny Hurley, who was previously at Rhode Island.
It should make for an interesting sequel in this home-and-home series, and here are some things to watch:
Arizona’s first road test
While Arizona played away from McKale Center at the Maui Invitational, true road games are more revealing of a team’s mettle, and this one should be no exception.
