Arizona forward Lauri Markkanen launches upward for a dunk against the College of Idaho during Arizna's exhibition game on Tuesday, Nov. 1 in McKale Center.

Arizona basketball kicked off their season with an 86-35 victory over the College of Idaho Coyotes. Freshman Kobi Simmons led the way in scoring with 17 points and junior Dusan Ristic starred for the Wildcats with 14 points and 9 rebounds.

Everything went according to plan for Arizona on the court, but that was well besides the point on Tuesday night.
