Sonoran Hot Reads: Former Arizona players take in UCLA game

It was a star-studded affair in Tucson on Friday night

With the NBA on their All-Star break, and the Arizona Wildcats hosting the UCLA Bruins on Friday night, it was a perfect storm to have a lot of familiar faces in McKale.

Here's just a sampling of the guys that were in town:

- Arizona won thanks to a big second half, and having the former players in the house may have helped Sean Miller motivate his team at halftime:

- Our buddies at Conquest Chronicles previewed USC's upcoming weekend. Unfortunately for them, the Trojans lost to ASU on Friday

- Myron Medcalf has Arizona beating USC by eight on Sunday. Eamonn Brennan explains why the rematch is just the second-best of the weekend (KU/OU is happening too)

- Rawle Alkins is going to be a hot topic after his visit to Tucson this weekend. St. John's fans are worried they're going to miss out on another New York product to Arizona

Football

- Spring practice started on Friday. Not a lot happened, but Brion Anduze did suffer an awful-looking leg injury from what I've heard

Other sports

- Women's tennis was dominant over San Diego
