Arizona basketball: Wildcats set date for Red-Blue Game

Another Friday affair

For the second consecutive year, the Arizona Wildcats will unofficially begin their basketball season with a Friday Red-Blue Game.

On Friday, the team announced that the game will take place on Friday, October 20th in McKale Center. No time was announced with it, but it’s likely to take place at night.

Unlike last year, this game will not be combined with a home football game the next day. Arizona football is on the road the following day, taking on the California Golden Bears in Berkeley.

Tickets for the Red-Blue Game will go on sale at 10 AM on Saturday, July 22nd on ArizonaWildcats.com. However, according to Bruce Pascoe, all tickets will be reserved again.
