LĀHAINĀ, HI – No. 14 Arizona Basketball (3-0) begins the Maui Invitational Tournament as the Wildcats take on Cincinnati (3-1). 

The 2022-23 Arizona Basketball season is rolling along, and after starting 3-0 with dominant wins over Nicholls, Southern, and Utah Tech, the Wildcats return to action against Cincinnati to begin the Maui Invitational.

Traveling to the friendly confines of the Pineapple Isle, the Wildcats enter Monday’s action as the favorite after their first three games by a combined 86 points.

Coming in, the Wildcats should be in store for yet another intriguing matchup as the Cats have the talent to run the Bearcats off the floor; however, Cincinnati has the talent and athleticism to hang tough, and overall, this one should be a physical one.

With Arizona Basketball preparing for Cincinnati, here is how you can watch and follow their game.

Arizona Game Preview:

Beginning the Maui Tournament largely untested, Arizona is fresh off of a dominant win over Utah Tech on Thursday evening where all five Wildcat starters finished in double-figures.

And entering Monday’s action, this matchup should be an interesting one. Together, both teams share a bit of history here, having met three times previously. Overall, the Wildcats lead the series 3-0, and the last time these two programs met was in 1996 when Arizona won 79-76 on a Mile Simon buzz-beater from nearly 70 feet from the basket.

While I expect Arizona to control this one, the Wildcats will need to be ready to go in this one! Tip-off is set for 9:30 P.M. Tucson time!
