Love what Dusty May and his staff are doing this year with non-league slate. Return just about everyone from Final Four team.
FAU…
This non-conference clash promises to be a thrilling matchup, pitting two talented programs against each other on a neutral site that adds an extra layer of anticipation to this game.
FAU also presents an excellent opportunity for Arizona, especially as the Wildcats will be breaking in a revamped roster next year, and they will also have the challenge of playing a talented team fresh off of a Final Four run in 2022-23.
Las Vegas has been kind to Arizona Basketball, so we will see if the Wildcats can bring back the magic in 2023-24.
Already scheduled for 2023-24, Arizona has a tough non-conference slate that will include a matchup at Duke (11/10), Michigan State (11/23), Wisconsin (12/9), at Purdue (12/16), Alabama (12/20), and now potentially Florida Atlantic (12/23).
Should this game be finalized, it is an opportunity for Arizona to gain valuable experience and build momentum as they head into conference play. Non-conference matchups like this one will play a pivotal role in determining an NCAA Tournament berth/seeding and could prepare the Wildcats for Pac-12 play.
As the countdown to the 2023-24 basketball season begins, Wildcat fans will have plenty to look forward to this season with several marquee matchups. We will see if Arizona is up to the task!
