TUCSON, AZ – Looking to cap off a successful week, No. 3 Arizona Basketball (4-0) returns to action to take on UT Arlington (2-1)!

Playing its third game of the week, No. 3 Arizona Basketball returns to McKale Center after throttling Southern and Belmont earlier this week.

And coming in, the Wildcats are the massive favorites again, and rightfully so as the Cats appear to be one of the best teams in the country so far this season.

Returning to the hardwood after a quick turnaround, the Wildcats will have to bring the energy as this will be its fourth game in the last nine days.

Beyond that, this will be one of its last tune-up games before the meat of their schedule picks up with No. 18 Michigan State (Nov. 23), Wisconsin (Dec. 9), No. 2 Purdue (Dec. 16), No. 22 Alabama (Dec. 20), and No. 10 FAU (Dec. 23).

Hopefully, the Cats look sharp and are ready to go in this!
