We may be in the dead of Summer currently but that doesn't mean we are short on Arizona Basketball news either!
No! In fact, over the past few weeks, fans have been anxiously awaiting the release of the Big XII's first-ever opponent schedule following the additions of Arizona, ASU, Colorado, and Utah to the conference.

Overall, the Wildcats have a pretty strong list of games, and for us long-time Pac-12 watchers it is going to be quite an adjustment, mainly because there are no long Sunday night games in Pullman, Corvallis, or Westwood at 9 pm in front 187 people, and the competition from top-to-bottom is better, but I digress.
With that said, I rank the Top 5 Big XII matchups for Arizona Basketball this coming season! (*Please note, this list is subjective and is based on my opinion). So here we go!
