Arizona Wildcats Host Cal Poly in Men's Basketball Home Opener

Arizona men's basketball opens its home schedule against Cal Poly in what marks the Wildcats' first game at McKale Center this season. The matchup follows Arizona's recent appearance in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Series in Las Vegas, where the team faced UCLA at T-Mobile Arena on November 2.

In that neutral-site contest, freshman Ivan Kharchenkov wore number 8 for the Wildcats, while Caleb Holt donned number 3. Holt drew a foul on a scoring play during the first half against the Bruins, with Kharchenkov reacting from the bench.

The home opener against Cal Poly gives Arizona a chance to build momentum in front of its home crowd before conference play begins. Tip-off time and broadcast details were not immediately available.
