Arizona is back at it with a Sunday night game (forcing me to miss my Packers
) for the second and final exhibition of the week with Chaminade making the trip from Hawaii for UA's final tuneup before next week's opener.
The Silverswords gave San Diego State a good game last week and should be a much tougher opponent than Western New Mexico. As always, join the conversation or simply follow along with the updates from press row at McKale Center.
Preagme
- Arizona center Chase Jeter, who sat out the first exhibition with an ankle injury, looks like he will give it a go tonight as he has been warming up with the team.
- Arizona commit Terry Armstrong is expected to be in attendance for tonight's game as he gets an up-close look at his future team.
- Another Terry in the house tonight as well
