Arizona coach Sean Miller said on his weekly radio show Monday night that starting shooting guard Jemarl Baker Jr. is out for the season with a broken wrist. Baker missed most of the second half against UCLA with the injury and Miller said it could be broken when speaking to the media after the game.

That will, of course, bring some changes to the starting lineup and the UA head coach said Monday that Terrell Brown Jr. is likely to move into the starting five in place of Baker but that won't be the only move he is planning to make when the Wildcats take the floor this week. Bennedict Mathurin is expected to move into the starting lineup after putting together a strong string of games while Christian Koloko is expected to move into the starting group in place of Jordan Brown. Miller said Brown's fouling issues have become too consistent and he thinks watching the start of the game from the bench will help him.
