Arizona basketball’s weekly Pac-12 pairings announced

The Pac-12 announced the weekly pairings for the 2021-22 men’s basketball season on Thursday and the Arizona Wildcats will have a road-heavy start to conference play in Tommy Lloyd’s first season.

Arizona opens Pac-12 play in Los Angeles against UCLA and USC on the week of Dec. 29, then heads to Tempe to take on Arizona State on some day between Jan. 5-9. After a homestand against Colorado and Utah on Jan. 12-16, UA will hit the road again to face Cal and Stanford, meaning five of Arizona’s first seven Pac-12 games are on the road.
