Preview from our Friends at Arizona Desert Swarm:

“Not only will the venues change for Thursday’s matchup, but both teams will look a little different, too.

On Arizona’s side, it will have Allonzo Trier this time. The sophomore guard missed the first matchup between these teams due to a suspension (which was lifted a day later). The Wildcats are 8-1 since Trier’s return — albeit it has not been the prettiest basketball — and he is averaging 13.9 points per game, the second-best mark on the team.

For USC, it will have the services of sophomore forward Bennie Boatwright this time around.”

Fight On!
