8 takeaways from Arizona’s 2019-20 basketball schedule

The Arizona Wildcats’ full 2019-20 basketball schedule was released Thursday, and you can find it HERE.

Here are some additional takeaways from it.

Weak MTE

College basketball teams are allowed to participate in one multi-team event (MTE) each season, such as the Maui Invitational or Battle 4 Atlantis.

This season, Arizona is playing in the Wooden Legacy tournament in Anaheim, which has a particularly weak field, consisting of Providence, Pepperdine, Wake Forest, Long Beach State, College of Charleston, Penn and UCF.

The way the bracket is set up, Arizona will open against Pepperdine (hello, Lorenzo Romar) and then face UCF or Penn in the semifinals before taking on Wake Forest, Providence, Long Beach State or Charleston in the championship game.
