The 2023-24 men’s basketball season doesn’t begin until Nov. 6, but the first chance to see the latest version of the Arizona Wildcats is on Friday night. That is, if you can get a ticket.

For the first time in recent memory the annual Red-Blue intrasquad scrimmage, now known as the Red-Blue Showcase, will not be televised on Pac-12 Network or streamed online. That means the only chance to see this event is in person, at McKale Center (or read our tweets and postgame coverage).

According to UA officials, the Pac-12 doesn’t have the television staff to broadcast the game on the same weekend as three football games, including the Arizona/Washington game on Saturday night.
