What to watch for when Arizona hosts Oregon on Saturday afternoon

It’s a short turnaround for the Arizona Wildcats, who after beating Oregon State on Thursday night will be right back at it on Saturday afternoon when they host the Oregon Ducks at McKale Center.

Arizona (14-6, 8-6 Pac-12) has lost five in a row to the Ducks, dropping both matchups last season in overtime. Oregon (11-4, 6-3 Pac-12) will be playing only their fifth game in the past five weeks after having gone on two COVID-related pauses.

Tip is set for 12 p.m. MST, with ESPN2 airing the contest. Here’s what to be watching for:
