In my 40 years in Tucson no person has done more for this city than Lute Olson. It went beyond victories and championships. He galvanized this community with his dignity and genuine love for his players and all who knew him. His influence will be with us forever.
All 14,644 seats sold. Both teams are 10-1. Last 7 years the two winningest programs west of the Continental Divide. 8:05 tip

The championship belt is on the plane and headed back to Tucson. The Cat’s aren’t playing like the third youngest team in the nation. Message delivered tonight.🏆
2003 NCAA Tournament Huntsman Center SLC. Jason Gardner scores 22 Arizona beats Gonzaga in 2OT. Tonight Gardner and Tommy Lloyd return but now on the same team.
Thinking back on some of the Cats epic NCAA games.
1988 North Carolina, 1997 Kansas, 1997 Kentucky, 2003 Gonzaga, 2011 Duke, 2022 TCU. So many other big wins but those stand out. On to the Alamo!!
Next to my own father, Jerry Kindall was one of the greatest men I’ve known. He lived his life with faith and dignity. Wins and losses were secondary to his real passion, caring for people. Thank you JK and RIP.🙏
Leaving for the 32nd NCAA Tournament since 1985. Few schools can match that string of success. Never take it for granted. Win or lose, it’s always special.
Happy Thanksgiving from Palm Desert. Cats and Spartans this afternoon at Acrisure Arena. UA averaging 99.6 points. Michigan State holding teams to .334 from the field. Tip at 2 AZT. SiriusXM 197 The Varsity app,
Sun up. Bear Down in Tempe. 46th and final game as members of the PAC-10/12. Arizona won its first ever PAC-10 game in 1978 beating (Oregon)State. Let’s finish the chapter with a win over (Another) State today. Listen in Phoenix

Last season Ole Miss was considered the last team in the field. Won 8 of last 11 games. Entered the Coral Gables regional with a 32-22 record. Went on to win the National Championship.
As a precautionary measure both the Tommy Lloyd and Adia Barnes radio shows have been cancelled for the week ahead. We plan to resume both shows in January. Thanks for your support. Stay well and Happy Holidays 🎄
Les Josephson inherited me when I took over the UA broadcasts in 1987. He didn’t have a choice and probably wondered why this kid who had never played football was given such responsibility. Instead, he embraced the new kid. Without his help who knows where I’d be today. RIP

Every young broadcaster dreamed of being like Vin Scully. No one could, or ever will, match his mastery of the craft. There can be only one “greatest” and Vin was and is it. His influence on broadcasting will live forever.
Long night in Pullman. Never done a game in the fog. Thanks for hanging with us. Headed to Vegas then the T-Cup where anything can happen. Better days ahead.
For those who think broadcasters have the best seat in the house I give you our location at Evans Diamond. Wind, rain, sun, we get it all. To my ACC friends, enjoy.
Game day practice in Tempe.234th meeting between Cats and Devils tonight at 7.

IMG Network radio at 6. Tray tables in the upright and locked position. Make sure your seat belts are fastened.
Some fun facts courtesy the Pac-12 research department.
Cat’s return 100% of their passing yards. 95% of rushing yards. 69% of receiving yards.
Roster shows that the defensive front 7 has been fortified. New faces will need to emerge in secondary. ST solid. 45 days to kickoff.
