News and notes as Arizona prepares for Thursday night's game against the Huskies in McKale Center.
Bruce Pascoe Because Arizona sometimes finishes practice with a scrimmage between its reserves and walk-ons, the Wildcats’ regular players get a little extra rest."I think we found something here," UA coach Tommy Lloyd said Wednesday, after his point guard officiated part of another scrimmage."I think maybe long-term he’s got potential as a ref."

In fact, Veesaar said, their bond may have worked in reverse. During a week such as this one when the Wildcats have Thursday and Saturday Pac-12 games — Arizona will face Washington at 9 p.m. Thursday — there’s time in the schedule for the scrimmages.
Also a leading contender for the Pac-12’s Player of the Year award, Tubelis is averaging 20.1 points and 8.7 rebounds so far while shooting 60.5% from the field. He’s ranked No. 7 in Kenpom’s analytically engineered Player of the Year list.Another rim protectorAfter ASU center Warren Washington swatted away three UA shots in the Wildcats’ 69-60 win at Tempe on Saturday, the Wildcats will face another shot-blocker on Thursday in 7-foot-1 Washington center Braxton Meah.
Scary sightBecause they both had coaches’ radio shows to do Monday night, neither Lloyd nor Washington coach Mike Hopkins initially saw the collapse of Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin during a"Monday Night Football" game at Cincinnati."I was going to the coach's show last night and when I walked in, I said, 'Oh, who's winning the game?' And they were all looking at the screen going … they couldn’t believe it," Hopkins said.
