This should be a close game. Especially if Omari Spellman plays

Raggedy first quarter. Overall our offense looks solid. We are getting some good looks. Defense has had some holes though. Glad the coaches get game film to teach from this early in the season.

Ballo still looks … uh … jet lagged.

Better second quarter defensively. We started jumping passing lanes and switching 1-5 but Anderson missed a couple of switches that led to easy looks at the rim.

Not better offensively. Lebanon crowded the lane and crashed the boards. Gotta give them credit.

Lebanon is definitely legitimate competition.

I like the way we're moving the ball, and integrating new faces. Most of our shots have been good looks...

KJ Lewis is definitely Tucson good. Last year we kind of knew what we were getting with Zu & Krisa but this years team is going to surprise some folks. Tommy has plenty of pieces to put together a good 9-10 man rotation

Yeah KJ looks like the real deal. We’re going to surprise some people this season for sure.

85-71 Arizona final score

It's early, but the Wildcats looked good. Nice ball movement, good defense. Boswell solid.

Good competition. Good game.

Stuff to clean up obviously but we looked well ahead of where I thought we’d be with so many new faces.

If we get any kind of consistent 3 pt shooting at the 38-40% level, this team will go a long way. I mean a looonnnggg way

There’s certainly plenty for our guys to work on, like the lack of a consistent 3 and letting Lebanon back in near the end. Glad we were able to pull it out to a more comfortable lead at the end.

Good trip overall, and now the long wait for the season to begin resumes.

KJ Lewis was amazing this game. I feel like the only person who has acknowledged how good KJ is at basketball.

Filip might be the best passer on the team. He doesn't have the ability to create like the guards do so he doesn't get to show it as often but on just passing ability I think it is between him and Jaden.

Pelle Larsson had 17 points, Keshad Johnson went for 14 points with seven rebounds and three assists, Caleb Love added 13 and KJ Lewis had 12 for the Wildcats. The UA shot 43.2 percent overall, 28 percent from 3, but made up for it by outrebounding Lebanon 42-28 and outscoring a team full of professionals 44-30 in the paint.

I hope Love doesn’t go hunting shots this year. He just needs to stick to what he does well.

I also hope CTL has the balls to sit him if he plays hero ball and takes bad shots.
