PREVIEW: Arizona Wildcats Offense Faces REVOLUTION—Will Tommy Lloyd ABANDON Interior Dominance?

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Arizona Wildcats target back-to-back Final Four appearances—can rising star Caleb Holt and key transfer Derek Dixon keep the momentum alive? Tommy Lloyd’s squad faces new challenges as they replace standout performers like Jaden Bradley and Brayden Burries but return defensive anchors Mo Krivas and Ivan Karchenkov to maintain their bully-ball identity.

Key storylines include Holt’s offensive ceiling, Dixon’s transition to lead guard after Bradley’s Big 12 Player of the Year campaign, and the team’s shift toward a more balanced attack with increased three-point shooting. The discussion explores Arizona’s projected starting five, position battles involving RJ Godfrey and Cam Holmes, and the critical impact of preseason exhibitions and a loaded non-conference slate including showdowns with UCLA, UConn, and a Maui Invitational title hunt. Will Arizona’s mix of battle-tested returnees and blue-chip talent be enough to reign atop the Big 12 and reach college basketball’s biggest stage again?

Kevin Thomas, Damon Fairall — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 01:31:28 GMT

The Arizona Wildcats dropped the first game of their Baltic trip vs Lithuania “B” but rebounded with a big win over Ukraine today. Tommy Lloyd made some changes and it worked. Today we breakdown what was different for Arizona and what we can look forward to for Saturday’s game.

Is Ivan Kharchenkov okay after he rolled his ankle? Did Caleb Holt show more in this one than he did last game? Is Cameron Holmes ready for the big time? Is Ugnius Jarusevicius the backup big Arizona needs? and what did Bryce James show in his first start for Arizona?

PLUS! We have postgame sound from Tommy Lloyd!
