It's time for the Wildcats to shine

During the next 48 hours, the Arizona Wildcats will get there chance to shine. First, it's the Arizona basketball team as they open their season at home tonight against Cal Poly, and secondly, we all know what's coming on Saturday night at Arizona Stadium as our Wildcats host UCLA.

Wins by both Wildcat teams would be perfect. I look for our basketball team to be a little sluggish at the start but should roll in the second half for an easy win. As for the football team, even with the great Ka'Deem Carey taking the majority of the snaps, I look for a close one. If, and it is a big if, the Arizona defense can keep the Bruins from entering the red zone, say less than three times, then the 'Cats could squeak out a victory and move (can you believe it?) to 7-2 on the season and with a 4-2 record in the conference would keep pace in the Pac-12 South.

Just for the fun of it, let's predict: Arizona 82-64 over Cal Poly and Arizona 31-28 over UCLA.

That would be nice!
