The Arizona men's basketball program has scheduled its Red-Blue Showcase for Sept. 26 at McKale Center.
The Wildcats' annual preseason celebration, intended for fans and recruits alike, will also include a "Post Move" postgame party. While UA offered no details yet, last year's event included a game appearance by former UA football standout Rob Gronkowski and concert appearances by Shaquille "DJ Diesel" O'Neal and Mix Master Mike of Beastie Boys fame.
Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd, moonlighting as DJ Tomm-E, works the stage with DJ Mix Master Mike during the Red-Blue Post/Move after party concert on Bear Down Field, Oct. 3, 2025, in Tucson.
The Wildcats are likely to celebrate their 2025-26 NCAA Final Four appearance while introducing highly rated newcomers, including North Carolina transfer Derek Dixon and Washington transfer JJ Mandaquit, along with freshmen Caleb Holt and Cam Holmes.
