Schedule

Arizona's thirteen-game non-conference schedule had two road games, two neutral-site games, and nine home games.^[9] The team spent Thanksgiving in New York City for the 2013 NIT Season Tip-Off semifinal and championship rounds held at Madison Square Garden. Arizona was one of four regional hosts for the NIT Tip-Off's first and second rounds, the others being Duke, Alabama, and Rutgers.^[10]

In the unbalanced 18-game Pac-12 schedule, the Cats will face neither the Washington schools on the road nor the Los Angeles schools at home.^[11]
