The Blue team, which featured expected starters in the second half, beat the Red 59-45.

Bruce Pascoe For those who have closely followed the Arizona Wildcats’ transition into their second season under coach Tommy Lloyd, the Red-Blue Game offered virtually no surprises Friday.

So, if the same trick holds to form, that means second-half Blue team starters Kerr Kriisa, Pelle Larsson, Courtney Ramey, Tubelis and Ballo will be the Wildcats’ starting lineup to start the season. Veesaar and grad transfer forward Cedric Henderson came off the bench in the second half for the Blue, as they are expected to for the Wildcats this season.

In the first half, the Blue team’s big men jumped out right away even as the Red team took a 23-19 lead. Ballo had 10 points and seven rebounds before halftime, while Veesaar added six points. During player introductions, the loudest cheers arrived when UA coach Tommy Lloyd was introduced and after a young girl handed Kriisa his signature headband at midcourt.
