Tommy Lloyd and the Arizona Wildcats<\/a> played a handful of games in Lithuania this summer – and they took the floor in late September for the annual Red-Blue Showcase – but this Tuesday will be the first game against an opponent at McKale in 225 days as the college basketball season draws near.<\/p>\n

The first of Arizona’s three exhibition games – all at home – will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 13, when Chris Gerlufsen and the San Francisco Dons of the West Coast Conference come to town.<\/p>\n

Arizona and San Francisco have not played a regular-season game against each other since 1972, although coach Lloyd has plenty of familiarity with the Dons thanks to his 20-year tenure under Mark Few at Gonzaga<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Plus, USF assistant coach Kyle Bankhead played for Gonzaga while Lloyd was there from 2000 to 2004, sparking another connection between these two programs.<\/p>\n

USF has long been among the most successful non-Gonzaga programs in the West Coast Conference, making the NCAA Tournament in 2022 under then-head coach Todd Golden. Prior to Golden – who won a championship at Florida in 2023-24 – San Francisco was coached by Kyle Smith, who is now at Stanford.<\/p>\n

Now the program is led by Chris Gerlufsen, who won 20+ games in each of his first three seasons before injuries ravaged the Dons last year, resulting in a 17-16 campaign and a disappointing 8-10 finish in league play.<\/p>\n

USF comes into 2026-27 ranked No. 163 at KenPom – 7th in the WCC – with a very new-look roster that includes Gonzaga transfer center Ismaila Diagne, St. Thomas transfer wing Ben Oosterbaan, Auburn transfer guard Abdul Bashir, and returning forward Ndewedo Newbury.<\/p>\n

Gerlufsen is an analytics-driven coach and San Francisco has a new roster, which should make this an interesting matchup for coach Lloyd – although Arizona’s talent should lead to a comfortable victory regardless.<\/p>\n

Arizona will host three teams in exhibition games this season: San Francisco on Oct. 13, San Diego State<\/a> on Friday, Oct. 16, and Eastern Washington and Lloyd’s former boss Dan Monson on Friday, Oct. 23.<\/p>\n

For Arizona, Idaho State transfer forward Evan Otten is expected to play after missing the Red-Blue Showcase, while international freshman Endi Aiyamenkhue will sit out with a lower body injury.<\/p>\n
