The Wildcats, along with Clemson, Oregon State and Tulane, were in Spain for an exhibition tour.

Arizona arrived in Spain last week and was set to play its third and final exhibition game on Friday, Aug. 18.

A UA spokesman said the Wildcats will not play that game and the school is working on travel plans to return home.

There will not be an announcement as to when the team will fly back to Tucson for safety precautions.

Great news.  I was worried because I knew their hotel was near the site of the attack.  My heart goes out to the many killed and injured due to this senseless attack.

Probably a good idea for them to come home early.

It's crazy how small PJC is compared to everyone else.  Even Barcello looks way bigger than PJC.  I'm hoping Miller puts Barcello in when PJC's height disadvantage becomes a problem.

PJC makes up for it with his long arms.  Hes got like a 6'2" wingspan.  But yea I worry about his all around size disadvantage sometimes too.  Doubt he weighs 170.
