HUGE: Noah Fifita is COMING BACK! Arizona played POORLY and won by 19 vs Utah

Leif Thulin hosts the Locked On Wildcats podcast and discusses two major topics: Arizona Wildcats football and basketball. The episode opens with news about quarterback Noah Fifita returning to Tucson, and a recap of Arizona’s football performance in the Holiday Bowl against SMU, highlighting the significance of missing starters, SMU’s underrated quality as a team, and the Wildcats' defensive struggles and overall season success. In the basketball segment, Leif shares insights from attending Arizona’s road win over Utah, analyzes the team's interior scoring, rebounding dominance, defensive intensity, and coach Tommy Lloyd’s approach to building the roster around size. The episode wraps up with a look ahead to Arizona’s next basketball matchup against Kansas State.
