Arizona announced its non-conference schedule on Monday and it is highlighted by home games with Gonzaga and Michigan and December road games at UTEP and UNLV. The Wildcats will also play in the Maui Invitational along with BYU, Chaminade, Kansas State, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Purdue and San Diego State.
