Just over four weeks ago it was announced PJC would be out for up to eight weeks with a high ankle sprain. Earlier this week, during Sean Miller’s weekly press conference, he mentioned PJC was ahead of schedule. And that couldn’t have come at a better time.

Arizona opens up Pac-12 play this evening on the road against Cal. With the Wildcats still only using a 7-man rotation, the first conference game on the road was already going to be tough, so having PJC’s veteran leadership back is a huge plus for this team.
It will be interesting to see how much Miller uses PJC tonight. You don’t want to push or ask too much of PJC in his first game back. Hopefully Arizona won’t have to lean heavily on PJC, allowing him to ease back into things, but his presence on the court alone is a big sigh of relief for the fans.
The Wildcats and Golden Bears tip-off at 11:00 p.m. EST. You can catch the game on ESPN2.
BEARDOWN!
