Sports Illustrated magazine is on campus this weekend to do a feature on Arizona senior guard Miles Simon for the upcoming college basketball preview edition.

Alexander Wolff, one of SI's senior writers, conducted the interview last night and plans on meeting with Lute Olson today. Simon, who turned the NBA down to come back to Arizona for his senior season, leads a Wildcat team that returns all five starters from the National Championship squad. Whether SI will choose Arizona as its preseason No. 1 remains to be seen.

Briefly

The men's and women's Arizona water polo teams are holding a tournament on campus this weekend.

Months, since the Arizona football team has won consecutive games, dating back to October/November 1995. In back-to-back road games, the Wildcats defeated Washington State, 24-14 on Oct. 28 and followed the win by edging Oregon State 14-9 on Nov. 4. Meanwhile, the ninth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes have won 13 of their last 14 games and have not lost back-to-back contests since September 1992, to Wisconsin and Illinois.
