No. 20 Arizona has seven available scholarship players, three of whom are freshmen, and so coach Sean Miller has a couple of new team policies.Youre not allowed to be a freshman and youre not allowed to foul, Miller said.The Wildcats (6-2) have little margin of error as they head into Tuesday nights game against UC Irvine (4-4) at McKale Center in Tucson, Ariz., starting at 9 p.m. ET.Arizona is coming off a 69-62 loss to No. 8 Gonzaga on Saturday in Los Angeles, which was the Wildcats first game without starting point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright, who suffered a high ankle sprain a game earlier.On Monday, Miller gave an expected timetable for Jackson-Cartwrights rehab -- eight weeks.We have to make the best of it and figure it out, and thats what were doing -- were figuring it out, Miller said of the on-court adjustments. A lot of players come to Arizona to have big, big roles. And, believe me, every one of them does right now.Arizonas top three scorers are freshmen -- 7-foot forward Lauri Markkanen (17.8 points per game), guard Kobi Simmons (11.6) and wing Rawle Alkins (11.5). Without Jackson-Cartwright, combo guard Kadeem Allen will be the primary point guard, backed by Simmons.Allen was the starting point for much of last season, but Miller prefers him off the ball and to have less on his plate offensively, which also enables the senior to focus more on being the teams defensive ace. But, right now, Miller has few options because of injuries and one unexplained absence.The absence belongs to sophomore guard Allonzo Trier, who has yet to suit up this season, although he did travel with the team to Los Angeles last weekend. Trier, who averaged 14.8 points last season, had not accompanied the team on two previous road trips.Miller said the NCAA permitted Trier to travel last weekend. Asked if that was a good sign, Miller answered, No. The only good sign is when he walks out there and plays.The school has not commented on the nature of the absence.As for the Anteaters, they are coming off a 58-55 victory at Santa Clara on Wednesday. Arizona beat Santa Clara 69-61 in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving.Senior guard Jaron Martin averages a team-high 13.8 points per game and 7-2 center Ioannis Dimakopoulos averages 11.4. Martin is playing almost 31 minutes per game, but Irvine will fairly evenly distribute minutes to eight other players.We rotate our players and I think thats the best way to manage a young team, UC-Irvine coach Russell Turner said. We have talent on this team and weve got to continue to play guys so their talents can emerge and build confidence.One of the young guys is freshman forward John Edgar Jr., whose father was a 6-6 center during Lute Olsons early days at Arizona. Edgar Sr. was a senior captain on the Wildcats first Pac-10 championship team in 1986.Edgar Jr. scored 13 points against Santa Clara.Another connection is UC-Irvine starting guard Max Hazzard, a redshirt freshman whose brother Jacob was an Arizona walk-on until completing his eligibility last season. Max Hazzard is averaging 6.3 points per game.The Wildcats beat the Anteaters 71-54 two seasons ago at McKale.Miller said Irvine is a well-organized team offensively and defensively with a lot of size, even after 7-6 center Mamadou Ndiaye completed his eligibility last season.Any team we play is going to be a great challenge, especially without Parker and with the limited numbers, Miller said. Those are our circumstances. Its up to us to improve and find a way. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falco ... an-Jersey/ . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falco ... lo-Jersey/ ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falco ... el-Jersey/ . It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falco ... ll-Jersey/ . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Hats/ . Belfort (24-10) needed just 77 seconds to down Henderson in the headlining bout of Saturdays "UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson" event at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Brazil. The fight served as a rematch of the pairs 2006 meeting, which Henderson won by decision. The Indiana Fever are hoping a lineup change pays dividends for the second game in a row.Indiana, coming off a 92-87 victory at Dallas, plays at Chicago on Wednesday afternoon. The Fever (6-9) and the Sky (6-8) are battling for the last couple of spots in the eight-team playoff as the league nears the halfway point of the season.Indiana coach Stephanie White inserted guard Erica Wheeler and forward Lynetta Kizer into the starting lineup against Dallas on Saturday. Wheeler scored 15 and Kizer added six as the Fever ended the Wings four-game winning streak.Were looking to find a lineup that can start the game really well on both ends of the floor, looking to find players who can give us a punch off the bench, and looking for the consistency to sustain that for a 40-minute ballgame, White said.It was just something that we did because we wanted to see what a different lineup looked like because we needed to find a way to start the game and third quarter better.Despite the win Saturday, Indiana has lost five of its past seeven games.ddddddddddddChicago has dropped four of five, including an 80-79 decision at the New York Liberty on Friday, when forward Elena Delle Donne scored a season-high 31 points. She leads the Sky with an average of 19.7 points per game.Guard Cappie Pondexter is the teams other double-digit scorer, averaging 13.6.The Fever also have two double-digit scorers -- forward Tamika Catchings (13.0) and guard Tiffany Mitchell (11.9).The Sky won the seasons first matchup against the Fever, 73-64 on June 10. Imani Boyette, a 6-foot-7 rookie center from Texas, posted her first career double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds.Indiana shoots just 27.3 percent from 3-point range -- ranking 11th in the 12-team league -- and that was a factor in the first meeting against Chicago. The Fever was only 4 of 24 from behind the arc in the loss. Guard Briann January led Indiana in that game with 17 points.
