LAS VEGAS — To support Arizona’s injured point guard Kerr Kriisa, Wildcats fans were given white headbands — a nod to Kerr’s signature game day look — as they walked in the doors of T-Mobile Arena.
Kriisa sprained his ankle at the end of Arizona’s quarterfinal game against Stanford and was seen leaving the arena Thursday in a wheelchair. He showed up to Friday’s game in a walking boot and crutches, and did not play vs. the Buffs.
“We love Kerr. He’s the heart of the team and hope he gets back soon,” UA fan Bates Butler, 77, said outside of the arena with the headband on to go along with a red Arizona shirt.

Approximately 3,000 headbands were handed out at the entrance thanks to a group of UA employees and some last-minute phone calls made by UA Foundation President and CEO JP Roczniak who’s in Vegas supporting the team.

Roczniak got a call early Friday morning from Mark Miller, Dean of Arizona’s College of Law, who had the idea of getting fans to wear headbands suggested to him. Miller asked Roczniak to find a way to get as many headbands as possible before Arizona played Colorado.
