Context Clues
Chris Mills played for Arizona (Pac-10) from 1990-93.
A reader commented:
“Joseph Blair is #50 for U of A”
Another reader commented:
“Based on SaintOrm's post that the other UA player is Joseph Blair, the game had to be during the 1992-93 season when he and Chris Mills overlapped.
Looking at their schedule that season, the only team that had a P at the beginning of their name was the Providence Friars: https://arizonawildcats.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule/1992-93
The video of that game, played at the Civic Center, is on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3Ucsgcpnlk “
If all the above it true we believe this photo to be from Tue, Dec 22, 1992 University of Arizona Wildcats @ Providence Friars, played in the Providence Civic Center.
According to the broadcast of that game (youtube) the officials were: John Clougherty, Ted Valentine, and John Cahill
Referees on the game: John Clougherty, Ted Valentine, and John Cahill
There is an Official Scorer at the table in stripes, still yet to be identified!
