Veesaar, who plays in the power forward position, delivered a career-best performance, scoring 15 points in 18 minutes (two-pointers 5/5, three-pointers 1/2, free throws 2/3), grabbing six rebounds, dishing out four assists, and recording one block.

Arizona started a new era in the Big 12 Conference with the 90–81 victory over TCU.

One of Veesaar's assists saw him lob the ball near the hoop to allow Carter Bryant to slam it home with both hands.

Post-match, Veesaar said: "It feels great to win our first conference game. We played well as a team, and that helped us throughout the game."

"It's good to start with a win. We've had a challenging season, but this victory gives us momentum," he added.
