One of the Arizona Wildcats' most popular athletes ever received a raucous ovation at halftime Saturday.

Dressed in a red Arizona golf shirt, San Antonio Spurs forward Richard Jefferson was presented as one of the newest members of the UA Sports Hall of Fame.

Jefferson was one of six individuals, plus a swimming relay team, to be inducted into the hall.

Golfer Natalie Gulbis, diver Claire Febvay, swimmers Bob Jackson and Emily Mason and basketball player Luke Walton were in the class, as was the 2002 NCAA champion 800-meter freestyle relay team of Jessica Hayes, Mason, Sarah Tolar and Jenny Vanker McCuiston.

Neither Gulbis nor Walton, both successful pro athletes, attended Saturday night's game.
