2020-2021 season

Cats are a top-5 team. Guess if the men's program goes on probation, the women will be the team to watrch.

Adia Barnes is going to have so many options in the backcourt. McDonald and Pellington in the backcourt together will be explosive.

So glad Aari made the right decision.

Who would have thought Adia would wake up the sleeping giant that is AZ women’s basketball. Who knew the next Sean Elliott would be in a mighty mite package. So exciting. I do hope She realizes all her dreams as coming back is more of a function of the disparity of pay between the men’s and women’s game as anything else. We the fans benefit for sure

Adia didn’t come to fuck around.

I wouldn't count on there being a season next year sadly.

Nothing shows for me, could someone either summarize or drop a link to the actual tweet?

I meant I literally don't see anything, so I assumed it's a tweet. So...who is "he" and is that 4th in the country?

He’s got Arizona 4th behind South Carolina, UCONN, and Stanford, and ahead of Baylor.

now to see if the women's team will get to actually play any games in the next couple years

Sounds like there could be another commitment.

Huge news, Bendu Yeaney has been given immediate eligibility. She also has been given an extra year. She now has two years of eligibility instead of one.

Ostensibly yes, but maybe it’s for the best to keep him busy with crossword puzzles or whatever he does to occupy his time.

They should schedule some Div III or NAIA men's teams to play.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Wed Nov 18, 2020 12:55 pm

Adia did a Zoom speaking engagement with my company’s woman’s network and I listened in.

She’s a superwoman. Now she’s doing Heeke’s job too.

2-0.

I so wish covid didn't exist. McKale woulda been fucking loud for yesterday's game

TheCatInTheHat · Post by **TheCatInTheHat** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 1:16 pm

First of all, a big congrats to the women. Ranked in the Top Ten themselves, and they pick up a win over a top ten UCLA team, absent our normal home court advantage. I was out and about on Friday night, so I listened to the game on radio on the way home, where I was finally able to catch the last 5 minutes or so on TV. The Arizona radio PbP guy, Derrick Palmer, was extremely outspoken about the officiating, which is a problem in every sport in the Pac-12. He was going nuts about the one-sided calls. I didn't really notice anything egregious once I got home, but if anybody watched the whole game, I'd be curious on what that situation looked like. (Meanwhile, I bumped into a couple of the UCLA gals at the Starbucks on University on Saturday, so I wished them good luck in their game today at ASU.)

TheCatInTheHat · Post by **TheCatInTheHat** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 1:45 pm

Okay, never mind about Palmer's view of officiating, as that appears to be his style. Here are some statistics in the early going (not including the USC game.) 6-5 Freshman Lauren Ware is an early contributor.

Lauren Ware is the inside presence that this team needed.

I just keep finding myself wishing we were in a normal year. McKale would be rocking every night for this team

TheCatInTheHat · Post by **TheCatInTheHat** » Sat Dec 19, 2020 11:36 am

The Cats got off to a slow shooting start on the road, and Colorado jumped out to an early lead, before Arizona chipped away at it and eventually took the lead. Colorado was banging and grabbing like mad and kind of banking on the refs assigned to their home court not calling all of it, which was a good guess. Conversely, at a few key moments down the stretch with Arizona clinging to a narrow lead, the Buffalo women got some phantom/gift calls to shoot nice easy free throws to fuel their comeback. Fortunately, it worked out and the gals got out of Boulder with the win. Hopefully they can complete the mountain schools sweep at SLC on Sunday.

Well if I ten right we lost at CU last year. I think this team is on a good trajectory abd should be peaking at the right time

They did lose at CU last year - I was there. Aari didn't play and Kate had a horrible game which was later attributed to her diabetes.

#6 Cats dismantle Utah to complete the sweep and go 6-0. Next up, a Wednesday tussle with Idaho at McKale, followed by the Bay Area schools after the break. I've got to believe the New Year's Day game against #1 Stanford (rematch of our win last year at McKale) will at least be on Pac-12 Network.

Is it March yet? This team gives me the same feeling as some of the men's teams that had a good run in the tournament.
