Arizona women’s basketball tries to hand UNLV its first loss of the season

Arizona had to make some accommodations if it wanted to play this weekend. The Wildcats had already been on an 11-day hiatus that head coach Adia Barnes was unhappy with, but she felt she had to do it in order to go to a strong tournament in the Bahamas.

“I do the scheduling and that’s not what I wanted, but I could not fill a game,” Barnes said. “Because that tournament’s right before Thanksgiving, so it’s really tough. And no one’s gonna play you that next week here because everybody’s in Thanksgiving tournaments. So it was a hard schedule, but I wanted to go to that tournament because I thought the Bahamas is good.
