Arizona women’s basketball gave up 63 points in its first exhibition against Division II West Texas A&M. The Wildcats allowed the Lady Buffs to shoot 44.6 percent overall and 46.7 percent from three-point distance. It did not please Arizona head coach Adia Barnes.

WTAMU is a very good DII team. It’s ranked No. 6 in the WBCA DII coaches poll, and Barnes said she hopes to play the Lady Buffs in future exhibitions because it’s a challenge. The defense still didn’t please her. So, that has been the focus of practice heading into the second exhibition game against CSU Los Angeles.
