A few Pac-12 teams have already started conference play. This season, the women began moving to a schedule more like the men’s with league play starting in mid-December, then teams returning to nonconference play until the Pac-12 picked up again around the new year. Arizona was not one of the teams that was able to make that work this year, so they will start play on Dec. 29 against Arizona State.
Many of the teams have tested themselves already this season, so they sport a loss or two. Arizona is one of those teams, getting in games against Kansas and Baylor.
