The eleventh-ranked Arizona women’s basketball team heads into one last home game before spending the Thanksgiving holiday playing in the Paradise Jam in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. The game against Marist on Friday night isn’t the only storyline around the program this week, though.
Giving back to the community
Arizona head coach Adia Barnes has always stressed giving back to the community. Even at games, she wants her team to be part of Tucson. It’s evident in the way the players line up at the end of every home contest, win or lose, and run around the court, high-fiving the fans who come down to greet them.
