Arizona head coach Adia Barnes and her players had been urging the Wildcat faithful to fill McKale on Feb. 4 since minutes after the team lost at Oregon. That message was heard loud and clear by 10,413 fans who packed the arena into the upper bowl. It was a successful white-out. One where the arena is full and the team wins going away 63-48.
The Wildcats had a well-rounded team effort, getting points from nine players and seeing all 15 enter the game before the final horn. They were led by Cate Reese with 13 points, but the Wildcats got a big boost from the bench.
