A team can recover from a 72-67 loss on the road. It’s difficult to know whether Arizona women’s basketball can recover from its other loss on Sunday afternoon. Star forward Cate Reese was injured with 6:59 to go in the Wildcats’ game against Washington State. It appeared to be a severe shoulder injury.
The game was a shootout between two teams known more for defense. Arizona shot 47 percent from the field for the game while Washington State hit 54 percent of their shots. Both were productive from outside with the Cougars hitting 9 of 16 and the Wildcats connecting on 7 of 17 from beyond the arc.
