Arizona women’s basketball is used to playing in front of huge crowds. Last season, the Wildcats led the Pac-12 and finished sixth in the nation in attendance with an average crowd of 7,822 fans at their home games. It won’t be much different when they travel to New Mexico for this Sunday’s matchup against the Lobos except that the large crowd will be rooting against them.
UNM was 19th in attendance last season. An average crowd of 4,191 fans came to cheer the Lobos on when they played in the Pit. It hasn’t changed this season.
“It’s very hard to play in the Pit,” Arizona head coach Adia Barnes said.
