It’s a busy weekend for Arizona women’s basketball. Because head coach Adia Barnes and Arizona State head coach Natasha Adair couldn’t find another date for their first rivalry game, the two teams will both play three games in five days. The Territorial Cup matchup will be the first.
It’s not a situation that Barnes is fond of.
“I didn’t agree with it, and I stated my disagreement, but it is what it is,” Barnes said. “I can’t control that but it’s not what I would have chosen at all.”
Barnes said that one reason they can never start the main part of the Pac-12 season at home is the Arizona Bowl.
