Mike Candrea called the Florida State series a midterm for the Arizona Wildcats, seeing it as opportune time to see how his team stacks up against an elite team in a three-game series, something that will become the norm when Pac-12 play begins this weekend.
When all was said and done, the 12th-ranked Wildcats (18-7) lost two of three against the top-ranked Seminoles. They dropped the series opener 5-3, won game two 11-3, then fell 4-3 in the series finale.
Candrea gave his team a B for its performance.
“I give us a B, just because I like the way played,” he said.
