- The Wildcast Podcast / Arizona Daily Star
- Updated
Arizona Daily Star correspondent PJ Brown joins Justin Spears and Dominic Baciocco in studio to analyze the UA women's basketball team's historic run in the WNIT. The Wildcats drew 10,135 fans â a program record â for the Final Four matchup. Is Tucson capable of packing the house for a sellout? PJ, Justin and Dominic also take a look at life in 1996, the previous season UA won the WNIT, and go through over-under scenarios for Saturday's game.
