Arizonaโs womenโs basketball team received 12 votes (from 12 voters) in the Pac-12 womenโs basketball preseason poll. Thatโs as humbling as it gets.
Niya Buttsย has gone 28-80 in her six conference seasons at Arizona, but thatโs not the worst six-year stretch in school history. From 1987-92, UA womenโs basketball teams went 21-87 in league games.
It doesnโt have to be that way.ย Joan Bonviciniโsย UA womenโs basketball teams went to seven NCAA tournaments in a nine-year stretch, 1997-2005. It can be done.
The Wildcats will stage their annual Media Day on Monday at McKale Center. Unlike media days for UA football and menโs basketball, the womenโs media session will include a free lunch.
It would be nice if someday soon UA womenโs hoops doesnโt need to serve lunch to draw a captive audience.
