Arizona's Sam Thomas, Cate Reese named to preseason All-Pac-12 team

Arizona standouts Sam Thomas and Cate Reese were named to the preseason All-Pac-12 women's basketball team Wednesday morning. 

Both forwards helped lead the Wildcats to the program's first-ever Final Four and national championship appearance, and return this season as featured players for Adia Barnes' squad. 

Thomas, a 6-foot senior from Las Vegas, earned All-Pac-12, All-Pac-12 Defensive Team, CoSIDA First Team Academic All-American and Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors during the 2021 season. 

The 6-2 Reese, a former McDonald's All-American, received the All-Pac-12 nod after averaging 10.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. 

Arizona has one final exhibition game against Arizona Christian on Friday at McKale Center at 6:30 p.m., with the season opener against Cal State Northridge set for Tuesday at 5 p.m.
