Only two games separate the Arizona Wildcats and the postseason.
The 12th-ranked Wildcats open up a home series Thursday night beginning with UCLA at 7 p.m. from McKale Center. The team will wrap up their regular season with a Saturday afternoon game against USC.
Adia Barnes spoke during Wednesday's weekly press conference about the state of her program ahead of the important matchups, including when she expects to get Cate Reese (dislocated shoulder) back from injury.
