Arizona women’s basketball escaped the upset bid by Washington on Friday evening. Things don’t get easier with Washington State coming to McKale Center on Sunday.
The biggest question heading into this weekend’s games was whether the Cougars would have star guard Charlisse Leger-Walker. The junior has had to return to her native New Zealand twice this season due to family issues occurring at home. Those issues have forced her to miss four conference games.
Even without her, the Cougs can be a threat. At the end of December, they fell to then-No. 11 Utah by just five points at Beasley Coliseum.
