Arizona women’s basketball coach Adia Barnes commended the Tucson community Sunday for the way it has supported her team through its first two WNIT home games.
3,265 fans flocked to McKale Center for Thursday’s win over Idaho State, then 3,524 more were in attendance Sunday when the Wildcats routed Pacific to advance to the Sweet 16. Both marks are close to the 3,686 season high the Wildcats set vs. ASU earlier in the season.
“It’s great thing for me and a special feeling when I walk into the arena at 9 in the morning or 8:45 in the morning and there’s a line waiting to get tickets, asking me why isn’t the ticket office open,” Barnes said.
