The starting lineup and rotations were the biggest questions for the Arizona Wildcats heading into the season. Head coach Adia Barnes was asked if she was going to have any hockey-style line changes. She said that it was likely, and held true to her word in the Wildcats’ 84-25 exhibition victory over Division II Eastern New Mexico.
The first starting lineup of the season was one that didn’t look like it had a lot of shooting. In the backcourt, it was Shaina Pellington and Bendu Yeaney. Sam Thomas, Cate Reese, and Lauren Ware were featured in the frontcourt.
