Improved 3-point shooting highlights Arizona women’s basketball’s exhibition vs. Eastern New Mexico

Arizona women’s basketball held its first exhibition Sunday against Eastern New Mexico, and Adia Barnes had a simple answer when asked what she took away from it.

“Well, we like to shoot the 3,” the UA coach said after the 85-38 win.

Barnes has talked about her team needing to make strides in that area for over a year now, and its improvement showed Sunday.

Not only did the Wildcats like to shoot 3s, they converted them at a high rate. Arizona went 15 for 33 (46 percent) from behind the arc, a far cry from the 30.
