GCU, New Mexico and New Mexico State all turned down a chance to face the Arizona Wildcats, so Adia Barnes is planning to gauge the interest of another regional opponent on Wednesday—the UNLV Lady Rebels.
A game makes sense for a lot of reasons. Las Vegas is only a seven-hour bus ride from Tucson, meaning travel costs are small and the risks of catching the coronavirus are reduced. Always important during this pandemic.
There’s also a major family connection. The Rebels have Bailey and Jade Thomas, the younger sisters of UA forward Sam Thomas, and a reunion would mean the world to them.
