The record crowds passing through the doors of McKale Center for the Arizona Wildcats’ run through the WNIT are turning heads. At every press conference, coach Adia Barnes and her players are asked about the emotions they experience playing in front of such huge numbers.
Arizona set a program record for attendance at a women’s basketball game with 10,135 fans at Wednesday’s semifinal. The program is shooting for 12,000 fans at Saturday’s championship, which would be about 1,000 fewer than Indiana drew for last season’s championship game.
The buzz around the team is certainly exciting.
