Wildcats dominate in rivalry game, beating Sun Devils 84-66 on Thursday night at McKale Center.
Just a few short years ago, Arizona was in rebuilding mode. Now, it's Arizona State with a new coach — Natasha Adair — and a bunch of new players.
This time, it was a much different story as the Wildcats dominated from end to end Thursday night at McKale Center. Arizona took a quick 16-4 lead in the first five minutes and never let up in an 84-66 victory in the Pac-12 home opener in front of 9,495 fans. "We're walking into mentally into going three games in five days. So how are we going to respond? I don't know," Barnes said."I didn't know what to expect exactly with ASU because there are so different than before when Charlie was there. Natasha has a totally different system with so many new players. I didn't really know what to expect from us. I'm still learning a lot of things about our team, but I thought we've improved in a lot of areas.
"I'm very strong and I can guard anybody on the court," Martinez said."Play defense is the most important thing that we had to do to help the team."Pellington added 14 points, going 6 of 8 from the field. She also dished four assists and grabbed two steals. Two other Wildcats scored in double figures: Cate Reese with 13 points and Loville with an efficient 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting. Loville also dished four assists.
