MCKALE IS THE PLACE TO BE THIS WEEK

Coach Barnes and Arizona Women's Basketball are off to the best start in program history with a mark of 13-1 and a No. 18 ranking in this week's AP poll. The Wildcats, owners of the nation's longest active winning streak earlier this season, are back in McKale Center for two of the biggest games in college basketball.
 
The Cats will welcome No. 2 Oregon and No. 3 Oregon State, beginning with the Beavers on Friday, Jan. 10 at 8 p.m. (MST). The pair of games are some of the biggest marquee matchups in the country, and McKale Center will be the place to be! We have a new Starter Pack ticket option for our fans, which includes tickets to this week's games as well as Arizona State for just $21 with youth and senior pricing as well.
 
Southern Arizona's support of Arizona Women's Basketball is special. We've nearly tripled our home attendance this non-conference season from last year, and the environment for Coach Barnes and her team in McKale is one of the best in the country. With the Ducks, Beavers and Sun Devils all coming to town, there's no better time to Bear Down with the Wildcats in McKale Center. We can't wait to see everyone this week.
 
WELCOMING NEW WILDCATS



During our holiday break, our athletics department and Arizona Football welcomed a pair of new coaches. We want to welcome defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads and defensive line coach Stan Eggen to the Arizona family on behalf of Wildcats everywhere! With our two new coaches and our finished our fall #BlockA20 Signing Day, we are all excited for spring practice, which is just around the corner. Arizona Athletics is accepting season ticket deposits for the 2020 season for $75. Thank you for your support, Bear Down and Go Cats!
 
COME CATCH MORE HOOPS



Saturday was an electric night in McKale Center with Coach Miller and the Wildcats' dominating victory over Arizona State in front of a sold-out crowd. The energy was fantastic and the passion in the stands was dynamic. This was an impressive opener for Pac-12 play.

The Family Four pack is a perfect package for families with four tickets and concession vouchers for just $95. Fans can also take advantage of the Pick-Two Pack, which gets you into any two of our Thursday night games with $40 upper level seats and $100 mid-level area seats.
