    If you haven’t noticed there is a special bond between @ArizonaWBB & the fans. I have not covered another team where the fans truly feel like they are an extension of the team. They are part of the family atmosphere that @AdiaBarnes has built in Tucson

    If you are doing this, don’t forget about Selection Monday! Women’s basketball teams worked hard, too—especially those who earned host sites. This is about ALL student-athletes, not only the men

    BIG NEWS for @ArizonaWBB as @Paris_Clark2022 tells her new teammates after yesterday’s win that she is a Wildcat. She joins @maya_nnaji @kailyngilbert and @LemyahH in Class if 2022 that will most likely be the highest rated recruiting class in program history

    My news: I have joined @TucsonStar as a full time sports reporter! This means more in-depth coverage of @ArizonaWBB @ArizonaSoftball, etc. This opportunity to join the incredible @TheWildcaster staff is my dream come true. Thanks to my editors, esp. @ryan_finley for everything!

    So, just so everyone understands how @ArizonaWBB Class of 2023 is shaping up: ESPN ranks Montaya is No. 9 overall (forward at 6-2) and @BreyaC2023 is No. 10 overall (post at 6-4) and, of course, both are 5 stars. @AdiaBarnes is working on another top recruiting class

    It’s official … @AariMcdonald is back at UA as @ArizonaWBB director of recruiting — during her WNBA offseason. She’s still a member of the Atlanta Dream. Here’s the low down with quotes from Aari and @AdiaBarnes

    From what I can tell @ArizonaWBB was the only team playing in the Battle 4 Atlantis that took time to give back to the community while they’ve been in Nassau. Sometimes we think all programs are made the same, do the same things. They aren’t.

    Wow! Just think before @AdiaBarnes became @ArizonaWBB coach - just heading into 7th season - maybe 50 ppl attended games and that’s a generous estimate. Look what Adia has built in the Tucson community

    Biggest take away from today’s press conferences: Media has to do a better job of covering Women’s Basketball. It is is @MarchMadnessWBB & I am the only reporter in the room talking to Arizona, Holy Cross & West Virginia. It’s 2023 & these young women deserve so much more.

    Adia Barnes came home to Tucson 7 short years ago and completely changed the trajectory of this program. She’s taken all of us such a magical ride
