Hey Knight, Barnes has Arizona looking a lot better. How many years away are they from mid-PAC12? Reese was a great recruit! I think the over/under is 1 year. Am I too optimistic? You have season tix, correct?
Yes, starting last year we popped for floor seats (they are not expensive) and currently have the ones closest to mid court across from the Arizona bench. Last year the TV table was literally right next to us, but they reconfigured a bit larger gap. Unfortunately, with my wife's poor health, we only made 4 games last year. This year I committed to attend as much as possible, and have made the exhibitions and first 2 games alone (but with her blessing).
Very impressed with Reese and McDonald. That said, while I expect them to improve each year, a solid mid-conference performance is problematical. It isn't this year, I suppose it could be next year. A lot depends on our 4 (all foreign) recruits about whom I know nothing. It may take another year past that.
While I like her as a player a lot, Lucia Alonso worries me. She is solid, but I'm not sure dynamic enough to lead (plus, she's a junior). Yet, she is our best true point guard.
