Current or 2018 Arizona Wildcats:

Justin Coleman scored the 1,000th point of his career!

Shawn Poindexter caught a 22-yard touchdown in the East-West Shrine game. Of course, he did! He impressed many by helping the West beat the East 21-17. And his emotion told the story. From volleyball player to JUCO player to Arizona to the NFL Draft, his is one hell of a story. Poindexter scored two touchdowns in a game for four weeks straight last season.

Arizona Rita Softball stadium is getting a makeover including padding and shade. “It’s going to be a remarkable addition to this program, not only right now, but the future of the program. We’re excited that the New Rita will be at the very top of the list,” said Coach Candrea.

Cody Creason was No. 4 of the 2018 Top Graded Guards per @PFF_College at 71.2.

The GymCats are nationally ranked No. 23! Their motto this season is: Honor the legacy – Thrive throughout the challenge – Continue the climb.

Freshman Cate Reese earned Freshman of the week honors for her performances against the Oregon schools.

  • Averaged 17 points and shot 58 percent from the field against two top-10 teams on the road as Arizona fell to No. 5 Oregon (93-60) and No. 10 Oregon State (86-64) last week.
  • Recorded a season-high three steals against the Ducks, shot 3-for-3 at the line and drained one from deep to finish with 16 points in the game.
  • Tied for ninth in the Conference with 7.8 rebounds per game and fourth with a .854 free throw percentage this season.
  • Collects second Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honor this season after making program history as Arizona’s first-ever freshman honoree on Nov. 26.

Adia Barnes is building something great, just needs a little more time. Her man, former Arizona Basketball player Omar Thielemans was very proud of Cate and so are we.
