Arizona Wildcats Women’s Basketball Releases Inaugural 12 Conference Schedule
The Arizona Wildcats women's basketball team will stay in their own time zone to open Big 12 play, as they make a trip to BYU on Dec. 21 and then host Utah on Dec. 30th, as the full league slate was released on Thursday.
It's the Wildcats first season as a Big 12 member, and they'll play 18 league games leading up to their first trip to the Big 12 Conference tournament in Kansas City, Mo., from March 5-10.
Teams will play three opponents home and away while facing six teams only at home and six opponents only on the road for a total of 18 Conference games. Opponents were selected based on a combination of geography, historical results and a poll of the coaches to best balance the schedule in terms of travel and competitiveness.
All dates are subject to change and complete television designations will be released at a later date.
Coach Adia Barnes enters her eighth season leading the program. She and the Wildcats went 18-16 last year, with an 8-10 record in their final run through the Pac-12 Conference. After falling to USC in the second round of the Pac-12 Tournament, Arizona got into the NCAA Tournament and won a first four game against Auburn before falling to nationally-ranked Syracuse in the first round.
