Tonight was the first Arizona exhibition against West Texas A&M.
Won 86 - 63.
Observations -
I expect good times ahead. The talent level and quickness was awesome.
There is another exhibition game but it conflicts with a zoom program.

- Lauren Ware was out, with a brace on her knee. The paper suggested that she had banged knees and had swelling, but was ok for a regular game. I'll withhold judgement, but she was limping. Everyone else played at least 11 minutes
- Jade Loville is the real deal. Big compliments in the paper, wants to be a pro and approaching it like a business. Providing leadership. Adia is enraptured. Leading scorer tonight, looked really good. Cate Reese looked particularly good as well.
- That said - very one on one. Arizona 3 point shooting was awful and a lot of short-armed layups. That said, the opponents shooting improved every quarter, from awful to outstanding, which is what kept the score closer than expected.
- Always amazing to see the "pencil arms" - on the freshmen and the non-D1 teams.
