Comix It Up brings nerds together

M

Victoria Pereira

aker House and the Tucson Comic Con have partnered up to bring together artists, vendors, cosplayers, collectors and fans of all things comic at the monthly Comix It Up event tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Maker House.

Comix It Up is a miniature version of the full-fledged Tucson Comic Con that happens once a year at the Tucson Convention Center. It is a place for the comic book community to come together outside of a typical convention.

“It’s an excuse once a month to hang out with people that you have something in common with,” said Mike Olivares, the founder and director of Tucson Comic Con. Although the event is geared towards the fans who attend, Olivares also likes to spotlight local artists.

Conventions give comic book creators, cosplay designers, prop makers and other artists the opportunity to display their work and sell their pieces to others who share similar interests. There aren’t many places for these artists to locally exhibit their work besides the Tucson Comic Con, but that event happens annually so creators are limited. With Comix It Up, artists are able to connect with their buyers on a monthly

The Daily Wildcat is an independent student newspaper published Monday through Friday during the fall and spring semesters at the University of Arizona. It is distributed on campus and throughout Tucson with a circulation of 10,000. The function of the Daily Wildcat is to disseminate news to the community and to encourage an exchange of ideas. The Daily Wildcat was founded under a different name in 1899.

basis. The convention, which hosted its seventh annual event this past November, draws a large crowd and provides an enjoyable, family-friendly environment for fans and artists alike. Olivares wanted to do more than just the annual convention and thought the community would be interested in more as well.

In the spring of 2014, Olivares pitched the idea for the monthly gathering to his high school friend Mark Rios, the program manager at Maker House. The idea was a hit and in May, the first Comix It Up was held.

The gathering has been held every month since and each time there has been something special. Some months have held panels with local artists about how to self-publish on a budget. Nonprofit cosplay groups who visit the local children’s hospitals while in character often attend the mini-convention. Local sculptor Brian Petty even demonstrated his craft by making Star Trek badges that began as a mere lump of clay.

“Nothing ever goes exactly how you think it’s going to in Tucson,” Rios said.

THE DAILY WILDCAT

This specific event is particularly special because of the introduction of the Nerdcore Swapmeet.

“We really don’t have any kind of a regular swap downtown,” Rios said. “One big thing about a swap meet is that it really builds the community in that area.”

The swap meet will be located in the courtyard of Maker House, a space that has gone unused during the monthly event.

The increased amount of space will allow the large amount of people interested in the event to set up tables and be involved, without the spatial limitations of an indoors area.

Swappers are expected to bring everything from classic video games to Pokémon cards to countless collectibles from fandoms ranging from “Star Trek” to Marvel.

The experience of Comix It Up is something that Olivares and Rios believe everyone will enjoy whether they attend conventions religiously or didn’t even know they existed. The event is a mix of countless different fandoms and universes that all come together to create an exciting, creative space for the comic community.

BETWEEN THE LINES The New York Times best-selling author and Tucson resident J.A. Jance shares the details of her prolific crime writing career in anticipation for her latest novel

J

Ian Martella

oin the Tucson Sisters in Crime this Saturday for lunch and conversation with The New York Times’ top-10 best-selling author Judith Ann Jance. A seasonal Tucson local, Jance will be at the Viscount Suite Hotel off of Broadway Boulevard from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. discussing the intimate details of her life as a teacher, mother and — ­ despite the odds — distinguished author.

According to her website, the desire to be a writer came early to Jance.

“As a second-grader,” Jance writes, “I was introduced to Frank Baum’s ‘Wizard of Oz’ series.”

Shortly after finishing the first book in Baum’s series, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” Jance said she knew her life had a purpose.

“I read the first one … and knew from that moment on that I wanted to be a writer,” Jance writes.

However quickly inspiration came, the realization of Jance’s dream would take much longer.

In her online bio, Jance explains how, when she was attending the UA from 1962 to 1964, the sexist and selfish attitudes of various men denied her access to both the school’s creative writing program and, a few years after graduation, publishing opportunities. “[The] professor who taught creative writing at the [UA] in those days thought girls ‘ought to be teachers or nurses’ rather than writers,” Jance explained.

“After he refused me to the program, I did the next best thing: I married a man who was also in the program that was closed to me.”

What seemed like the best choice to Jance turned out to stop her from pursuing her career as a writer. She received notification in 1968 from a New York publishing house interested in bringing one of her children’s stories to print and she chose to put her “writing ambitions on hold,” in order to stay married, according to her website.

“Despite the fact that he was allowed in the creative writing program,” Jance writes, “he never had anything published prior to or after his death from chronic alcoholism at age [42]. That didn’t keep him from telling me, however, that there would be only one writer in our family, and he was it.”

Jance’s former husband would later serve as part of the inspiration for the character of J.P. Beaumont, the central character in a 21-book detective series who takes his physical appearance from a Pima County homicide detective pursuing the Charles Schmid investigation in the ’70s. Jance published the first of these books, “Until Proven Guilty,” two years after her former husband’s death.

The author’s opponent, her would-be professor at the UA, also received his mention in Jance’s work, via the character of the “evil creative writing professor in ‘Hour of the Hunter’ and ‘Kiss of the Bees.’”

Jance published a number of other books as

well, including 17 books in the “Joanna Brady” series, 10 books in the “Ali Reynolds” series and four separate thrillers that take from Jance’s time on the Tohono O’odham reservation.

For more information, visit Tucson Sisters in Crime’s event page and join Jance in celebration of her accomplishments as a best-selling author at the Viscount Suite Hotel on Saturday.

his Saturday and Sunday, the Tucson Pima Arts Council will be hosting “Place, Poiesis and Indigeneity,” a weekend of workshops focused on Native American culture and dance.

Native American dancer Emily Johnson will lead two dance workshops at 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. in a series called, “Awareness, Environment and Identity.”

The following day, Diné poet Sherwin Bitsui will present a writing workshop, “Locations — A conversation about artistic practices,” from 1-3 p.m. “[The workshops] provide professional development for part of the community,” said Roberto Bedoya, executive director of the Tucson Pima Arts Council.

Johnson, an Alaskan native and Minneapolis resident, is a current fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Minnesota and a 2014 Fellow at the Robert

Rauschenberg Residency. Johnson, of Yup’ik descent from South Central Alaska, says she is influenced by her heritage when she choreographs her dances.

Johnson captivates her viewers with uniquely revealing performances and encourages the audience to connect its five senses to the environment. Blending the distinction between performance and daily life offers her audience unique insight into their cultural backgrounds as well as highlighting aspects of her own heritage.

“We will conjure future joy,” Johnson said. “We will let nothing exist. What do you want for yourself, your family, your neighborhood, your city? We will talk about this. We will come up with some ideas we can make happen. And we’ll dance.”

The workshop will focus on improvising movement and exchanging stories, creating a divide between what people believe about themselves and what they make up.

The stories will focus on positive experiences, but some stories will be voiced and others will remain

Podcasts to pick up after ‘Serial’ “Criminal”

“Criminal” is a true crime podcast that tells the stories of life on the other side of the law and the people whose lives are intertwined with it. With non-fiction stories ranging from allegedly murderous owls to an underground Venus flytrap kidnapping ring, you never know what to expect from “Criminal.“ Unlike “Serial,” “Criminal” does not often try to recreate a crime or follow the loose ends in a cold case. Episodes are more likely to examine how the media affects victims of crime, like in episode six, or how segregation affected criminal investigations in episode eight. Host Phoebe Judge and the team behind “Criminal” are all fulltime radio professionals, which becomes apparent when listening to the podcast. The interviews are emotional, and the editing sets a clear tone for each installment.

Unfortunately, due to the hobby project nature of “Criminal,” new

“This American Life”

“This American Life” is a weekly radio program broadcast all across the country and one of the most successful podcasts in the nerdy history of podcasts. Hosted by radio royalty Ira Glass, each hour-long show is divided into different fiction or nonfiction acts based on a theme.

“This American Life” has covered everything from babysitting (episode 175) to bank regulation (episode 536), and the stories it tells are often as humorous as they are emotional.

The show has been so successful that it was adapted for television in 2006, has had numerous live stage shows and has led to its own spinoff podcast, the aforementioned “Serial.” “This American Life” started as a radio program in 1995 and began offering its show as a free podcast in

The good, the bad, the snubbed

T

ALEX GUYTON

here are two things guaranteed in life: death and taxes. There are two things guaranteed in Academy Awards nominations: Meryl Streep and general griping. The 87th Academy Awards nominations for the 2015 Oscars, which were announced live Thursday morning by actor Chris Pine, J.J. Abrams, director of the upcoming “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” Alfonso Cuarón, director of “Gravity,” and Motion Picture Arts and Sciences president Cheryl Boone Isaacs, confirmed this. Meryl Streep netted her 19th Academy Award nomination, this time for “Into the Woods,” and debate sparked over what was right, wrong and flat-out bewildering about the myriad categories.

Starting at the top, the Best

Picture category is able to have up to 10 nominees, yet, for the fourth year in a row, 10 films did not receive enough votes to warrant a nomination. Of the eight nominees, there were the expected (“The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Boyhood,” “Birdman,” “The Imitation Game,” “Selma” and “The Theory of Everything”), the unexpected (“Whiplash,” “American Sniper”) and the snubbed (“Foxcatcher,” “A Most Violent Year”).

“A Most Violent Year,” the 1981 New York period piece starring Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac, seemed to be on its way to at least nabbing its formidable stars acting nominations. However, the film was shut out of every single category.

It received a limited release on the last possible day for eligibility, Dec. 31, so maybe simply no one saw the movie.

“American Sniper” was the biggest recipient of good news, netting a Best Picture nomination and a Best Actor nomination for star Bradley Cooper. The film was not nominated for any Golden Globes.

Though the stately paced wrestling drama “Foxcatcher” didn’t

receive a Best Picture nomination, its director, Bennett Miller, received one for Best Director. He joined Richard Linklater, Morten Tyldum, Wes Anderson and Alejandro González Iñárritu, the other nominees. In the sea of men, “Selma” director Ava DuVernay was notably missing, sparking perhaps the strongest, most vehement reactions from cinephiles.

DuVernay wasn’t the only instance of “Selma” and the film’s associated talents receiving the short end of the stick. David Oyelowo, whose portrayal of Martin Luther King Jr. received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Drama, was left out, marking for the first time since the late ’90s that all four of the acting categories were comprised of white actors and

actresses. As the Academy expanded the Best Picture field in 2009, perhaps its time to expand the Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress categories.

With more Best Director nominations, not only would DuVernay have made the cut, but David Fincher deservedly would have, too. His thriller “Gone Girl” was left out of Best Picture and Gillian Flynn, the author of the novel who also wrote the screenplay, was denied Best Adapted Screenplay.

Thank goodness for Rosamund Pike’s Best Actress nomination as the conniving Amy Dunne.

Regardless, everything mentioned pales in comparison to the most ludicrous decision of the day: “The LEGO Movie” not receiving a Best Animated Feature nomination . I’m only partially kidding.

But, hey, let’s hope “Everything Is Awesome” wins for Best Original Song. There needs to be a burst of positivity with all of this snubbing and negativity .

he saloon exterior of The Gaslight Theatre, which has seen 37 seasons of performances, lends itself well to the original production of “The Ballad of TwoGun McGraw.” The boot-leather smell in the auditorium entrance might be from wear and tear, but it suits the Wild West ambiance.

This self-aware musical parody, written and directed by Peter Van Slyke in his over 100th production for The Gaslight Theatre, is steeped in pop culture and familiar western stock characters.

The musical melodrama parodies western comedy hijinks of the 1950s and ’60s like Cat Ballou, Gunsmoke and Support Your Local Sheriff.

Unlike Cat Ballou, the female leads were underutilized, used like props to signal the end of a scene and swoon over men, and they lacked character background.

S l y k e admitted his frustration with trying to provide the female cast more action, but the nature of the western genre and the generic roles written for women in western cinema limited his parody options.

Delilah, the “proprietress” of the local saloon, shares a similar likeness to “Gunsmoke”’s Miss Kitty with her red wig updo.

Heather Stricker’s Delilah shines in her entirely unaddressed reason for singing “Lovesick Blues”; however, her powerhouse vocals forgive this oversight.

Texas Ranger Two-Gun McGraw providentially arrives in town just as Miss Melody requires gentlemanly assistance in saving her ranch from villain Jack Dagger.

Miss Melody’s feminine floral prints and innocence appeal to McGraw’s need to protect the decent folks of Texas.

McGraw’s white 10-gallon hat, white cowboy suit trimmed in silver fringe complete with an impractical dainty blue scarf give Mike Yarema’s Two-Gun McGraw the trustworthy appeal of Roy Rogers.

Armen Dirtadian uses his scruffy Lee Marvin-esque voice

to supply villain Jack Dagger with authoritative menace. Dagger hires two desperados to aid in his attempt to rob whatever he can get his hands on.

Laredo, a barrel-chested rakish man who is his own biggest fan, repeatedly pops his hip toward the audience asking, “What’s my name, again?” to the sound of a cracking whip.

To Laredo’s delight, the audience hollers his name.

Jacob Brown’s Red Dog entered the stage with flare and glee, shooting his pistol in time with whizzing bullet sound effects and howling like Ernest T. Bass catching sight of a pretty girl. Brown’s comic relief character could be obnoxious in less capable hands, but not even riffing Ennio Morricone’s spaghetti western theme turned the audience against him.

Eschewing War Horse mechanics, the prop horses have visible wheels and suspenders attached to the actors to purposely incite the audience to mock any displays of machismo in the villains.

The theater’s waitresses wore similar black back-laced saloon girl corsets with a feather in their hair, immersing the audience with the onstage saloon as they delivered complementary popcorn.

Scenes feature rapid dialogue and quick one-liners, and a succession of simple musical numbers signal the end of scenes.

The pacing would be greatly hindered without the aid of the stage left trio of musicians able to add accompaniment when the actors improvise.

Linda Ackermann’s 92nd consecutive musical direction, ability to improvise on the piano with the actors and singing before the show and during intermission were superb.

Ackermann’s intermission rendition of “Sin Wagon” kept the energy alive as she played the piano with the fevered rhythm of Jerry Lee Lewis.

Becky Gilmour, The Gaslight Theatre’s general manager, said the theater was created by UA alumni

and employs former and current UA students in the crew and cast repertory.

“The Ballad of Two-Gun McGraw” is a sentimental and humorous parody of beloved westerns. The humor is quick, clean and without overt wholesomeness. The show is followed with the ensemble performing a “Beverly Hillbillies” variety show with plenty of wellknown country songs.

The play performs daily with three performances on weekends until March 29.

Taking resolutions one step at a time

A

CHELSEA COOK

t the start of each new year, it’s a common practice to create New Year’s resolutions in hopes of changing for the better. In fact, last year, the University of Scranton found in a clinical study that 45 percent of Americans made New Year’s resolutions and about 46 percent of people kept their resolution for over six months.

Various people of all ages and backgrounds write their own personal and specific resolutions each year pertaining to that person’s own life. “[I want to] get more in touch with my culture, because it’s hard to stay connected when you’re not at home surrounded by family,” said Elizabeth Vuong, a freshman studying molecular and cellular biology. In order to accomplish this goal, Vuong frequently phones her parents back home so that

she can keep her first language, Vietnamese, fresh in her mind.

Dyana Muller, a freshman studying neuroscience and cognitive science, has a passion for cooking, so she wrote her resolution in order to help her expand upon her love for cooking.

“My resolution is to cook 100 new recipes this year, so that I can become a better cook, and because when I am cooking, I am able to relax and wind down after a long day,” Muller said.

According to USA.gov, some of the most popular New Year’s resolutions include losing weight, quitting smoking, getting a better education or job, saving money and becoming healthier.

However, a proper New Year’s resolution requires more than just writing out the goal and promising yourself that you will accomplish it; you must also change your lifestyle to help make the resolution possible.

“In order to create or change a habit, you have to think much more

about altering your environment and patterns of living than work or steeling your mind,” writes Wendy Wood, a professor of psychology and business at University of Southern California, in an article

tomorrow exchange buy * sell*trade

in The New York Times. In order to break the old habits and create new ones that fit resolutions, you need more than just willpower — you need a desire to change your lifestyle.

The article, “Turning a New Year’s Resolution Into Action With the Facts,” mentions how habits take time to change, and therefore goals will take time to become habit. People who are truly intent on sticking to their resolutions must realize that change cannot happen over night. Realistically, it can take anywhere between 18 and 245 days to make or break a habit, Wood writes.

Some students around campus, including Bailey Bruce, a prenursing freshman, have realized the need for lifestyle changes when it comes to fulfilling resolutions.

Bruce has decided to take this year to eat healthier and has already resolved to stop eating desserts completely and to eat a salad once a day. Although she knows it will be difficult and time consuming to stick to her resolution, Bruce believes that in the end, it will all pay off.

Four films for spring 2015 The spring semester always finds itself smack dab in the middle of the two most important, and possibly only, movie seasons: awards season and summer blockbuster season. The nominations for the 87th Academy Awards were released Thursday, so if you haven’t checked out the awards heavy hitters, get to the local theater. Once you’ve done that, you may think there aren’t many reasons to hit up the cineplex anytime soon. However, there may not be as much of a dearth in quality cinema between January and May as one may imagine. Here are four films that possess some promise.

2

ALEX GUYTON

“Leviathan” (February 20, The Loft) — One of the most critically acclaimed foreign films of the past year lands in Tucson. In a small coastal village in Northern Russia, Kolya lives in and works out of his childhood home with his young wife and teenage son. However, the corrupt mayor seeks to acquire Kolya’s land and evict his family.

Employing the law services of an old friend, Kolya fights back. Director Andrey Zvyagintsev creates a down-to-earth social thriller where lowly citizens must fight against a Russian system that invokes the right of God. The film won Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Golden Globe Awards and is nominated for the same category for the upcoming Academy Awards.

ANDREY ZVYAGINTSEV

METAFILMS

“Mommy” (Feb. 13, The Loft) — French-Canadian Xavier Dolan is 25 years old, and “Mommy” isn’t even the first feature film that he’s directed.

However, this film, unlike his others, received the Jury Prize at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, an honor his film shared with “Goodbye to Language,” directed by the 84-year-old French master Jean-Luc Godard. Dolan, to say the least, is overachieving for his age.

His current feature revolves around a single mother attempting to take care of her troubled, off-kilter son. However, when Diane (Anne Dorval) loses her job and is pushed to the brink, son Steve (Antoine Olivier Pilon) assures her that they are a team. A mysterious neighbor (Suzanne Clément) also enters into the equation to try to help.

This modern-day familial story seems charged with drama, comedy, sex and desperate, good-hearted people.

4

MARVEL STUDIOS

“Avengers: Age of Ultron” (May 1, wide) — The first blockbuster to be released has a good chance of rendering the rest of the summer’s fare lesser in comparison. Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow return in the follow-up to the 2012 hit that currently stands as the third highest-grossing movie ever. Though superhero-sized box office figures always accompany Marvel films, this sequel seems to improve upon a flaw that has become as ubiquitous to Marvel as a scene after the credits: lackluster villains. With the menacing, confident voice work from James Spader, Ultron, a self-aware AI created by Tony Stark to keep the peace, turns on the Avengers, seeking to destroy them and possibly all of humanity.

ALPHA CORE

“Chappie” (March 6, wide) — A robot with the rather innocent, good-natured name of Chappie develops consciousness in a world that feels threatened by his self-awareness. Director Neill Blomkamp helms his third feature film. While 2009’s “District 9” was an incredibly fresh film centered around prawn-like aliens relegated to South African ghettos, his follow-up, the 2013 “Elysium,” was not as memorable. With the likes of Dev Patel (“Slumdog Millionaire”), Hugh Jackman and, in the strangest bit of casting of the year, Yolandi Visser and Watkin Tudor Jones of South African rap-rave duo Die Antwoord, “Chappie” seeks to reaffirm Blomkamp’s status as one of the most original minds in sci-fi today.

circus arts.

The Tucson Circus Arts classes have a diverse program of noncompetitive classes to provide a source of exercise among other things. TCA was founded around eight years ago in Tucson and began its new year of classes on Jan. 5.

TCA participates in local events, most notably in the All Souls Procession, where it took place in the Grand Finale in 2013. The performance took eight weeks of planning and workshops to create an amazing experience for the audience.

Although circus arts may seem daunting, TCA makes different forms of the exercise accessible for everyone. Silks, or aerial acrobatics with fabric, is a popular class with both adults and kids, according to Katherine Tesch, program coordinator of TCA. Tesch was a ballet dancer until she saw a show with Flam Chen and decided to pursue a career in the circus arts. She now runs the year round program at the TCA and specializes in aerial acrobatics, stilts and silks.

Tesch said she loves teaching and thinks the circus is great for kids.

“The circus teaches a lot of confidence and convinces them to do things,” Tesch said.

“Teamwork is really open and accepting.”

Tesch said what she enjoys about teaching is seeing the passion students have for the arts when before there was uncertainty.

This sentiment of progress is shared by Chase Reynolds, the head prop instructor.

Reynolds said the program provides an opportunity for young adults to learn a skill, become immersed into an artistic culture and make friends.

“Seeing that joy … and sharing that joy when [students] overcome their challenges and they reach their goals, that’s really special,” Reynolds said.

Some of the classes offered at the TCA are stilts, silks, juggling and twirling and contortion training for those who already have high flexibility. Each are scheduled by a student’s availability or on scheduled days of the week.

In these classes, students learn the core values of the program — well-being, participation, practice, safety and integrity — as well as understand these values in context of the class.

Tesch said Tucson is an ideal location for circus arts because the weather is nice, especially in winter, and the pyrotechnics work in the dry weather.

“Kids are a bit more willing to jump in; they don’t really have fear,” Tesch said on the

differences in teaching young children and college students. “A lot of college students come in thinking this is a fun way to get exercise and kids come in and they’re like, ‘I get to fly around and be crazy.’”

Reynolds said that what he would like adults to take away from the classes is that they have an opportunity to learn a skill that opens doors into a new world and culture and be creative.

“I was attracted to circus recreation when I was in my mid-20s as an artist,” Reynolds said.

“I knew it was something I wanted to keep doing.”

THE LONG WEEKEND IS THE PERFECT opportunity to relax before the stress of the semester begins. With the TV show “Friends” now on Netflix, there’s no shortage of shows to binge watch.

YOU REVEAL THE BEST IN ME.

Ride, watch, listen: What to do over the long weekend

I

f you’re already exhausted from your strenuous three-day week of classes, then you’re in luck, because our first and only long weekend of the semester is upon us.

Thankfully, for those of us who actually made it out of winter hibernation and into a classroom, we can all take a deep breath and destress before getting back in the academic swing of things. If you forgot that school was back in session, good news — you’ve just gotten an extension on your winter break. If you’ve used up all your fun and adventurous ideas of things to do from the break, here are a few things to liven up your long weekend and banish the boredom.

Hit the road

MIA MORAN

Southern Arizona has no shortage of picturesque places to visit, and all you need is some friends, a vehicle and a destination and you’re ready for an adventure. Stay on track with that New Year’s resolution and stay closer to home and take a hike in Sabino Canyon or on Mount Lemmon. A bit of a longer drive down to Kartchner Caverns State Park and you can experience one of the stunning natural landscapes that’s practically right in our backyard. Drive north to Picacho Peak and you’ll get to feed some ostriches, deer and

adorable lorikeets while getting a breath of fresh air.

Binge watch in bed

The new year means brand new TV shows on Netflix, and hours of potential time-wasting to be had. Since you probably don’t have much (if any) homework to do this weekend, take some time for yourself and just veg. Order in your favorite food, hit that play button and next thing you know you’ll be seeing the sunrise on Tuesday morning. Most notable of the new lineup is the ever popular ’90s sitcom “Friends,” which has 10 seasons, enough to safely get you through the long weekend.

Get jazzy with it

Amongst other events, 2015 marks the inaugural Tucson Jazz Festival. The festival hosts more than a dozen artists over the next two weeks beginning today. Pick your favorite downtown venue — from The Rialto Theatre to Hotel Congress to the Screening Room — and there will be a jazz performance there for you to enjoy. If you’re cold for cash, all day Monday the Downtown Jazz Fiesta will be putting on shows on several stages for free.

WILDCATS AIM FOR UPSET Arizona women’s basketball faces a tough road test against Pac-12 foes Stanford and Cal over the weekend

A

EZRA AMACHER

lready off to a 0-4 start in conference play, Arizona women’s basketball faces another test this weekend as the team travels to the Bay Area to play Stanford and Cal. The Wildcats are coming off back-to-back losses to ASU, including an 88-41 defeat in Tucson. While they put up a better fight in Tempe, the Sun Devils were still able to pull away for a convincing win.

In all four conference losses, turnovers and a lack of defensive attention have plagued Arizona.

“I think it’s a mix of everything,” Arizona women’s basketball coach Niya Butts said. “From lack of intensity to lack of focus.

Any time you’re missing close shots inside, you’re not focused and [any time you’re giving easy possessions and easy plays, I just think that’s a lack of intensity. Overall, we have to pick it up around the board.”

Tonight, there will be little room for those types of mistakes when the UA faces No. 13 Stanford in a 9 p.m. start.

A young team, Stanford has not been as dominant as in years past but still poses a significant challenge with a high-powered offense. The Cardinal boast a number of guards who can shoot the ball well, including leading scorer Lili Thompson.

“We know what they’re going to do, but we just have to be able to stop it,” Butts said. “They shoot a high percentage from behind the arc and they’re efficient around the basket, so we have to make sure we come ready to play and that we come focused.”

Stanford’s aggressiveness from outside could lend into Arizona’s favor, as the team ranks second in the Pac-12 Conference with a

.259 3-point percentage defense.

For the Wildcats to stay in the game, they will need to stay on the Cardinal’s shooters while preventing easy buckets down low.

“We worked a lot on our defense and rebounding,” UA forward LaBrittney Jones said. “That’s what our main focus needs to be in the upcoming games. We’ve had some tough practices, and I think we’ve been real competitive trying to getting us better.”

Arizona will have to carry over the defensive intensity to Sunday when it faces Cal at 2 p.m.

The Golden Bears, coming off an overtime loss to Washington, can also put up points in a hurry. As a team, Cal averages nearly 77 points per game, second best in the conference.

In particular, the Wildcats may have a tough time slowing down senior Reshanda Gray. The 6-foot-3 forward is Cal’s leading scorer and has two inches on Alli Gloyd, the UA’s tallest player.

Facing two well-rounded offenses, it will be even more important for Arizona to not commit the types of careless mistakes as it has in games past. Otherwise, it will be another long weekend in what has already been a disappointing start to Pac-12 play.

On the other hand, if the Wildcats can get everything to click this weekend, an upset or two would provide the type of confidence to boost them through conference play.

“We’ve only had a couple conference games so I think we can still accomplish our goals,” Jones said. “We just have to change our mindsets.”

Utes loom large for Arizona Arizona plays arguably its toughest opponent in McKale Center when the Utah Utes come to Tucson on Saturday for a matchup of top-10 Pac-12 Conference teams

james kelley While orange is the new black, Utah men’s basketball is the new Arizona.

For the last couple years, and for decades before that, the No. 10 Wildcats (15-2, 3-1 Pac12 Conference) have been the Conference of Champions’ flagship franchise in men’s hoops.

After starting the season ranked No. 2, it looked like this year would be no different, but after the Wildcats’ recent struggles, the Utes have passed them.

While the UA beat Colorado (9-7, 2-2) 68-54, that margin was far too close of a win over a side that was missing two of its three best players.

After the game, Arizona head coach Sean Miller said the Wildcats will have to upset the Utes in McKale Center on Saturday.

“I told our guys in the locker room: Utah is the best team in the Pac-12,” Miller said.

“They’re the deepest, the most experienced, they believe in what they do the most and they execute on both sides of the ball.”

Arizona hosts the No. 8 Utes (14-2, 4-0) on Saturday at 5 p.m. on the Pac-12 Networks.

“We’re going to need a great crowd,” Miller said. “We’re going to need a tremendous performance.”

Arizona has lost two of its last five games.

While those two defeats were on the road, the less-than-impressive win over Colorado was in the friendly confines of McKale Center.

With the Buffaloes missing starting forwards Josh Scott and Xavier Johnson, guard Askia Booker scored 30 points on 11-for-17 shooting, including six 3-pointers.

“The only guy that I’ve seen do that since I’ve been at Arizona is [former BYU star] Jimmer Fredette, and I think if [Booker had] gotten a couple more good looks, off, he’d certainly have scored 40,” Miller said. “We didn’t have an answer for him.”

Colorado is a team that’s lost almost as many games as it’s won. Arizona should have beat it by close to 30 or at least by enough to see the

walk-ons play enough to score.

Utah’s only losses were at then-No. 16 San Diego State and at then-No. 10 Kansas, not teams that are mediocre at best, like UNLV and Oregon State.

“With this quick turn around, you don’t really have time to gameplan as well as you want to, but if we do what we do, we should be fine,” Arizona forward Stanley Johnson said about the Utah game.

Arizona should have come out with a fire against Colorado, but trailed 9-4 early on. Miller called out the team this week after it lost to Oregon State.

After the game, Miller didn’t have an issue with the Wildcats’ intensity, but he wasn’t that impressed.

“I thought we were okay,” Miller said. “I mean we had a player score 30 on us, so, for the most

part we were okay.”

The Wildcats will need more of their trademark intensity to upset the Utes.

Utah features one of the best players in country in guard Delon Wright, who is on the latest watch list for the John R. Wooden Award along with Johnson.

Johnson and Wright figure to be the two focal points in Saturday’s matchup of top-10 teams and likely will spend time guarding each other.

“I like playing against great players,” Johnson said. “I consider him a really great player in college. We’re from the same area, so I played against him a couple times. I think he does what he does really well.”

UA hockey seeks to snap losing streak ZOE WOLKOWITZ Arizona Wildcat hockey will try to snap a six-game losing streak this weekend at the Tucson Convention Center. No. 20 Arizona (913) hosts the Division II Utes of Utah (20-7-1) in a two-game series this weekend.

“This weekend is about getting back on track,” UA hockey coach Chad Berman said. “Last weekend’s performance was completely unacceptable and we are going to fix it. This week we have demanded heavy emphasis on the details of the game that are essential to consistent success. We have a lot to prove against Utah.”

Utah’s ACHA Division II club hockey team has come a long way since it was formed in 2006 and has become one of the elite D-II teams in the west. This year’s hockey team made school history by being ranked at No. 3, making it the highest rank Utah has ever earned in the poll.

Sophomore forward Josh Dangel leads the Utes in scoring with 41 points from 23 goals and 18 assists. Right behind Dangler is Chase McDonald with 35 points and Ben Seastrand with 30 points.

This season, freshman Chris Komma earned the starting position in net over junior goaltender Devan Betts. Komma has a .91 save percentage and holds a 14-5 record between the pipes.

“We’ve never played Utah so we don’t know much about them, but after we struggled last weekend, we need to play —Chad Berman, exceptionally well UA hockey coach this Friday and Saturday,” UA hockey captain Shane Gleason said. “You never want to underestimate anyone in this league, so we will be preparing for this Utah series and the rest of our remaining games as if they were playoff games.”

Arizona has found itself in a slump over the past few weeks and has fallen below a .500

“LAST WEEKEND’S PERFORMANCE WAS COMPLETELY UNNACEPTABLE.”

record. However, the Wildcats have one of the toughest schedules in the ACHA Division I and their losing streak comes against teams all ranked in the top five.

John and Brian “Toppie” Hogan, a pair of St. Louis twins, are two new additions to Arizona’s team. During their season debut last weekend, the boys wasted no time proving to the coach, team and TCC what they are capable of.

Brian Hogan lit up the ice during his first weekend as a Wildcat, scoring five points from three goals and two assists. John Hogan collected three points from one goal and two assists in his first collegiate hockey game.

Robbie Wilkinson leads the Wildcats in scoring with 17 points from 10 goals and seven assists. Following shortly behind is Dylan Carter with 16 points.

The Wildcats dedicate this weekend’s series of games to the military and on both Friday and Saturday night, fans can show their military IDs for half price Macho Nachos. Puck drops Friday and Saturday night at 7:30 pm.
