Ryan Anderson has high aspirations and intentions for the Wildcats this season after sitting out a year, and is licking his chops for an immidiate impact BY Kyle Hansen

referee hands Mark Tollefsen the ball on the baseline not too far from behind the hoop. Tollefsen looks around for about two seconds, then immediately lobs the ball into the air just in front of the basket. An unguarded Ryan Anderson flies toward the hoop. He catches the ball at its highest point with his right hand and brings it down for the hard slam. That’s something the 6-foot-9 do-itall forward showcased during Arizona’s exhibition game against Chico State, and it’s a spectacle Wildcat fans get to look forward to all season. “That’s one of our plays this year; we’ve been running it for a couple of years,” Anderson said. “I like that play. For the most part it’s pretty consistent.” Anderson, a Boston College transfer, has been wowing coaches, teammates and fans through his short time wearing an Arizona jersey. He has earned nothing but the highest praise from head coach Sean Miller, who says Anderson won the team’s gold jersey for six straight weeks. The jersey is given to the player who leads the team in total statistical practice points. Anderson displayed his versatility Sunday during the Wildcats’ exhibition, finishing with 19 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks. The Wildcats went on to beat Chico State 9054. “We’ve never had a player dominate the action like that,” Miller said. “He’s worked hard the last year with Chris Rounds, our strength coach, and worked really hard this summer. You can see from his physical-ness that his body has changed. He’s got a lot less body fat, is stronger and he’s really a very good player. Hands down our best player, every day.” Miller said during media day that Anderson had bench pressed 185 pounds 21 times a few days prior, which is a first in this program’s storied history. Anderson joined the Wildcats last season but had to sit out due to NCAA transfer rules. He also finished recovering from right shoulder surgery. “I learned a lot last year. I definitely don’t regret my decision at all to sit out,” Anderson said. “That was the first year of my life that I never played a game. [This season] is definitely a time that I’m waiting on.”
His right shoulder is doing just fine judging by that alley-oop he finished in the exhibition. Anderson’s praise reaches beyond his coaches as well. “The past couple of years, we’ve been a big team,” center Kaleb Tarczewski said after the Wildcats’ exhibition game. “We’ve had a lot of really good fours. [Brandon Ashley] has been here since I’ve been here, Rondae [Hollis-Jefferson] and AG [Aaron Gordon] as well. I’d say Ryan is just as good, if not better, than all of them. He works hard, he’s always in the right position at the right time and he’s going to be a huge part of our team this year.” The Lakewood, California, native played three seasons at Boston College before coming back west to Tucson. Anderson averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game and earned honorable Mention All-ACC in his junior year with the Eagles. Anderson said he learned a lot from Miller and watching the players last season. “One of the biggest things I’m happy about is my leadership,” Anderson said. “I really tried to pay attention to guys like T.J. [McConnell], a guy that had so much respect from our team last year. Just learning how to honor the process here and what that really means, and how T.J. embodied that, really helped me learn a lot for this upcoming year.” Anderson said he is just excited to get back out on to the court and sees a bright future for this Arizona squad. “We have the motto, ‘just us,’ ” he said. “That just kind of embodies all of us being together as a unit—being close. Knowing that we may not have a top 5 NBA pick this year, but together, us as a group, … all we need is just us. And together, we can do some special things this year and hopefully make the Final Four. That’s what all of our dreams are and what we signed up for.” As for himself, Anderson said he hopes the fans enjoy what they see from him in his only season as a Wildcat. “Hopefully they’ll love how hard I play,” Anderson said. “I take pride in the fact that I try not to take any plays off. I know that’s the Arizona mentality, to just ‘bear down,’ as we call it. When it gets tough, I always feel like I get better. I think they’ll like that about me and I think they’ll like my energy.

Arizona — Sure, the Wildcats lost their four top scorers from last year and incoming wingman Ray Smith to injury, but Sean Miller does not rebuild, he reloads. This year’s a brand new year,� Miller said on media day. “I look at the conference and there are a number of teams that I think can win.� So while Arizona may not dominate the Pac-12 Conference like in year’s past, the team still starts the season as the favorite.

Utah — While the loss of Delon Wright does hurt, Jakob Poeltl is still manning the middle for a ranked Utah team that will look to build off last year’s success. Beware of the Utes and the Jon M. Huntsman Center, where Utah finished 16-1 last season with its sole loss coming to ‌ Arizona.

California — After missing the tourney last season, the Golden Bears have Final Four aspirations with their loaded recruiting class and return of star forward Tyrone Wallace. One of their touted recruits, Ivan Rabb, spurned Arizona in hopes of helping Cal knock off the top cats.
4
Oregon — The Ducks lost the (undeserved) Pac-12 Player of the Year in Joe Young, but still return senior Elgin Cook and sophomore Dillon Brooks, who were second and third, respectively, in scoring for Oregon last season.
5
Oregon State — The Beavers return the reigning (again, undeserved) Defensive Player of the Year in Gary Payton II and look to improve from last year’s seventh place finish in the Pac-12. Along with the addition of multiple four-star freshmen, the Beavers could potentially trim their losses to single digits this season.

UCLA — After sneaking into the NCAA Tournament last season, the Bruins made it all the way to the Sweet Sixteen and return veterans Tony Parker and Bryce Alford to this year’s squad. They may improve from last year but as long as head coach Steve Alford allows his son to recklessly jack up shots, UCLA will continue to be inconsistent.

Stanford — The Cardinal ended last season strong as they finished on a fivegame winning streak that culminated with the elusive NIT championship. Johnny Dawkins has his work cut out for him as it is always tough to repeat as champions, but the team did win the 2012 NIT too, so it must be in their blood.

Colorado — An injury-laden season snapped the Buffaloes’ tourney streak at three, but the Buffs should be better than last season. Josh Scott returns along with Wesley Gordon, so they will need to rely on the frontcourt.

ASU — The Sun Devils lost one of their best players in Shaquielle McKissic, but they return the Curtain of Distraction. So at least they have that. Former Duke Blue Devil Bobby Hurley now coaches ASU, in case you needed a reason to loathe them even more.
10
USC — The Trojans return all five starters, though they finished a measly 3-15 in the conference last year. So maybe that is not a good thing. This program has not been the same since Lil Romeo stopped hooping it up for the Trojans.

Washington — The Huskies started last season 11-0 and were well on their way to the tourney before losing 15 of their next 20 games to miss out on both March Madness and the NIT Tournament altogether. There isn’t much reason to believe anything different will happen this season, except for that 11 game win streak.
12
Washington State — The Cougars have the tough task of replacing the school’s fifth all-time leading scorer in DaVontÊ Lacy, but they have a bevy of junior college transfers to attempt to fill the void. Josh Hawkinson is returning after averaging a double-double last season, so there should not be too much pessimism in Pullman.

The newest breed of point guards Arizona is known for having a veteran point guard leader. Instead, Sean Miller has a point guard trio at his disposal for the 2015-2016 season, which can only mean one thing: It’s Miller time

A
rizona basketball is a program unlike most, in the sense that every position is three-deep throughout the rotation. Fan favorite and Pac-12 Player of the Year runner-up T.J. McConnell was the undisputed leader of the Wildcats last season, but with him shining in the NBA this season, there’s a new sheriff—or sheriffs—in town. Kadeem Allen, Parker JacksonCartwright and Justin Simon make up Sean Miller’s backcourt this season. Miller will be licking his chops all season long, despite having three players share the point guard position. He knows he’ll be able to throw different packages at teams, whether they will be big with guards like Allen and Simon or utilizing the craftiness in role player JacksonCartwright.
The 2014 JUCO Player of the Year from Hutchinson Community College in Kansas was the starting point guard in the first showing of the season in the Wildcats’ exhibition against Chico State. Miller took us back to the versatile guard combo days when he had Lamont “MoMo” Jones on the floor. Even though Allen was starting at point guard, the two-way guard from Wilmington, North Carolina, mentioned Arizona fans could see him in numerous packages. “It’s different combinations that coach Miller put in—one day I could be at the one and another day I could be at the two,” Allen said. “Another day I could be at the three.” Allen could be the most efficient player this season because he doesn’t have to check out of the game when Miller installs substitutions. Instead, Allen can shift over to other positions. Having this multifaceted player could be a blessing in disguise for a squad that is missing four starters from last season. Despite redshirting last year, Allen said the extra year helped him evolve into a better leader. “I learned how to be a great team player, be more vocal,” Allen said. “After sitting out and lifting in the weight room and [focusing on my] academics, it really helped me out a lot. The decision for me to redshirt was the best decision I’ve ever made.”

Parker Jackson-Cartwright
This crafty ball handler will have the same role as last season and that’s to be a floor general when the starter isn’t in. McConnell took Jackson-Cartwright under his wing and groomed him to be the Wildcats’ point guard of the future. It’s unfortunate for his case because he has to share minutes with two other guards, but Jackson-Cartwright will have a pivotal position with this season’s squad. Outside of Kaleb Tarczewski, Gabe York, Dusan Ristic and Elliott Pitts, JacksonCartwright is the only Wildcat returning with significant playing time in Miller’s system. Adding weight and now being able to slash to the bucket more effectively are the biggest additions Jackson-Cartwright has picked up going into this season. “Going through the lane and not getting knocked down and being able to go through a long game and a long season will help me,” Jackson-Cartwright said. “[My teammates] definitely noticed it and coaches have, and it feels good.” Jackson-Cartwright’s teammates, however, still remind him he’s the only player under 6-foot on the team. “Yeah, I get it every day, like I need a diaper change, or I’m a baby,” Jackson-Carwright said. Arizona will need his craftiness, intelligence and experience on the court this season to rise atop the conference for another year.

Justin Simon
Simon is one of those freshmen who is constantly overlooked because of another highly ranked recruit. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson was overlooked because of Aaron Gordon and Stanley Johnson overshadowed every other Wildcat in his class. Simon falls into the same boat because of Allonzo Trier, but that won’t stop the Temecula, California, native from getting minutes in his first season with the Wildcats. The 6-foot-5 Simon is without a doubt the tallest point guard Miller has brought into the program. A lengthy, quick and flashy point guard is ideal for a team looking to reload for another deep run in March, as other teams will struggle to match up with a guard his size. He may be studying from JacksonCartwright and Allen for a season, but Simon’s future at Arizona shines brightly.

Transfers embark on the Arizona journey Ryan Anderson, Mark Tollefsen and Kadeem Allen begin their chapters in Arizona basketball. What do they bring to the table?
BY KYLE HANSEN
The Daily Wildcat
F
ans and media alike were used to seeing the same faces coming back and playing for Sean Miller’s Wildcats for the past two Arizona basketball seasons. With the exceptions of Aaron Gordon and Stanley Johnson , Arizona saw players come back for two or three years, building a foundation that fans came to recognize on a consistent basis. This year’s team features almost a complete turnaround of what we have seen in the past. Arizona is now fielding three transfer players : seniors Ryan Anderson and Mark Tollefsen, and junior Kadeem Allen. While new to the Arizona uniform, these players are far from inexperienced in the game of college basketball. Anderson began his collegiate career at Boston College, where he played three seasons. Anderson averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds and was Honorable Mention All-ACC in his junior year. The 6-foot-9 forward transferred to Arizona last season and sat out due to NCAA transfer rules. Anderson has earned nothing but high praise from Miller through Arizona’s off and preseasons. Miller said Anderson earned the team’s gold jersey— which is given to the player who performs the best statistically during practice—for the past six weeks. Anderson said he is just looking forward to getting back on the court. “I’m just ready for the games to start,” Anderson said at the team’s media day. “It’s funny, every time I put this jersey on, I never sweat in it. Every one of these guys I consider like my best friend. I have never been on a team, personally, that I’m so close to.” Anderson continued his strong preseason during the Wildcats’ exhibition game against Chico State. He finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks. Allen is also a transfer student.
Allen used last year as a redshirt season after he transferred from Hutchinson Community College in Kansas. The guard was named the National JUCO Player of the Year while averaging 25.9 points and 5.9 assists per game at Hutchinson. When it comes to this team, Allen said he wants to help in any way he can. “[I want to] come in and help the team on defense or offense— being more vocal, more coaching on the court,” Allen said. “If that’s what I have to do to win, that’s what I’m going to do.” Tollefsen is a graduate transfer from the University of San Francisco, where he played for three full seasons and redshirted for another. The 6-foot-9 forward won the dunk contest at the Red-Blue Game and showcased to everyone how versatile he is, going 5-for-5 from the field for 13 points with eight rebounds and four assists. “For me, in the past, I’ve played in environments like this, but it’s always been against me,” Tollefsen said after the Red-Blue Game. “So it was nice to have a crowd that’s for me. It was a great experience.” Each of Miller’s three transfers brings a wealth of experience to the court, which has been shown early on. Anderson, Tollefsen and Allen were all dubbed starters in Arizona’s exhibition. The only question surrounding this group is what cohesiveness they will gain in the short time they have together. Tollefsen and Anderson will be done after this season, so now is the time for these guys to make a statement. From the early glimpses, each of these three knows how to play defense, which alone allows them to thrive in Miller’s system. Allen displayed sharp passing during the exhibition, while Tollefsen and Anderson proved they could score. They may be new to Arizona, but be aware: these transfers will give other teams headaches all season, and Wildcat fans will be glad these three chose McKale Center over any other venue to display their skills.

Kerr, Gardner, Bibby, Terry and McConnell have all cemented their place in Point Guard U prominence. Does the 2015 class have what it takes?
BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat
T
he Arizona men’s basketball program held down the title of Point Guard U from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s. Sure, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office didn’t officially approve a trademark, but anyone who watched Lute Olson’s Wildcats knew that Tucson was the destination for point guards. Steve Kerr started the trend; Damon Stoudamire, Mike Bibby and a host of others continued the tradition, and Jason Gardner and Salim Stoudamire further cemented Arizona’s status as PGU in the 21st century. Former Arizona point guards soon flooded the NBA and excelled on the professional level. The PGU brand only grew and a wave of high schoolers took notice of the
factory Olson had created. Who, in the early 2000s, didn’t dream of wearing high socks à la Jason Terry or rocking the “0,” like Agent Zero himself, Gilbert Arenas? Olson no longer needed to sell Arizona to elite prep point guards. The school sold itself. Then, in the fall of 2007, Olson temporarily stepped down as the Wildcats’ head coach due to a myriad of health and personal issues. In October of 2008, Olson officially retired. It’s no coincidence that a lull period struck PGU at this time. Jerryd Bayless and then Nic Wise held the rock under interim coaches Kevin O’Neil and Russ Pennell. Bayless, of course, would go on to play in the NBA, while Wise was a bit undersized to reach the professional stage. Current head coach Sean Miller still had one more year to work with Wise when he was hired as head coach in the spring of 2009, before implementing his own recruits.
NFL ay d sunk et c i T
It seemed only a matter of time before Miller, a former standout point guard at Pittsburgh, discovered PGU’s next flag-bearer. First came a couple near-hits— see Lamont “MoMo” Jones and Mark Lyons—and sure-miss Josiah Turner. It was during the middle of this transition period, April of 2012 to be exact, that Miller found the right guy. Few ever imagined T.J. McConnell would turn into the modern face of PGU when he first announced his decision to transfer from Duquesne to Arizona. The 6-foot-2 Pittsburgh native didn’t bring any fancy bag of tricks to Tucson. He certainly didn’t have the flashiness of some of the great Arizona point guards of the past, but McConnell personified just about everything his new coach looked for in a leader. Namely, a tireless work ethic and a willingness to put teammates’ success ahead of his own. The result: a prolific two-year stint at Arizona that culminated in a pair of Elite Eight trips.
“He was as consistent of a player that I’ve ever coached—day-in, day-out,” Miller said last week. “Not until somebody like that is gone do you understand all of the qualities that he had.” Miller’s comments came days after McConnell played in his first NBA game as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, a reality that is still sinking in for anyone who watched McConnell develop since arriving in Tucson. McConnell’s ladder of success should provide an extra dose of motivation for Arizona’s current group of point guards: Parker Jackson-Cartwright, Kadeem Allen and Justin Simon. And for those who ask, “When was the last time PGU produced an NBA-caliber point guard?” All one has to do is point to No. 12 on the 76ers’ roster.

Wisconsin can’t badger Arizona BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat
S
ean Miller can finally count his blessings and thank the basketball gods because, for once, he doesn’t have to look forward to Wisconsin. Miller doesn’t have to look forward to Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker in particular, who combined to give Arizona nightmares in the Wildcats’ two most recent runs to the Elite Eight. Much like the Wildcats, the Badgers will also reload in an attempt to bounce back after a deep run in March, when they made the National Championship and lost to Duke last season. Those damn Badgers have been the only team holding the Wildcats back. We’re all just waiting in anticipation for Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan to act as Gandalf the Grey and tell Miller, “You shall not pass.” The roots of the Wildcats’ suddenly frequent Elite Eight run-ins with the Badgers stem from the 2013-2014 season. California handed a 21-0 and No. 1 ranked Arizona team its first loss of the season, as the Wildcats lost forward Brandon Ashley for the remainder of the year because of a broken foot. Arizona would eventually win the conference and earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but once the Wildcats and Badgers went toe-to-toe in the Regional Championship, it felt as if these two teams were destined to run into each other somewhere down the road. The Wildcats had the best conditions possible to send Miller to his first Final Four, but Nick Johnson crumbled under pressure and took too many dribbles as time expired and the infamous clash broke out at Main Gate Square. Students threw bottles and came under fire with rubber bullets because they expected their Wildcats to compete in the Final Four. Arizona players dropped to the court in disbelief and shed tears because they knew just how close they were to what they thought was their destiny. Wisconsin took that from Arizona. Arizona had one missing piece from that squad, and it was the lengthy and versatile Ashley to defend Kaminsky. Kaleb Tarczewski was put on skates in the low post and allowed “Frank the Tank” to post 28 points and 11 rebounds. Arizona needed more than one player
to matchup with Kaminsky, so there shouldn’t have been an excuse in the Wildcats’ 2014-2015 Elite Eight run. Postseason rivalries will always be the games where everyone is locked in and ready for a grudge match. The LakersCeltics and Pistons-Bulls rivalries in the NBA Playoffs were matchups that, no matter where the game was played, just one turnover could cost a team its season. When Arizona played Wisconsin for the second consecutive year and on the same stage, the college basketball world turned into a soap opera. Except this time, Ashley was healthy and the streaking Wildcats seemed to have had all of the answers to finally beat the Badgers. Miller made the decision to let Rondae Hollis-Jefferson defend Kaminsky on the low block. The “Shim Reaper” could only contain Kaminsky to a certain degree because every time he dished the ball to Dekker, it went through the hoop. “It was tough,” Hollis-Jefferson said in a press release after the matchup. “One minute, I’m on [Kaminsky] and [Dekker] is going off. Then I got switched to [Dekker] and then [Kaminsky] is going off. I can’t guard both players. … We didn’t have an answer.” The Badgers shot 38.5 percent from the field in the first half, but caught fire in the second half to shoot 78.9 percent. Wisconsin completed the comeback and bested Arizona 85-78. Kaminsky and Dekker finished the afternoon with 56 combined points. Arizona didn’t lose to Wisconsin. The Wildcats were single-handedly beaten by Dekker and Kaminsky. “It was a hell of a game, what else can you say?” Stanley Johnson said in a press release after Arizona’s second straight Elite Eight loss. “We were a team, one of the best [Miller] has ever coached I guess, and we fell short again.” Arizona is still trying to figure it out. But with the lethal and seemingly unbeatable Badger duo now trying to find its way in the NBA—Dekker with the Rockets and Kaminsky with the Hornets—Miller can finally sleep at night. If Arizona is on the same side of the bracket as Wisconsin this season, the Wildcats should pray for an upset. As destiny has proven before, its not a question as to if these programs will square off again, but when. REbecca Noble/The Daily Wildcat

rizona looks different this year: Transfers Ryan Anderson and Mark Tollefsen are taking the lead, fourthyear seniors Gabe York and Kaleb Tarczewski are ready to step up their roles and there are position battles galore throughout the roster. There aren’t many great storylines going into the season, especially now that Ray Smith went down with another ACL injury. The Wildcats will have a few rough patches along the road until someone takes the leadership role that was once held by T.J. McConnell. I predict the Wildcats at least make it to the Sweet Sixteen before going down, but the Pac12 Conference competition is much stronger this year than in previous seasons.

Our staff makes its predictions for the Arizona men’s basketball outcome in the 2015-2016 season
BY kyle hansen
t’s tough to gauge just how good this year’s Arizona team will be. We have just the Red-Blue Game and the exhibition to give us an idea of what this team could do with seven new players. However, people should be excited about this new group of players. In the two games we have seen, newcomers Ryan Anderson, Mark Tollefsen and Kadeem Allen have been placed in the starting lineup. The Wildcats might be as good, if not better, defensively as last year. These new Wildcats are quick and athletic, allowing for the transition game to become a deadly weapon in their arsenal. If this team gels together quickly, they could make some serious noise come tournament time. Record: 33-5 Postseason: Elite Eight MVP: Ryan Anderson Overrated: Allonzo Trier Underrated: Kadeem Allen

hen was the last time you didn’t see Arizona grace the experts’ Final Four picks in the preseason? Well, now you can confidently say 2015. The Wildcats may not be entering the season as underdogs, but they sure aren’t on anyone’s radar to be the team to beat come March. Sean Miller brought in the No. 6 recruiting class in 2014, which included Parker JacksonCartwright and Dusan Ristic. Miller followed that by bringing in the No. 4 recruiting class for this season. So besides Arizona, who are the only two schools in the top six of the last two classes? Duke and Kentucky, which are nearly unanimous Final Four picks this season. This Wildcat squad may not jump out to the record 21-0 start we witnessed in 2013, but the new Arizona is more than capable of making noise once the team becomes cohesive and learns what it’s like to play in real-game situations together. Look for Miller to lean on veterans Kaleb Tarczewski, Gabe York, Mark Tollefsen and Ryan Anderson early, but the freshmen will play a pivotal piece in this team’s success. Is flying under the radar really all the Wildcats needed during the past few seasons to help Miller over the hump and into his first-ever Final Four?

rizona is heading into this season after another disappointing Elite Eight finish, but the expectations aren’t as high this time. The Wildcats lost four starters from last year’s squad; however, big-man Kaleb Tarczewski is looking to become the most successful Wildcat in the win column. Sean Miller brings in a plethora of newbies in McDonald’s AllAmerican Allonzo Trier and transfers Ryan Anderson and Mark Tollefsen. The Wildcats are looking to be a deep team this season with an overcrowded backcourt in Parker Jackson-Cartwright, Gabe York, Kadeem Allen and Justin Simon. The frontcourt will also be packed with Tarczewski, Dusan Ristic, Tollefsen, Anderson and Chance Comanche. There are concerns as to who will play the small forward position and protect the wing, but Miller will most likely have to play small ball and place Trier at the three. Arizona will begin the season just outside of the top 10 for the first time since 2012, and that has the potential to be a blessing in disguise; Arizona is being underestimated for the first time in a long time. The long shots always seem to rise to the top in March. Record: 33-6 Postseason: Final Four MVP: Allonzo Trier Overrated: Gabe York Underrated: Kadeem Allen
Arizona has the most wins and best winning percentage in the Pac-12, both overall and in conference play, since Sean Miller was hired in 2009.

ne of the rare elements in today’s college basketball world is watching a student become a senior and play all four years of their eligibility. With the NBA’s money luring one-and-done freshman and other talented players, seeing a student listed as a senior is becoming more unique with each passing season. The Wildcats have two seniors this season in Kaleb “Zeus” Tarczewski and Gabe York, who both will have played all four seasons in the Arizona red and blue. Both have played on two Elite Eight teams—with multiple players now thriving on the professional stage—won a Pac-12 Tournament Championship and been ranked No. 1 in the country. Tarczewski and York can both put an exclamation point on what have been two solid careers. “I’ve been through so many experiences since I’ve been here at the [UA],” Tarczewski said at the team’s media day. “I’ve kind of seen it all. [This year] is really kind of an opportunity for me to come back and help the younger guys along and hopefully make their experience a lot easier.” Tarczewski, who was listed as the No. 4 recruit in the class of 2012 out of Claremont, New Hampshire, came into Arizona part of a class that included York, Nick Johnson, Brandon Ashley and Grant Jerrett. The 7-foot center has already had a big 2015. He won a bronze medal with Team USA at the Pan American Games under Gonzaga head coach Mark Few. According to Arizona head coach Sean Miller, Tarczewski and York both have a chance to become the all-time winningest players at Arizona. Tarczewski is 18 wins away from becoming the winningest player in a rich program history. But for him, there is one main goal that he would like to focus on. “For me, I just want to be able to have fun,” Tarczewski said. “It’s my last year in college. I’m never going to get to do it again, and to be able to go out there and enjoy my senior year, … step away with a degree and hopefully win a ton of basketball games this year—I think that’s the most important thing for me.” Miller said the leadership these two bring,
along with newcomers Ryan Anderson and Mark Tollefsen, will be instrumental to this team’s success. “These four seniors—three of which were with us a year ago, adding [Tollefsen] as a fourth—I hope will guide the ship to this season,” Miller said. York has been one of Arizona’s steadiest improvements over the past couple of seasons. The West Covina, California, native played in all 37 games for the Wildcats last season and started 13 of them. York said staying patient gave him a level head as he waited for his opportunity. “As a freshman, don’t get discouraged,” York said. “Don’t get down on yourself and don’t think you’re not good enough to play. You got a scholarship and you’re here for a reason; it’s just not your time yet. … Sophomore year came around and I was playing 20 minutes a game, scoring the ball and doing what I love to do.” The 6-foot-3, sharp-shooting guard is one of the better 3-point shooters on the team and was second in free throw percentage last season. He was given the start at shooting guard during the exhibition against Chico State and finished 5-for-8 from the field with 13 points, five rebounds and two assists. York said he is looking to become more than just a shooter. Like Tarczewski, York also said he is embracing the leadership role as senior. “Whether I like it or not, I have to be in that role,” York said. “I like being able to talk and communicate throughout the whole practice and letting the younger guys know what they’re supposed to do in certain situations. I’ve been through it for three years now. I’ve been through 300-plus practices. I know how it works, so it makes the game easier for me, too, because not only do I get to help them, but I get to improve myself.” In Arizona’s Friday opener, look for York and Tarczewski to help lead the young and talented roster. On a team with so many new faces and with their wealth of experience, these two seniors will show why having fouryear seniors is so valuable to a team’s success in college basketball today.

NCAA blows the whistle on rules BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat
MEN’S
Quick! You better shoot The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a proposal over the summer to reduce the shot clock from 35 seconds to 30 seconds in hopes of speeding up the pace of play. This is the first time the NCAA has reduced the shot clock since 1993, when it dropped from 45 seconds to 35 seconds. Please don’t kill my vibe Teams will now have one fewer timeout to use in the second half, as only three timeouts can be carried over rather than four. This rule was also implemented to quicken the time of games and help teams maintain rhythm and pace in the second half. The arc just got bigger Another change the panel approved is to move the restricted area arc from 3 feet to 4 feet around the hoop. The idea behind the change is that it will lead to fewer fouls and collisions beneath the basket, therefore reducing hard falls and major injuries like concussions.
WOMEN’S
Four-quarter conversion The biggest rule change affecting women’s basketball is the decision to turn two 20-minute halves into four 10-minute quarters. According to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Rules Committee, the switch from halves to quarters will improve the flow of games. Take it out in the frontcourt The NCAA rules committee implanted a change that “allows teams to advance the ball to the frontcourt following a timeout immediately after a made basket in the last 59.9 seconds of the fourth quarter and any overtime periods.” The NCAA hopes inbounding the ball in the frontcourt in late game situations will make the endings of games more exciting. Let’s get loud One of the more seemingly trivial changes to affect women’s basketball this season will be that pep bands and amplified music can be played during any dead-ball situation. The previous rules prohibited any music to be played outside of timeouts and intermissions. — Follow Ezra Amacher @EzraAmacher

Freshmen prepared for spotlight BY Ivan Leonard The Daily Wildcat
F
reshmen have been an integral part of every Sean Miller-coached team at Arizona, and this year will be no exception. Whether it’s been a leading role like those of Stanley Johnson and Aaron Gordon, or a supporting cast like Parker JacksonCartwright, Gabe York and Elliot Pitts, Miller has never been afraid to stick freshmen in the spotlight. This year’s trio of collegiate newcomers is more than capable of fitting Miller’s style. “We have some young pieces that may have an impact on this team and we lost some players [from] last year,” freshman point guard Justin Simon said. “But we can bring something big to the Pac-12 [Conference] this year.” Simon played sparingly in Arizona’s exhibition game, but his diverse game will definitely play a role down the line. Although Arizona lost many key players from last year’s team, Simon is confident the Wildcats have what it takes to get it done. Five-star recruit Allonzo Trier headlines what is Arizona’s fourth straight top-six recruiting class. The guard averaged 26 points per game at a clip of 54 percent from the field and 42 percent from beyond the arc during his senior season at Findlay Prep, so Trier will be able to step into a multifaceted role in Arizona’s offense. Trier can spot up and spread out the offense, or he can drive to the basket and either convert at the rim or get to the foul line at a high rate. Miller has coached Trier the last two summers in the U10 FIBA World Basketball Championship, so Trier may have an experience advantage over the other freshmen. Center Chance Comanche rounds out the troika of freshmen, and while he may only play sparingly due to the logjam that is Arizona’s frontcourt, Comanche has the potential to be an exciting and productive player down the road. Aside from being a 20-point

S
ean Miller hauls in a recruiting class every season that is highlighted by one player saddled with incredibly high expectations. All eyes this year will be set on one freshman and how the youngster can compete at the high standard set by Arizona basketball. The year of Stanley Johnson was last season, and Miller always talked about how hard he coached the prolific guard. It showed considering Miller still gave him an earful due to lack of defense or simply being lazy on the transition, even when Johnson was performing well. That being said, Johnson finished the season averaging just shy of 14 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. Johnson didn’t just get it done offensively, though; his defensive drive was
constantly overlooked because he was sharing the same court with the relentless Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Johnson averaged 1.5 steals per game for Arizona and, standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing in at 245 pounds, the artist formerly known as “Stanimal” was a force to be reckoned with. Johnson was a star in the making in his lone season at Arizona, and even when adversity hit when he was benched early in the season, he still managed to lead Miller to his first Pac-12 Conference Tournament Championship and become the No. 8 pick in the NBA Draft. Every one of Miller’s freshman stars is always compared to the All-American from the previous season. It’s understandable that Allonzo Trier isn’t receiving the benefit of the doubt when compared to Johnson; the season hasn’t started. But Johnson’s ambition to win and become great was like no other player to walk through McKale Center. — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports

W
hile Stanley Johnson did win Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and was an integral part to last season’s Elite Eight run, I expect Allonzo Trier to have a better freshman season, even if the numbers don’t end up saying so. Our expectations for last year and for Johnson were tremendous and now, with this season’s team already flying under the radar, Arizona can ease Trier into his role instead of throwing him into the fire like they tried with Johnson. Johnson was also Arizona’s only scorer last season, unless you include Brandon Ashley, so Johnson had to force the issue. That is not the case for this year’s team. With Ryan Anderson, Gabe York, Kadeem
Allen and an improved Kaleb Tarczewski, Trier can play in the flow of the offense and does not have to force shots like Johnson did. Trier is also a much better shooter than Johnson was, so that should help widen the lanes for York, Allen and Parker JacksonCartwright and help the Wildcats against the daunting zones they have struggled against in conference play. Sean Miller has coached Trier before with the USA Basketball U-19 team, so Trier should be a step ahead on the learning curve and is already talking Miller’s language with his efforts to “lock in” on defense—something Johnson had trouble with at times. If the Wildcats are going to have any shot at a deep postseason run, they are going to need solid contributions from Trier, and while he may be a reserve now, he should be the top dog when conference play rolls around.

Wildcats begin long journey BY Matt Wall
The Daily Wildcat
Arizona women’s basketball is ready to kick off its regular season on the road against Toledo on Saturday, aiming to finish far better than the past few years. “We have people coming back from last year’s team, but we also have new bodies from freshmen,” Arizona women’s head coach Niya Butts said. “We have people who were out last year and didn’t play due to injuries or not being on the roster for whatever reason. I like our team and I like our roster. I don’t like them every single day, but I like them more days than I don’t.” Butts has compiled a measly 79-108 overall career record in seven years of coaching at Arizona after graduating from Tennessee and playing four seasons under Pat Summit from 1996-2000. Last year’s team finished with an overall record of 1020, including 3-15 in the Pac12 Conference. This year’s Wildcats, however, come in with more experience and a healthier squad. Arizona did somewhat well last season in staying above .500 at home (8-7 record) when compared to its away record of 2-11. So the Wildcats will lean on more consistent play at home while trying to improve their road competitiveness and ability to win outside of McKale Center. New season, new faces The Wildcats are returning three starters: LaBrittney Jones, Malena Washington and Keyahndra Cannon, but lost two key pieces in Candice Warthen and Alli Gloyd. The team also welcomes four newcomers to the roster: Michal Miller, Eugenie Simonet-Keller, Destiny Graham and A’Shanti Coleman. Simonet-Keller, the 6-foot-8 freshman from Le Biot, France, is the second-tallest player in the Pac-12. This new-look Wildcats team, however, will still lean on its veterans to lead the way back to relevance. “I’m a big leader on this team and have actually been chosen as one of the captains,”
Jones said. “I take that role very personally and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to help the team out.” Jones represented the Wildcats at Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Media Day in California. She averaged nine points and almost six rebounds per game last season, but will surely take a larger role in the offense this year. A team sport The Wildcats are forming a strong bond as a team. Each player has come in looking to contribute right away. “I think that I have a lot to do with our improvement and just helping everybody along,” junior forward Breanna Workman said. “I think that there is a lot I can bring to the table with helping other people. I will do whatever coach Butts needs me to do to get the job done.” Just stay healthy Injury prevention will be the main focus for the team in the coming weeks. Injuries plagued team performance and constantly disrupted the Wildcats’ focus last season. Arizona also returns redshirt freshman guard Taryn Griffey this year, who did not play all last season due to injury. Arizona was picked during media day to finish last in the Pac-12 this year. While Butts surely has not had as much success in terms of wins and losses at Arizona as she may have hoped for, the players are confident in the intensity that she brings. In fact, it’s the main reason why Arizona picked up a transfer. “Just [Butts’] energy and the person she is,” said Lauren Evans, the transfer redshirt junior guard from Virginia Tech. “She really cares about every individual player down the line and I thought that was a great positive. I know it was where I wanted to be and she would be somebody I [would] work for.” With many opponents possibly overlooking the Wildcats this season, Arizona has a lot to prove.

Arizona forward LaBrittney Jones (24) bypasses Stanford forward Erica McCall (24) while making a jump shot in McKale Center on Feb. 8. Jones returns for her junior season as a veteran leader for a determined Wildcat team.
Arizona women’s basketball head coach Niya Butts’ squad was picked to finish last in the conference this season at Pac12 Conference media day. The Wildcats are coming off a dismal season where they finished 1020, including seven-game and five-game losing streaks. However, don’t quit on these Wildcats before the season even starts. The eight-season Arizona head coach was a Lady Vol at Tennessee from 1996-2000, where she won back-to-back national titles in 1997 and 1998 under the great Pat Summit. Butts has been one of the most successful coaches with Arizona women’s basketball and boasts 11 returning players this season. Butts isn’t paying too much attention to last year’s outcome. “I think you have to try and go with a clean slate,” Butts said. “You try not to talk about it at all, but you obviously have to revisit it at some point. If you don’t know what your history was, you’re doomed to repeat it.” The question is, why would returning a bunch of players from a team that underperformed be a reason for optimism? Well, the obvious answer would be experience. Last year’s team was young and struggled, but they had some great moments—most notably a 60-57 upset over No. 12 Stanford in McKale Center. Candice Warthen, one of the most decorated players in school history, graduated after last season. Butts said the team will have to fill that hole with a committee-style approach. “I like our group,” Butts said. “So far, I think people have started to show what they can really do, and so we’re looking forward to getting the season going.” The Wildcats do return junior forward LaBrittney Jones, who
started in 17 of the Wildcats 31 games last season. Butts has a few areas where she’d like to see Jones improve upon, however. “More leadership, getting better and stronger,” Butts said. “Getting her knees right and getting her body healthy. We put a lot of minutes on our freshmen and sophomores over the last couple of years just because we didn’t have numbers. Now, I think this summer, she used that to really work on strengthening her body and just getting better.” Butts has a lot of expectations for Jones as the season opener draws closer, and for good reason. Jones led the team in field goal percentage (42.8), rebounds (5.7) and blocks (1.5) per game a year ago. “I expect her to be on the floor and offer us her rebounding ability and [ability] to score the basketball, but also, she has to be able to lead our team,” Butts said. With so many returners and a fresh start, expect the Wildcats to come out looking to prove others wrong. “Just to recognize where we are and the position we put ourselves in and take that and run with it,” sophomore guard JaLea Bennett said of the team’s mindset. “We have to come into the gym with a chip on our shoulder, because we have a point to prove. We have to prove people wrong.” Still, it makes sense as to why the other conference coaches chose Arizona to finish last this season, especially after last year. “I didn’t expect them to pick us anywhere else,” Butts said. “I mean, that’s what we showed last year. We have people coming back from last year’s team, but we also have new bodies. I feel good about that. I like our team, and I like our roster.”

Butts hopes health and depth will lead to success BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat
N
o matter which preseason poll or projection you come across for the Pac-12 Conference, you’ll see the Arizona women’s basketball team listed at the very bottom. In both the Pac-12 Coaches Poll and Media Poll, for example, the Wildcats were picked to finish dead last. It’s not much of a surprise, though, considering the team was tied for the worst record in the conference last season and lost their best player, Candice Warthen. “I didn’t expect them to pick us anywhere else,” Arizona head coach Niya Butts said. “I mean, that’s what we showed last year.” The team finished with a 10-20 record and a 3-15 conference record but is making sure it doesn’t dwell on last season for the wrong reasons. Butts said they have to revisit last year’s depths to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself. It was certainly a rough season, but there’s hope the Wildcats can finally turn things around this year. One reason the team struggled last year was because it had some serious depth issues. Arizona often played with just eight players and would simply run out of steam in the second half of games. That should change this season, however. “For us, it’s just depth—having healthy bodies,” Butts said. “This is the first year in three or four years, maybe five, that we’ve actually gone into the season and had everybody that was on the roster able to actually step on the floor and participate and not be out for the season.” Butts said she felt it was necessary to alter the team’s training habits to help avoid the injury bug. “Change is a must if you want to continue to grow, and obviously, we [want to] do that,” she said. “We have to keep an eye on how hard we go. … We as coaches have to take a step back and say, ‘We can sit out this drill or maybe sit out this day,’ in order to have them when the season comes around.” It would be rather unusual for Arizona to have depth, but Butts said she thinks it could actually be the team’s strength this season. “Our strength will be in our numbers,” Butts said during Pac-12 media day. “I haven’t been able to say that in a while. I think our depth will be pretty good.”
The team’s improved health, along with a revamped roster, has Butts feeling good heading into the season. She said the returners will play an important role, but she’s also confident the freshmen and players who didn’t see the court a lot last season will step up this year. The Wildcats added four new freshmen, including 6-foot-8 French center Eugenie Simonet-Keller—a three-time selection on the French National Team. “On the court, [Simonet-Keller] has a lot of tools for us to work with,” Butts said in a press release in April. “She is mobile, has great hands and the ability to face up. [She] has a huge upside and strong work ethic. Our staff is excited to get in the gym with her as she continues to develop her game.” Simonet-Keller could add some much-needed size to a small Arizona team. Newcomers aside, the Wildcats will return LaBrittney Jones, who led the team in rebounding last season and is the team’s leading scorer among all returning players. Butts said she expects her to shine, but also expects Jones to be the team’s leader off the court. “I expect [Jones] to be on the floor, offer us some rebounding ability, as well as being able to score the basketball,” Butts said. “But she has to be able to lead our team inside the locker room, [too].” Redshirt freshman Taryn Griffey is another key player to watch. Griffey missed the entire season last year due to injury, but was the Florida 8A Player of the Year as a sophomore in high school and could be one of the team’s more talented players. “I’m just happy for [Griffey],” Butts said. “She hasn’t seen the floor in three years. That can be tough. I’m excited for her. She’s a smart basketball player; she handled her return really well. She’s going to be an asset to this team. I’m looking forward to seeing her once the lights go on.” The team might not have relatively high expectations compared to the nation’s elite programs, but the newfound depth and talent can provide a positive outlook coming into the season. “I think every year, you are given a chance to prove something regardless of where you’re picked [to finish],” Butts said. “But every day, we are going to work the same. My mindset is the same every year no matter where you’re picked. My effort doesn’t change.” Jesus Barrera/The Daily Wildcat

Someone is Looking for You ! There IS a superior intelligence “out there” — and a loving one too. Your Creator wants you to acknowledge Him, and come to know Him and His ways. Don’t be deceived by evolutionism. All creation screams of intelligent design! The odds alone of DNA evolving are virtually nil. Evolutionism is the only “science” that denies the law of degeneration (entropy). God alone is the origin of life, and the true God wants/ needs no one to take away life for Him – beware the “god” that does! God exists, and the Bible is His Word. What is unique about the Bible? For one thing, it is the only book with fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10). Test it yourself! For starters, try (current situation) Psalm 83 and Zechariah 12; (reformation of Israel after nearly 1900 years) Isaiah 11:11-12, Isaiah 43:5-6, Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 16:14-15, Jeremiah 31:710, Amos 9:9-15, Ezekiel 34:12-31, Ezekiel 36, and Ezekiel 37:21-22; (suffering/crucifixion of Christ) Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53; (future situation) Zechariah 13:7 - 14:21; (timing of the 2nd Coming of Christ) Joel 3:1-2, 2 Peter 3:8/Hosea 5:14 - 6:2. “Too hard to read and understand” you say? Try the KJV/Amplified parallel bible (book) or KJV/Amplified/Complete Jewish parallel bible (biblegateway.com), and for a strict literal translation try Young’s Literal. “It’s all in how you interpret it” you say? The Bible, despite numerous transcribers over hundreds of years, is remarkably consistent/coherent and interprets itself. Our Creator is the actual author (2Peter 1:16-21). Beware of modern, liberal translations from “the higher critics” which seriously distort the Word! Finally, if there is a God, why is there so much evil? We have rejected God, and now see what it is like to live in a world where God has permitted us (temporarily) to rule ourselves. Give up your lusts, and come to your Creator and follow His ways (Jude 1:18-25). All that this world has to offer is as nothing compared to what He has in store for those who love Him (1Corinthians 2:9 , John 14:15)!

BY Emma Jackson The Daily Wildcat
In this week’s edition of “Hey, Barkeep!” Jeronimo Madril from Che’s Lounge talks watermelon margaritas and getting “in the zone” when the bar gets packed with patrons. Daily Wildcat: How long have you been bartending? Madril: I’ve been bartending [for] about two years. I started as a bar-back, so I’ve been here for almost four now. How did you decide you wanted to start bartending here? Well, being at Che’s, we’re a very tight family here and it’s one of those things where you’re asked to work here. So when I was given the opportunity, I took it [and] ran with it to see how I felt about it. I’ve worked in kitchens my entire life, so I just kind of went with it, ‘cause I’ve always wanted to work here. I’ve always heard great things about this place, and it’s a wonderful sense. It’s a great family to work for— the owners, they’re super nice people and very understanding.
What do you like most about bartending? Interacting with people. You know, we’ll talk and socialize. And just getting to know my customers on a much closer level than I ever could as a cook. Do you have a favorite drink to make? I really enjoy making the watermelon margaritas. They’re a lot of fun because you can muddle something and it definitely impresses everyone when they get to see it, so I definitely enjoy that.
So you have a lot of regulars here? Definitely. I don’t like to call them regulars, I like to call them locals, because we’re a local bar. We definitely appeal to Tucson; that’s what we try to do. We try to make cocktails that locals would enjoy.
Do you have a least favorite drink to make? I feel like my hardest drink is my favorite drink to make, so anything else from there is just easy-peasy.
What can customers do to make your job more enjoyable or easier? Be prepared. Anyone who comes to the bar and [doesn’t] know what they want, and I say “Hey, what can I get for you?” and you turn to your friends and ask them what they want… Just be prepared, know your order, have your money ready because we like to be fast and we want to get our drinks to our customers as fast as possible.
Do you have any memorable customers? Definitely all of my customers are memorable for the most part, but the more you come in, the more we get to know you and see how you interact with everybody else in the bar. You become a favorite customer. I can’t say I have just one because we have so many different people that come in every day.
Do you get stressed out when it gets really busy here? I enjoy the stress, personally. Like I said, I grew up in kitchens, worked a lot, so I love a stressful night. When we have Halloween and it’s packed to the walls, and when I’m losing my mind—that’s when I’m most in focus. It’s when I’m talking like this when I get distracted a little bit, but when I’m in my zone, I’m in my zone.
Do you have a certain strategy to make sure you’re serving everyone as fast as you can? Yeah, definitely. I don’t know how I would sum up my strategy, but it’s definitely focusing on knocking out as many drinks as I can in time, so when I take drinks I usually take four to seven drinks. I’ll try to get beers knocked out before I start muddling my mojitos, my watermelon margaritas, things like that. And a lot of bartenders work like that here. We try to knock out the easy drinks first, get you your drink and give it the time and attention it deserves. What do you think makes customers want to come to Che’s instead of all the other bars on Fourth [Avenue]? It’s because we’re a local bar, we’re definitely that spot. I don’t consider us a dive bar, I don’t consider us a college bar—I don’t consider us any of those genres. We’re just a local bar. We’ve been here for 15 years and Tucsonans love us ‘cause we’re doing something right.

A side of pickles: Sausage Deli
Nick Smallwood/The Daily Wildcat
Located on 754 E. Grant Rd., the Sausage Deli has been serving students some of the freshest sandwiches in Tucson. Offering a wide variety of sandwiches and a wealth of sides to choose from, this hoagie haven is a must try for the hungry student.
The quality, authentic deli sandwiches of Tucson’s local Sausage Deli differentiates it from other assembly line sandwich shops by kristine Bruun-Andersen The Daily Wildcat
Sausage Deli, a local sandwich shop, provides a traditional delicatessen experience to UA students and, in more recent years, Tucson locals as well. Sausage Deli has served fresh, fulfilling and satisfying sandwiches for over 30 years, according to its website, and has been a hot spot for UA students since 1978. The website also emphasizes the recent interest that locals and those traveling through Tucson have had in the deli. The restaurant is located on the corner of Grant Road and First
Avenue, with easy access, plenty of parking and a convenient stop for a delicious lunch. Customers are drawn in by the home-style building but stay for the extensive menu and options for beer on tap. Customers seemed to enjoy the casual dining room and outside porch, but you can choose to pick up your food to go, too. Sausage Deli prides itself on its traditional specials, including the Meatball Sandwich for $6.49 on a roll or upgraded to the sandwich sub for $7.49. This sandwich comes smothered in red marinara, hot, melted provolone and Parmesan, and is topped with peperoncini.
The sub was soft, fluffy and freshly baked. Other specials include the Barbecue Special, made with beef and barbecue sauce, as well as the Sausage and Peppers sub, which includes Italian sausage, sauteed onions and peppers. All specials, as well as most sandwiches, cost about the same. Customers can expect to pay around $10-15 for a lunch meal with a drink. All sandwiches are served with a side of pickles, upholding the traditional deli style with a salty, fresh addition to a delicious sandwich. All ingredients tasted fresh and the food was served
quickly and correctly. However, the one downside to Sausage Deli is its mightily inconvenient hours. The deli is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m, making it difficult for students who have class all day to get over to the restaurant. Also, the deli is closed on Sundays. In comparison to other sandwich shops around town, Sausage Deli definitely presents something unique. Many shops don’t offer fresh sausage in their subs. At Sausage Deli, nothing is preprepared, preserved or left sitting out all day like other assembly line sandwich shops. Meats and cheeses are cut
fresh daily, and customers can expect a high-quality sandwich in a clean, welcoming and friendly environment. Sausage Deli also offers affordable catering, making it easy for customers to enjoy their subs at any occasion. Overall, this deli is doing it right by providing quality meals for Tucson residents and definitely stands out among other sandwich shops in the area.

A fall weekend in the desert The final home football game, a celebration for veterans, a bike swap and the Arizona Repertory Theatre’s ‘Reckless’ mark an eventful weekend in Tucson
BY VICTORIA PEREIRA The Daily Wildcat
U
tes vs. ‘Cats — After a season of incredible wins and heartbreaking losses, the UA football team is playing its last home game Saturday. The Utah Utes will face off against our Arizona Wildcats at 8 p.m., and according to the AP College Football Top 25, it should be an intense game. Utah is currently ranked No. 10 in the nation, whereas Arizona has fallen short of the list for the last several weeks. Either Utah could prove that it belongs in its spot on the list, or Arizona could use its home field advantage to the team’s benefit. The game will be a blue-out to support the Cats, so bundle up in your best blue UA gear and get ready for some football. GABA Bike Swap — Anyone who’s been in Tucson for longer than a few days has noticed the town’s love of cycling. Multiple bicycle shops
are open for business within walking distance from campus, and a multitude of green bike racks on university grounds are constantly full of students’ and faculty members’ bicycles. It’s no wonder why the Greater Arizona Bicycling Association is holding its 2015 Bike Swap right on Seventh Street between Fourth and Sixth Avenues on Sunday. The “largest bicycle swap in the Southwest,” according to the event’s online information page, has hosted over 40 vendors and up to 5,000 guests in past years. With the event just a week before the famed El Tour de Tucson, there’s never been a better time to be a cyclist. Hats Off to Heroes — In honor of Veterans Day on Wednesday, the city of Tucson will thank and commemorate those who have served in the U.S. armed forces. Reid Park will host the second annual Hats Off to Heroes celebration Saturday, beginning the festivities with a 5K fun run at 9 a.m. before hours of live
music, food, military displays and honors for veterans. The celebration will come to a close with a fireworks display beginning at 7:30 p.m., and all events are free. A full list of the festival’s events and musical acts are available online at hatsofftoheroes.org. “Reckless” — Just after the close of its fall musical, “Cabaret,” the Arizona Repertory Theatre presents its newest production, “Reckless.” In this dark comedy by Craig Lucas, a housewife discovers her husband’s plans to kill her via a hitman. In her journey to escape her mariticidal fate, the housewife finds herself in a variety of interesting situations. The play began its run Sunday and the company will perform it until Dec. 6. This weekend the group will perform the show Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. in the Marroney Theatre. Tickets can be purchased online or at the theater box office.
Rivalry Run — With only a week left until the most intense football game of the season, the Student Alumni Ambassadors host the first-ever Rivalry Run: a campuswide scavenger hunt, race and obstacle course to get the student body pumped up for the State Farm Territorial Cup Series. Teams of students can sign up to participate in the scavenger hunt and participate in rivalry themed activities, including games like “Boot the Bruins” and “Spear Sparky.” Participants have the chance to win one of several prizes for finishing first or second, being deemed most spirited or having the most representation from a single organization. Online registration has closed, but students can still sign up today at the event or simply go to cheer on their classmates.

Controversial name leads to criticism BY Gabriella Vukelic The Daily Wildcat
A soon-to-open campus restaurant is coming under fire for its controversial name. While some have deemed it offensive, the owner calls the name “mysterious and playful.” Pete Turner, the founder of the restaurant Illegal Pete’s, was given a letter by a student group urging him to change the name of the restaurant chain that will soon make an appearance on University Boulevard. Members of the UA chapter of Movimento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlan, or M.E.Ch.A., a student organization dedicated to uniting Chicano students for social justice causes, wrote in a letter to Turner that the name Illegal Pete’s, is offensive to the large population of Hispanic people in Tucson. In a change.org petition, the organization demanded the restaurant have its named changed or not operate in Tucson. In its letter, M.E.Ch.A. explained that the name is considered offensive, ignorant and racist toward Mexican, Mexican-American and Central-American culture in Tucson. “… [We] are not like other communities where your business exists, and we are more than willing to show you that,” M.E.Ch.A. correspondents

The future site of Illegal Pete’s sits on the southwest corner of Tyndall Avenue and University Boulevard on Nov. 12. Illegal Pete’s owner, Pete Turner, has recently received criticism from local groups because of the eatery’s controversial name.
wrote in the group’s letter. “We are here to tell you that no longer will you be able to claim blissful ignorance and profit from racism.” According to the Arizona Daily Star, this is not the first time Turner was ordered to change the name of his restaurant chain. Residents of Fort Collins, Colorado, where a branch of the restaurant opened last year, also
petitioned for an end to the name. Turner has repeatedly defended the name. The planned opening of Illegal Pete’s is in midDecember at 876 E. University Blvd. According to the Illegal Pete’s website, the first restaurant opened in Boulder, Colorado, in 1995. The website states that Turner’s inspiration for the name came from a bar he read about in a novel,
as well as from his late father’s name: Pete. “He was a bit of a good-natured hell-raiser in his day,” Turner said about his father on the site. “He was my moral support during the months leading to opening, and the two years of operation up to his death in August 1997.” Tucson will be Tuner’s first out-of-state installation of the Illegal Pete’s chain. The restaurant serves a Mexican-style menu, with tacos and burritos, and its locations are typically centered in college towns. While many think the name is offensive, others have a different opinion. Jennifer Emerson, a sophomore studying speech, language and hearing sciences, said she believes those who think Illegal Pete’s is attacking Hispanics are overreacting. “I don’t really think it’s offensive at all. The name is fine, especially that it is a chain, so it has nothing to do with targeting Hispanics in Tucson,” Emerson said. “I bet a bunch of students wouldn’t think it’s racist. The people protesting are just completely overreacting.”

Telemedicine: doctors in the digital age BY Michelle Jaquette The Daily Wildcat
The way people receive medical care in Arizona and across the globe is transforming. Physicians have been able to diagnose disease, provide consultations during surgery and help family members care for
patients suffering serious illnesses via video. This new sector of health care is known as telehealth or telemedicine, and it’s a growing industry. “It’s been estimated this past year that the number of people receiving telemedicine services went up from about 10 million to 15 million [in the U.S.],” said Dr. Ronald S. Weinstein, a
co-founder of Arizona Telemedicine Program and pioneer of robotic telemedicine. The Arizona Telemedicine Program, based out of the UA, leads the nation in the number of papers published on telehealth, and has become a global leader since its founding in 1996. ATP provides opportunities for

Its educational programs have been taught internationally with organizations like the U.S. Army, using ATP to provide assistance abroad. “We provided technical assistance to Panama and educational assistance to Panama for about nine

verification of drivers from passengers. Whaling said that Uber encourages riders to verify their drivers’ identities before they get into the car. The app provides the make and model of the driver’s car, as well as the driver’s name and contact information. Simran Heer, a pre-business freshman who estimated her use of Uber to about 15 times a week, believes this information can be helpful in identifying a driver. “When you go on Uber, you really look for the car that’s on your Uber app,” Heer said. “You’d have to be really out of it to get in a car that’s not the one on your Uber.” The drivers are also able to identify the passengers before they get in the car, allowing them to check if they are picking up the right customer. This kind of two-way identification is echoed in Uber’s rating system. Riders can rate their drivers, while drivers can rate their passengers. This feedback is then monitored by a team, one of which is based in Phoenix. “They’re available 24/7, so if a rider didn’t feel like their driver met their expectations they can alert us and we can look into the situation,” Whaling said. “No trip with Uber is anonymous. We have the data, we have the trip information and rider and driver information as well.” In order to become a driver for Uber, a potential driver has to go through a verification and background check process, according to Whaling. Potential drivers are required to go through a vehicle check and to accept Uber’s terms and conditions before becoming an employed driver. “Uber is assuring their drivers are brought on-board to provide to the rider that everybody is on the same page, so that the person getting their car should be able to have access to the driver like

The Tucson Police Department continues an ongoing investigation in response to an assault by an individual posing as an Uber driver. A person leaving the UA campus was assaulted by an individual posing as an Uber driver, prompting last week’s investigation. According to Officer George Eppley from the University of Arizona Police Department’s Crime Prevention unit, the incident happened when an unidentified person picked up the victim on the UA campus. The driver was given a destination, and while they headed in the direction of that destination, “something occurred,” Eppley said. This is the only recent case of an incident like this happening at the UA, according to Eppley, and he said he doesn’t anticipate this a becoming a trend. However, in order to prevent this from happening again, UAPD sent out a Campus Watch with safety tips for students using Uber, Lyft and other transportation services. These tips range from staying alert at all times to alerting a friend when you are expected to be back. Uber also has safety tips for its passengers. Kayla Whaling, an Uber spokeswoman, encouraged riders to use the Share my ETA button that is in the app. The button allows customers to share their estimated time of arrival at a location with someone they know. Whoever the user sends the ETA will receive a link and, from there, will be able to watch the car take the rider to their destination. “It’s a pretty cool feature where they can actually watch and make sure that you arrive safely,” Whaling said. One concern that might have contributed to the attack is the THE DAILY WILDCAT

you would any cab,” Eppley said. “[Drivers] should be providing information on who they are, as indicated in the Campus Watch.” Eppley said he hopes the tips provided by the Campus Watch help prevent people from getting in a situation similar to the recent incident. Eppley also said he encourages students to use the LiveSafe app, which allows students more ways to contact the police. Eppley said he believes that, in the case of the recent incident, the LiveSafe app might have been able to help. “We certainly would have been able to give them some options on what to do,” Eppley said. “It’s a matter of being aware of your own safety and thinking about personal safety.” — Follow Ava Garcia @ava_garcia_

involved with advocating for telemedicine at the state level. The council meets quarterly in the state capitol with leaders from health organizations to government officials. “Medicare has very strict rules on what is reimbursable, so if a visit doesn’t qualify as a face-to-face visit then the health care agency isn’t paid,” said Dr. Kimberly Shea, ATP’s assistant director of telenursing and an assistant professor in the College of Nursing. “Each state has different regulations as to what qualifies for telehealth reimbursement. This results in the need for lobbying at the state level for change,” she said. With new industries like telehealth, old regulations need to be re-evaluated. One obstacle ATP encountered as it first began expanding its network, was the lack of broadband infrastructure in Arizona, specifically in rural Arizona. In 2007, ATP was awarded part of a $15.56 million grant from the Federal Communications Commission and was able to upgrade and expand the broadband network in the American Southwest. Weinstein said new areas to watch telemedicine transform include mobile health, which takes place over smartphones, and retail telehealth. Mobile health is based on apps that can be downloaded onto a smartphone. “It’s now possible, for example, to put an inexpensive app and a small case hardware into a smartphone,” Weinstein said. “It can
actually do electrocardiograms on patients through smartphones, and patients’ lives have been saved.” ATP works with all of the telemedicine networks in the state, including the Mayo Clinic, which has shown that patient diagnosis over a smartphone is possible. “There are over 100,000 apps that have been developed for mobile health and the FDA is approving many of them,” Weinstein said. “As rapidly as they approve them, they are going into the marketplace.” As for retail telehealth, large pharmaceutical companies like CVS and Walgreens are looking to vend these health services in the near future. In a 2015 press release, UnitedHealthcare announced it would provide coverage for virtual care provider visits in 2016. ATP is also working to expand its telenursing interventions. Shea shared that ATP, the College of Nursing and Banner–Health University Medical Center are looking toward the possibility for a telenursing infrastructure that would serve Tucson and its surrounding regions. BannerHealth University Medical Center Phoenix currently provides telenursing services in the Phoenix area. She said it is a slow process because Banner’s partnership with the university is still fairly new, and the various regulations and criteria it is required to meet make it difficult to combine the programs. — Follow Michelle Jaquette @MichelleJaquet

COMMUNITY CHATTER “What do you think are the differences between the Millennial generation and other generations?”
“They don’t take life as seriously as we used to. We worked hard for everything we’ve got, our house and car. But with the other generation it seems like they just want everything handed to them, like they are entitled to it.” — Angela Wiseman, a Tucson mom and community member
“They weren’t raised to work as hard. People are always trying to find [a way] to make things go faster, like cheating on homework with the Internet. That’s how it’s expanded so much, now instead of looking for it yourself, you can go on Quizlet and find it that way.” — Michael Morris, a nutritional sciences sophomore
“Something I think is different is the technology that we have now, like computers and all that. We can do homework online and they would be more paper-based. Also, the way we grew up, it was stricter back then, and I feel like there is more liberty now.” — Janeth Sosa, a physiology junior
“ T e c h n o l o g y dependence—we rely so heavily on social media for all our social interactions. I remember my mom telling me that she never had computers when she was in college, and had to look things up in textbooks in the library, and I just Google in my dorm in my bed. I think that’s the main difference.” — Sonia Tomaso, a freshman studying molecular and cellular biology
“For one thing, they grew up with technology and we had to learn it. Basically, with technology in the palm of your hand, learning is now a whole lot easier. It’s just a lot different, like I had to memorize stuff, and now, you don’t really have to memorize stuff. You can say ‘Google or Siri, tell me about this’ and you got it.” — Milton Shook, a Tucson community member

“I think the older generations used less technology and had to work harder than us. Imagine when they were in college, they wouldn’t use Google or anything like that, and would actually have to do more research and read books.” — Ghazwan Reyad, a junior studying molecular and cellular biology
“The only major difference I can really see is the technology. There’s a lot more exposure to things like violence and just things in the past that weren’t part of our culture. It’s a whole different society now, we’re just technology savvy. I also think the values are really different now, too. I think it’s challenging for young people now.” – Irene Dinublia, a Tucson community member

here are a few things that make me extremely nervous: having to make a left turn across several lanes of traffic, talking to a beautiful woman that I’m attracted to and being called on in French class. I love French class. The instructor is amazing, the students are a lovely bunch, but when I’m called on to answer a question or asked to speak more than one sentence in French, it’s disastrous. It left me wondering, why does anyone who doesn’t major in a particular foreign language have to take four semesters of it? I’m a double major in English and Religious Studies and I must take four semesters of a foreign language. I originally took French because I thought it would help me woo a woman. That’s a terrible idea, but like most things in life— music in particular— having an appeal to the female population is a strong motivator. My first French class last semester, I went in thinking I would be fluent at the end of French 101. I was given a rude awakening when I was told that it would take many courses and even years to be fluent in the said language. Usually, one has to live in a country
“
where very little to no English is spoken in order to become fluent. Then why would the university make anyone take a language that they’ll slowly but surely forget over time? Tuition costs thousands of dollars and though it’s fun learning it now, I’m going to be pretty frustrated in a few years when nearly all of the French language have left me, unless I live overseas or spend day and night speaking the language. I would much rather have spent the same tuition money on a course of something that I was interested in, or on a course that I know nothing about to see if there’s an interest in there that will help me decide what major I’d like to pursue. The only people who should have to take four semesters of a foreign language are those who plan on majoring in it or those who need language as an intensive portion of their major. Engineering students should also have a vested interest in learning a new language. A lot of engineers will potentially work in a foreign country or with coworkers who speak English as a second language and would vastly benefit from speaking another language. However, even that is a stretch, since they have to take 128 units, as opposed to the average student who has 120. “Students cannot take four semesters
[Non-majors] will either forget the language after graduating or never truly learn the language since they never lived overseas, and will have a huge bill from the UA when they’re all done.”

extensive. If students don’t think the minimum requirements are enough to justify developing language skills, then they should do more to make their time worthwhile. So many students place a huge weight on efficiency, marketability and employability. They should realize that having proficiency in a second language is one of the best ways to directly and indirectly develop these qualities. Language learning develops— in addition to obvious communication skills—listening, analytic and decisionmaking abilities. According to Auburn University, “Graduates often cite foreign language courses as some of the most

valuable courses in college.” College is the perfect time to study a language. If you’re already going to set aside four years of your life to live in an educational vacuum, you might as well do it right. You’re already paying for four years of tuition, and that money might as well go toward developing skillsets that are undeniably valuable.

This brings me back to my original point: the only people who should take four semesters are those who are majoring in the actual language. Everyone else will either forget the language after graduating or never truly learn the language since they never lived overseas and will have a huge bill from the UA when they’re all done.

Texas no hero to LGBTQ community by Jacob Winkelman The Daily Wildcat
V
oters of Houston, Texas, gave LGBTQ+ people a major setback on Nov. 3. By a 61 to 39 percent margin, Houston voters overwhelmingly voted down the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, or HERO, which offered employment, housing, medical care and other types of protection to all people regardless of many factors, some of which include sexual orientation, gender identity and gender information. After the Supreme Court legalized marriage equality in June, the repeal of the Houston ordinance represents some of the backlash from certain religious and conservative groups. Many of these nondiscrimination acts, “religious freedom disputes” and wedding venue controversies are the latest high-profile disagreements pertaining to LGBTQ+ rights. Some members of the media have started to push a narrative implying that liberals pushed too hard too fast and will start to see repercussions over LGBTQ+ rights in a similar trajectory as abortion and female health care issues since Roe v. Wade. One vote in Houston, however, seems like an inaccurate barometer of the country’s opinion on this type of issue, in addition to many other pieces of evidence that suggest conservatives are unlikely to continue to
see success in denying rights to LGBTQ+ individuals. First, the results and campaign strategies of the Houston proposition need to be further analyzed. Democrats and democratic issues across the board do worse in elections that do not take place in presidential years. As PBS notes, 30 percent fewer people tend to vote in midterms and the majority of this drop-off comes from women, young people, African-Americans and Latinos—all groups that are more likely to vote for Democrats. Even with a more conservative electorate, the nondiscrimination ordinance fared extremely poorly in this election because opponents made this complex and multi-faceted law about a single issue: transgender people using the bathroom. Dubbed “the bathroom ordinance,” opponents perpetuated inaccurate and harmful rhetoric convincing many voters in Houston that if this law passed, any man could use the female restroom claiming to be transgender and then sexually assault and rape women. This type of rhetoric is nothing new to the LGBTQ+ community. It wasn’t too long ago that opponents of “gay rights” would perpetuate the myth that homosexuals were more likely to be pedophiles and dangerous for children, thereby permitting society to treat them as lesser. Maintaining the flagrantly false lie of transgender women or pretend-transgender women, raping people in the bathroom is just the same bigoted propaganda in a new form. Houston already has a law prohibiting
The Daily Wildcat
people of the opposite sex using the wrong bathroom, and this ordinance wouldn’t have changed that. Perhaps the scariest part of all this is that other campaigns will use Houston tactics to defeat similar measures. “No men in the women’s restroom” became the only issue on this ballot, and it worked. After the results of the election, Houston Mayor Annise D. Parker, who is out as a lesbian, had this to say: “This was a campaign of fear mongering and deliberate lies. … [This] was a calculated campaign of lies designed to demonize a little-understood minority.” Despite the bad day for the LGBTQ+, and specifically the transgender community, there are many signs pointing to America’s growing acceptance of LGBTQ+ people. According to recent Gallup polls, 68 percent of Americans believe consenting relationships between gay and lesbians should be allowed and 58 percent believe in marriage equality. In regards to transgender issues specifically, a majority of Americans consider someone who is transgender to be morally acceptable, according to YouGov, and an even larger majority of Millennials don’t believe in the traditional gender binary of only men and women.
“
All of these polls see a wider range of support for LGBTQ+ rights from younger generations than older ones. Millennials are far more open-minded than their parents’ and grandparents’ generations about LGBTQ+ issues, which is not a trend likely to regress. Although marriage equality is settled in the U.S., the HERO in Houston demonstrates how much progress still needs to be made, especially concerning transgender rights. As people continue to meet more LGBTQ+ people, see accurate depictions of the transgender community in the media and learn more information about these identities, progress will happen. The LGBTQ+ community and their allies must be vigilant and smart about their tactics and work hard to ensure that defeats like this don’t happen anymore.
Although marriage equality is settled in the United States, the HERO in Houston demonstrates how much progress still needs to be made.”

Football isn’t everything for Parks BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat
S
enior Day in Arizona Stadium is emotional and unforgettable regardless of what a players’ role is on the team. Imagine fastening the chinstrap and putting on the pads for the last time in front of tens of thousands of your screaming home fans. Being honored before the game and walking out of the tunnel with family is a bittersweet milestone for any player. Saturday’s final home matchup of the season against No. 10 Utah will have an electric atmosphere similar to the UCLA game earlier this season, but this time, it’s with a chance to become bowl-eligible. For Arizona senior safety Will Parks, Senior Day has always been marked on the calendar. Saturday’s game will also be the first time that both Parks’ parents will be together in the stands cheering for him. Monday’s press conference should’ve been supplied with tissues, because just talking about the occasion made Parks choke up. “First of all, to go out there and get Utah, a top 10 team, on senior night, with my mom and dad coming to town [means] a whole lot to me,” Parks said. “I am going to go out there and do what I have to do, knowing that [my parents] are up there at the same time.” Parks was just like any other recruit from Philadelphia: He was either going to the University of Pittsburgh, Penn State or Temple University, in

order to play in front of his family every weekend. Parks said he was originally committed to Pittsburgh and made the transition to the UA because of one person. Some would jump to conclusion and assume head coach Rich Rodriguez was the deciding factor, but someone else in the Arizona football program turned out to be it for Parks. On-campus recruiting coordinator Matt Dudek will always have a special place in his heart. “I’ve known Dudek for a long time and I feel
like he’s had my back since day one, since he was recruiting me at Pitt and then coming here,” Parks said. “Every time I talk to my dad, he asks, ‘How’s my man Dudek doing?’ And I tell Dudek who always says, ‘Man, tell Big Willy I said, “Hello. Come out here soon, man.”’ It’s the same thing every time. I feel like he is family.” The defense’s focus turned to Parks this season after he had a productive year in 2014 and Scooby Wright III went down early this year. Despite Arizona’s defense struggling to stay healthy and
to keep other teams from scoring, Parks said he wouldn’t trade the experience of being a Wildcat for anything. Rodriguez has his heated moments on the sideline whenever the defense folds, but only out of respect. The head coach has always been a personal mentor to these players, according to Parks. “When you’re getting coached at and he’s getting mad, you kind of get scared,” Parks said. “But there are a lot of things he’s done for us that I don’t think anyone else would have. What he did for us is bigger than just a football moment. He helped us achieve our goals by teaching us to play hard, whether or not you win or lose.” Parks has played in a bowl game every season he’s been with the program. There might not be another player who wants to come out on top against Utah more than “Philly Willy” does. The safety will put on the Arizona red and blue for the 51st time Saturday night. Parks has racked up 180 total tackles, 18 tackles for loss and four interceptions in his four seasons with the Wildcats. Regardless of what the scoreboard shows when the final whistle blows, Parks will end his Arizona career with no regrets. “[This team has] had my back, just like I have had theirs, for the past four years,” Parks said. “I wouldn’t change any of these people for anything. It is going to be emotional. With all the questions I’ve been getting, I’ve been realizing it more and more.” — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports
Arizona set to tip off newest campaign BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat
Arizona men’s basketball tips off its season Friday night against Pacific in a matchup that should offer Sean Miller a test drive of his new batch of players. Yes, the No. 12 Wildcats have plenty of familiar faces, but the Arizona head coach expects inexperience to shine through in the team’s first couple of games. Four of Arizona’s five starters are gone from last year’s team that went 34-4 and reached the Elite Eight for the second consecutive season. In steps a host of newcomers— freshmen and transfers—who will all be out to prove themselves in the season opener. “We still have a lot to work out,”
Miller said Wednesday. “We could have a lot of different types of lineups to work out in the month of November.” Seniors Gabe York, Kaleb Tarczewski and Ryan Anderson all seem to be sure locks. But outside of that trio, expect a lot of roster movement in the next couple weeks. Anderson, a transfer from Boston College, has made the biggest impression on Miller thus far and is a good pick to be the Wildcats’ leading scorer, at least early on in the year. The 6-foot-9- senior forward scored a team-high 19 points in Arizona’s 90-54 exhibition victory over Chico State last weekend. Anderson recorded a double-double by grabbing 10 rebounds as well. “He’s been very impressive every day,” Miller said. “That’s when you
really believe in somebody is when you see it every single day. I have no doubt that if [Anderson] remains healthy, he’s going to have a great year for us, and I believe he has the chance to be one of the best players at his position.” Another transfer, forward Mark Tollefsen, is another good bet to start Friday night, given that he earned a starting role in the exhibition. A fifthyear senior out of the University of San Francisco, Tollefsen comes to Arizona with a 6-foot-9 frame that should instantly provide size down low. Between Anderson and Tollefsen, as well as returning centers Tarczewski and Dusan Ristic, Arizona could find a decisive advantage in the paint against a rather small Pacific team.
The Tigers, who play in the West Coast Conference, will instead rely heavily on a pair of junior guards: T.J. Wallace and David Taylor. Wallace, a 6-foot-9 point guard, led Pacific in scoring last season with 13 points per game. He was also one of the team’s leading rebounders and assist-men. “[Wallace] is big and strong,” Miller said. “He certainly is capable of being someone who can score 15 or 16 points a game this year.” While Pacific’s backcourt should give the Tigers some hope, the team will be without three players due to a lingering NCAA investigation. According to a report earlier this week by ESPN’s Jeff Goodman, Pacific’s Eric Thompson, Alec Kobre and Sami Eleraky are being withheld until cleared by the NCAA. The
investigation surrounds academic misconduct within the program. Miller, however, stressed that at this time of the year, the opponent, or even the anatomy of the opponent, subsides to his own team’s makeup. “A season opener, most of the time, is about you,” Miller said. “How ready are we? Because neither team can control the scouting element or the familiarity as much as we would like, because we don’t have a lot on each other. It’s more about how we do the things we’re supposed to do.” The game will tip off at 7:30 p.m. on Friday in McKale Center. Catch the live broadcast on Pac-12 Arizona.

Baker has accumulated 933 yards on 175 attempts, good for 5.3 yards per carry, as the backup to some of the Pac-12’s premier rushers. He has scored nine times with a long run of 79 yards. Baker has also averaged 21 yards per return with special teams. The senior served as a backup during his freshman and sophomore seasons to one of the Pac-12’s all-time greats, Ka’Deem Carey, before backing up leading rushing Nick Wilson for the past two seasons. Baker has thrived in Wilson’s absence this year and has rushed for 622 yards with six touchdowns. Baker was Pac-12 All-Academic First Team in 2012 and Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team in 2013 and 2014.

Drew Riggleman (39), punter Riggleman has defied odds for the last three years to become an Arizona fan favorite.

Riggleman served as a backup his freshman season before attempting 210 punts with an average of 43 yards per punt over his next three seasons. He has 50 punts of over 50 yards, including a career-long of 71 yards, and 54 punts inside the 20-yard line. Riggleman has wracked up 1,731 yards of punts during his senior campaign and was named a candidate for the 2015 Ray Guy Award, which honors the nation’s top collegiate punter.

Cayman Bundage (61), offensive line The 6-foot-2-inch, 281-pound offensive lineman hails from Oklahoma City. Bundage has seen significant playing time since arriving at Arizona and has played a pivotal piece in the Wildcats’ offensive success over the past four seasons. Bundage was Arizona’s only true freshman starter on offense in 2012 and played in 11 games for an offensive line that helped Arizona climb as high as No. 4 nationally in total offense. He started 13 games at left guard his sophomore season and led the way for the Pac-12’s leading rusher, Ka’Deem Carey, who followed a historic 1,929yard campaign with 1,885 yards and 19 touchdowns. Bundage has blocked for the likes of Carey, Nick Wilson, Anu Solomon, B.J. Denker and Matt Scott throughout his tenure as a Wildcat. He assisted Wilson and Solomon in setting program freshman records in rushing and passing yards, respectively, last season. — Follow Dominic Baciocco @DominicBaciocco

Arizona smells upset in search of bowl BY Kyle Hansen
The Daily Wildcat
Up against the best Arizona fans have been given a little bit of hope following the Wildcats’ 38-30 loss at USC last weekend. In a game where they were supposed to be blown out by the Trojans, the Wildcats showed they still have some fight left despite the difficult season. Up next is No. 10 Utah, which is currently sitting in first place in the Pac-12 South. The Utes (8-1, 5-1 Pac-12 Conference) were tabbed as an early season dark horse in one of college football’s most competitive divisions. The Utes have exceeded that expectation, upsetting teams like Oregon and Michigan. Their only loss came on a 42-24 beatdown from the Trojans in Los Angeles. “I thought [Utah] would be pretty good because of the number of guys they had coming back,” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “They have an experienced quarterback. He’s played a whole bunch in his career and has gotten a lot of experience, and [they have] one of the best running backs in the

league in [Devontae] Booker.” The Utes have been led by Booker, quarterback Travis Wilson and a defense that ranks third in the Pac-12 in points allowed per game with 21.6. Utah also has the best-run defense in the conference, allowing only 114.3 yards per game.
“I think it always helps if you bring a lot of experience back and they stay healthy,” Rodriguez said. “Experienced players have the tendency not to panic when things go really bad. That’s the biggest thing about experienced players is they adapt quicker.”
To put the Utes’ defense into perspective, Oregon scores 42.2 points per game and averages 543.3 yards per game. The Utes went into Eugene, Oregon, and blew the Ducks out, 62-20. They only allowed Oregon to gain 400 total yards while also forcing three turnovers. Booker is currently third in the conference with 124 yards per game on the ground. He has scored 10 times this season with his best game of the year coming against California on a 34-rush, 222-yard and two-touchdown performance. ‘Cats prepared for senior night Arizona had a revival game of sorts against USC. After losing a close game to Washington State, then suffering a blow out at Washington, the Wildcats needed something to go their way. Rodriguez and company, at this point, are playing for bowl eligibility. A win over Utah in the Wildcats’ last home game of the season would officially make them bowl-eligible, and it would be a huge way for the seniors to go out. “They’re a good group of guys,” Rodriguez said. “The leadership is there. It’s kind of a quiet leadership,
but that’s what their personality is and I wouldn’t want them to change who they are.” Some notable seniors on the team include safeties Will Parks, Jamar Allah and Anthony Lopez, receivers Johnny Jackson and David Richards, quarterback Jerrard Randall, running back Jared Baker, offensive linemen Cayman Bundage and Lene Maiava, punter Drew Riggleman and kicker Casey Skowron. “They’ve done a good job all four years,” Rodriguez said. “A lot of these guys have been through a coaching transition. A lot of them have changed positions, and they’ve been pretty consistent in their approach and been really good examples for the young guys on how to lead themselves and how to be an Arizona student-athlete. So I’m really proud of them.” Arizona will kickoff against Utah at 8 p.m. Saturday at Arizona Stadium. The game will be televised on Fox Sports 1. — Follow Kyle Hansen @K_Hansen42
Arizona soccer ready for historic night BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat
It’s now win or go home for Arizona women’s soccer as the Wildcats start postseason play Friday night. The Wildcats will host an NCAA Tournament game for the first time in program history as they take on Northern Colorado. “We feel like we’ve done a really good job to get to this point,” Arizona head coach Tony Amato said. “But it’s a new season now, and we’re excited to host a game and find a way to march on in the [NCAA] Tournament.” Arizona (12-5-2, 6-4-1 Pac-12 Conference) isn’t exactly entering the NCAA Tournament on a high note, however. The Wildcats are coming off of a 4-1 blowout loss at home against rival ASU. It was an embarrassing performance on senior night, but Amato said the team has worked on a lot of things since that game and has put it in the rearview mirror. Amato said his team has worked on “everything from that game,” and he knows how much his team has to overcome in order to advance in the tournament. “If you look at the whole season and the lessons we learned, the positives, the negatives, [we] have been working on some things this week based on our attacking and defending principles overall, what we’ve done all year,” Amato said. Northern Colorado (13-7-2, 8-2-1 Big Sky Conference), unlike the Wildcats, comes into the postseason on a hot streak. The Bears have won their past three games and the Big Sky Conference Championship title. This will be their first NCAA Tournament appearance. “They have some really good players,” Amato said of the

Wildcats’ opponent. “Their attacking center-mid is really good, … their outside backs get forward, so they’ll cause some problems, and [Adrienne Jordan] is a very good player at left back.” Northern Colorado’s forwards have led the Bears to be one of the better offensive teams in the Big Sky. The Bears averaged a little over one goal per game and have taken a staggering 103 corner kicks this season. While the Bears use corner kicks well to help initiate their offense, the Wildcats don’t think they’re so good at defending
them. “We’re going to focus a lot on set pieces,” Arizona senior Kaitlyn Lopez said. “I think we’re really going to try to expose them in that aspect and take it to them as much as we can, being a Pac-12 school.” Arizona will also regain some of the firepower it lost late in the season. Forward Charlotte Brascia returned to practice this week and will play against Northern Colorado. Brascia missed the last three games with a head injury and should help the Wildcats push the pace of the game in their favor. The Wildcats could be getting their leading scorer, Gabi Stoian, back, too. Stoian, who has scored six goals this season, also missed the last three games with a quad injury. Unlike Brascia, Stoian hasn’t fully returned to practice. “[Stoian] is doing a lot of stuff off the field right now and she was in cleats today and did some running,” Amato said after Wednesday’s practice. “We’re just trying to be really cautious, but at this point, if we lose, it’s over. So, we’re doing a lot of things to get her ready for Friday.” Amato said Stoian will be a game-time decision and would likely be limited if she does play. With or without Stoian, the Wildcats will have to find a way to win to keep their season alive. Kickoff is Friday at 6 p.m. at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium.

Mau and Snuka lead ‘Cats to victory BY IVAN LEONARD The Daily Wildcat
In what was a match that would come down to the very wire, No. 19 Arizona volleyball escaped Salt Lake City with a fiveset victory over Utah (25-21, 25-14, 19-25, 27-29, 15-13). The Wildcats had an opportunity to sweep Utah as they won the first two sets, but the Utes fought back with a third-set victory to avoid a sweep. Utah won a hard-fought fourth set to force the deciding final set of the match. The Utes kept the Wildcats on their heels by leading the fifth set 4-1. After trading mini runs, Arizona took control with a 7-0 run leading to a match point opportunity at 14-10. Utah would score three more before Arizona finished the game for good, winning 15-13. Balance was key for the Wildcats as Kalei Mau led the way with 16 kills. Penina Snuka had a double-double for the fifth straight game to give her 19 of the season, leading the Pac-12 conference. Snuka was once again the catalyst for the

offense. Laura Larson had a career-high 21 digs, which marks her 10th straight game recording double digits. Meanwhile Halli Amaro finished the match one block shy of 400 career blocks. With this victory, the Wildcats are now tied for sixth in the Pac-12 Conference with a league record of 7-8. The Utes fall to 9-17 overall with the loss and are currently in last place in the Pac-12. Arizona will be back in action Saturday as the Wildcats take on the Colorado Buffaloes in Boulder, Colorado, at 7 p.m. Colorado will stream the match live. Arizona faces No. 2 USC on Nov. 20 and No. 9 UCLA comes to town Nov. 22. The Wildcats then travel to Corvallis, Oregon, to take on Oregon State before ending their season at home against rival ASU on Nov. 27.

First-hand manic moviemaking BY victoria pereira The Daily Wildcat
S
even days. That’s all the time you’re given to make the best five-minute short film that will knock the socks off the judging panel at Campus MovieFest. We are a bunch of insane, film-loving college students who decided to accept the challenge. Campus MovieFest is a competition that travels across the world to different colleges and universities and dares students to create a short film in just one week. Students from all disciplines can sign up and the organization provides competitors with equipment if they don’t have their own. At the end of the grueling week of planning, shooting and post-production, CMF hosts a premiere of the top 16 competing films and awards first through fourth places to the best of the fest. These top picks then move on to compete with winning films from colleges across the country in the CMF Hollywood competition. From there, shorts can be chosen to cross the pond and be shown at Cannes Film Festival in France. It sounds like a sweet deal at first: Make a five-minute short in a week, and if it’s pretty good it could make it to Hollywood. Anyone who’s worked on a film set or heard stories about being behind the scenes of a movie knows how difficult it is to make a film with a normal deadline; making one in a week is not a task for the faint of heart. “It definitely forces you to think in a way that you don’t have to think when you’re working on a film where you have more than one day to shoot,” said Cullen Hamblen, a sophomore studying film and television and graphic design. “It’s all very rushed, and you have to be efficient with not only the production but with your story.” Hamblen co-directed the University Filmmakers Organization’s entry to CMF, titled “A Short Film.” A comedy that pokes fun at itself, “A Short Film” follows three friends as they

The University Filmmakers Organization crew on set of “A Short Film” on Nov 11. After a 14-hour day and with four days of editing still to come, the UFO team is putting all of the time, effort and passion that they can muster into creating the best short film they can to compete in Campus MovieFest.
try to figure out what kind of story they’ve been thrown into. As a part of UFO and of this production, allow me to explain what exactly it was like to work on this short film produced from a single-day shoot. The contest began on Tuesday. Using the time off from Veterans Day to our advantage, we decided to shoot our film on Wednesday. After assembling our equipment and holding one last pre-production meeting, we tried to get some sleep before our 6:30 a.m. call time on Wednesday. Our film had three scenes, one shot inside and two outside, so in order to make the most of the sunlight we were to begin with the exteriors and work our way backward, hence the early wakeup call.
The crew, made up of at least 25 students hailing from all different disciplines, were bundled up in their sweatshirts, waiting for the sun to warm up the 49-degree morning air. We began rolling around 7:15 a.m. After running overtime and rushing to get some last shots in, we moved production to our second location sometime around 12:30 p.m. We rushed through lunch and began setting up lighting and set design, and once we started rolling, we didn’t stop. Already behind on time, one of our actors had to leave the set by 5:30 p.m. We raced against the clock for the rest of the afternoon. It was around 5 p.m. when everyone started to get a little sleep-deprived. Crew members
who had finished their jobs for the day were allowed to leave, and the set dwindled from more than 25 people to about 10. After everything was said and done, we shot our last take just after 7:30 p.m., and once we finished restoring our crew member’s apartment to its prior condition, we wrapped a 14-hour, all-day shoot. I went home that night severely sleep-deprived, physically exhausted, and so incredibly happy and proud of the work that our entire crew had done that day. I’m sure I wasn’t alone in my thinking. Making a film is an incredibly difficult process, and making one in a week for a competition can seem impossible at times, but the experience is unlike any other.
“I feel like you get to know people in a way that you wouldn’t if you weren’t working on a film set,” said Galen McCaw, a junior pursuing integrated studies in music and the sound mixer for “A Short Film.” “You feel closer to people having done that.” Now that shooting has been wrapped, there are several long days of post-production for the editors to get through, and the fate of our film and the others competing at CMF will be decided Wednesday, Nov. 18, in Gallagher Theatre at 7:30 p.m. I’ll keep my fingers crossed until then.

Lloyd (Scott Murdock) and Rachel (Grace Kirkpatrick) embark on a cross-country odyssey, unshaken by disaster in “Reckless,” a dark “holiday” comedy running Nov. 8 through Dec. 6 at the Arizona Repertory Theatre. Both Kirkpatrick and Murdock deliver fine performances.
‘Reckless’ takes right approach BY Nathaniel Renney-Erbst The Daily Wildcat
Arizona Repertory Theatre’s production of “Reckless” took all the right approaches to a seamless, whimsical valentine of a comedy. “Reckless” by Craig Lucas had its opening night Nov. 11. After two successful previews, the show was more than ready for the general public. Following an indefatigably optimistic woman named Rachel, played by Grace Kirkpatrick, an acting senior in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program, the audience learns a valuable lesson about dealing with tragic events in life and moving toward the future. Lucas himself comes from an unorthodox background and has channeled this in an attempt to depict the disconnect we have regarding traumatic events in life and where we stand in accordance with them.
“I love ‘Reckless,’” director Hank Stratton said. “It’s an antic investigation of things that are incredibly human: hope, grief and friendship, [among other things].” The production consists of two acts and over 20 different scene changes, and despite the number of scenes, the show appeared to remain seamless. “The amount of effort needed to maintain a fluid set for the stage was crucial to the production,” said Adam Grodman, an acting freshman in the Bachelor of Arts program. A musical track accompanied every advancement of the scenery and left no opportunity for awkward instances of inactivity. “When I pitched the design [of the stage], I wanted to create a snow globe onstage, and with every shake of the snow globe our protagonist is thrown into another scenario,” Stratton said. One of the key elements of
“Reckless” is the buoyant attitude it maintains throughout the story. While having somber and depressing undertones, Rachel manages to continually provide uplifting remarks and kept the overall mood alive and happy. “Through this series of very exaggerated episodes, Rachel is confronted again and again with adversity that she meets with a practical resolve and a smile,” Stratton said. In the beginning, Kirkpatrick’s Rachel appeared very forced and unnatural, but as the show progresses, the audience sees the over-enthused behavior as Rachel’s way of coping with the harsh reality around her. The cast of “Reckless” was fairly small, consisting of only 11 students. Each student had obviously devoted countless hours to developing their character. Rachel encounters numerous characters with sketchy pasts. One
such character is Lloyd, played by Scott Murdock, an acting junior in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program. Murdock really channels the energy of Lloyd, a character who regrets past decisions in life and pulls forth the effort to make amends with the man he has become today. Eventually, he shows his true past and reveals the tribulations he has endured. Jamie Grossman, a musical theater senior in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program, plays Pooty, the paraplegic, deaf wife of Lloyd. Grossman’s character is restricted to the confines of sign language and is forced to convey to the audience her intentions through the sheer means of facial expressions. “The most difficult part in a production like this is to keep the tone light and yet honor technical requirements of the play,” Stratton said. The scenery, lighting, costumes,
sound and general stage hands combine with the skill of the actors to tell a story with a message about reconciliation and balancing the past with the future. “Reckless” makes an excellent conclusion to this season’s lineup of productions. It draws together all of the other thematic messages from earlier productions, such as “Cabaret” and “Barefoot in the Park.” I highly recommend taking the opportunity to see “Reckless.” The combination of lighthearted jokes and serious references to the inner human train of thought make for a well-performed production. Arizona Repertory Theatre will perform “Reckless” at the Marroney Theatre until Dec. 6. Tickets can be purchased from the College of Fine Arts Box Office at cfa.arizona.edu/ facilities/box-office/. — Follow Nathaniel Renney-Erbst @nathanielrenney
