‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ worthy Coen canon entry

“I

ALEX GUYTON

nside Llewyn Davis” focuses on the eponymous folk singer as he tries to navigate the folk music scene in New York at the beginning of the 1960s, right before Bob Dylan arrives on the scene. Those familiar with the works of brothers Joel and Ethan Coen will find a lot to like here, but the incredibly scant plot may turn off those not well-versed with the directors’ style.

However, everyone can enjoy the movie’s topnotch soundtrack, and the film looks stunning.

It’s the winter of 1961 in New York’s Greenwich Village, and Llewyn (Oscar Isaac) is a struggling folk singer who doesn’t even have a proper coat for the frigid conditions. When he performs with his trusty guitar in hand, he occupies his own world removed from the dives he plays in. His voice is vulnerable and his distinct melancholic songs are different from the rest of the folk scene.

However, both his conditions and personality outside of performance leave Llewyn a decidedly less-than-sympathetic character. He just can’t get it together. He has recently become a solo act, since his partner threw himself off of the George Washington Bridge. He crashes on whoever’s couch is available and has an air of superiority

over all of the other folk artists surrounding him.

In his mind, he’s the only legitimate artist, and everyone else is a joke. His friend Jean (Carey Mulligan) is the only person who doesn’t put up with his crap and blisteringly pesters him about what he’s doing with his life. As an artist, he scoffs at these questions and only throws them back at her. He can harmonize marvelously when in song, but he can’t harmonize his life with the lives of others.

The film’s greatest source of beauty and its biggest detractor are one and the same.

(Would we have it any other way with the Coen brothers?) Nothing really happens in this movie.

Joel Coen himself joked that the film was sort of devoid of a plot. After he and his brother Ethan Coen realized that, he said, they threw in Ulysses — the cat that Llewyn accidentally lets escape out of a friend’s house. He spends the rest of the movie trying to hunt down the cat, but in the meantime lives what we assume to be a typical week in the life of our titular character.

He does a recording of the gimmicky song, “Please Mr. Kennedy,” alongside Jim Berkey (Justin Timberlake), and foregoes receiving any royalties for cash on the spot, in order to pay for Jean’s abortion procedure. It should be noted that Jim and Jean are dating, but Llewyn got Jean

pregnant. Also, Jim was the one who set up the recording gig. Isn’t Llewyn grand?

Anyway, all of Llewyn’s endeavors to make himself a success are thwarted, either by his own hand, fate or bad timing. The movie itself is actually quite uneventful. Although this is the perfect structure for a film revolving around a man who always stays in the same place in his life, who can never regress or progress, it does nothing to raise the pulse of the audience.

There are no emotional peaks or valleys — just plateaus.

The film is shot beautifully, with everything in a very warm, soft focus, recalling a past time that’s long gone by. Winter in New York is bleak, with a muted color palette of whites, blacks, grays and browns.

Of course, a film revolving around a music scene will rely heavily upon said music, and this is the film’s strongest component. T-Bone Burnett, a long-time collaborator with the Coen brothers who was behind the hugely successful “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” soundtrack, crafted the songs of “Inside Llewyn Davis.”

“Fare Thee Well (Dink’s Song),” the film’s most recognizable song, is performed by Isaac and Marcus Mumford (of Mumford & Sons). The song becomes a theme of sorts for Lllewyn, as it’s the only one to be featured multiple times throughout the film. Another song that deserves special recognition is “Hang Me, Oh Hang Me,” which first introduces the audience to Llewyn.

Isaac, along with Mulligan and Timberlake, performed their songs live while on set. Isaac’s voice harbors the pain and soul of Llewyn, and you can tell he is still acting his role as he sings.

This film contains a lot of the familiar tropes of a Coen brothers’ movie, including an incompetent male protagonist and a strong female with her head on straight. Man’s futile attempts to craft plans in an unknowable and unpredictable universe has also been fair game for the directors. Here, the tone is heavier, and the ending is one of gloom and pessimism

where Llewyn leads a Sisyphean life, his boulder perhaps being his guitar. At first glance, this may not seem like a very notable entry to the Coen library, considering its flatline plot, but given Llewyn’s ability to hold his head high in the company of the classic characters created by the Coen brothers — Barton Fink, Marge Gunderson and, of course, The Dude — it certainly is.

Activities for the holidays Casey Knox Overplayed Christmas tunes and red and green ornaments remind us that the holidays are quickly approaching. If ugly sweaters and hot chocolate aren’t satisfying your ever-growing holiday spirit, here’s a list of things you can do this weekend to kick off the season.

Buy a Christmas tree When you think of Christmas, you think of trees. Beautiful, shining, decorated Charlie Brown Christmas trees. Instead of buying a plastic tree at the nearest Target, grab your roommates and head out to the Buckelew Farm Christmas Tree Lot on the corner of Campbell Avenue and Broadway Boulevard to buy a live tree. They smell good, they look good and they’re a staple of the Christmas season.

Luminaria Lights Tucson Botanical Gardens is lighting up the night this weekend with its 27th annual Luminaria Lights today through Sunday from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The gardens will be shining bright with sparkling lights and decorated trees. Luminaria lights will also feature a visit from Santa Claus himself, food trucks and live music. Tickets are $11 for adults and $5 for children.

Zoo Lights Twinkling lights and jingling bells are back this year at Reid Park Zoo, beginning today from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Gather your friends, wrap yourself up in the warmest scarf you own and lose yourself in the holiday spirit. Tickets are $6 for adults, $4 for children and kids under 2 are free.

‘White Christmas: The Musical’ The International Gay Bowling Organization presents “White Christmas: The Musical” at The Loft Cinema on Saturday. The show starts at 7 p.m., and tickets are $10. Gather your friends and head out to The Loft for an interactive night of holiday cheer.

CHISPA Festival de Navidad Fox Tucson Theatre presents the CHISPA Foundation’s Festival de Navidad today. The show will highlight the cultural traditions of the holiday, with performances by Ballet Folklorico San Juan, Puppet Muzik and more. The show begins at 10 a.m. and tickets are $15 for students.

What: BICAS 18th Annual Art Auction Where: BICAS, 44 W. Sixth St. When: Friday, 6 to 10 p.m. preview; Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. preview and early bidding, 6 to 9 p.m. silent auction

Casey Knox

ecycled, reused and refurbished bicycle pieces will come to life this weekend at the 18th annual BICAS Art Auction.

The auction, which will feature more than 200 pieces of bicycle-inspired art, is a flagship event for the nonprofit Bicycle Inter-Community Art and Salvage organization. Bicycle-inspired art will be on display at the organization’s Underground Art Gallery today for a preview. The art will be auctioned on Saturday in hopes of generating funds to keep BICAS’ doors open for another year.

Artists could submit work made from any recyclable or reused materials, particularly bicycle parts, to the annual silent auction.

“I hope people will generally support the longevity of BICAS,” said Tanya Rich, BICAS’ art coordinator. The auction will kick off the celebration of BICAS’ 25th year as a nonprofit.

The show will feature both functional and aesthetic pieces inspired by bicycles,

BICAS is a bicycle recycling hub as well as a community outreach and education center where visitors can learn how to fix up their bikes with the help of the organization’s employees. BICAS will host its 18th annual art auction this weekend to raise money to keep its doors open for business another year.

such as bike racks, working bicycles, photographs and paintings. Among all the art that will be showcased this weekend, a 2-and-a-half-foot pirate ship made with fenders, cables and other recycled pieces is expected to be the highlight of the show, according to Erik Bang, an employee at BICAS. Although a large number of the contributing artists are based in Tucson,

people come to the auction from many different states, and even from abroad.

Some art submissions are also sent in by mail.

One of many artists contributing to the show, Paul Nosa will be crafting his work on the spot with bicycle parts and a sewing machine, taking his inspiration from three words drawn from the crowd. All of the proceeds from Nosa’s skit and artwork will

go to BICAS. Bang has been working at BICAS for several years, and will be presenting his bicycle-inspired art at the show this year.

“I’m sure a lot of people will be inspired to create their own things,” Bang said. “It’s a chance to showcase some of the artistic talent in the community that’s kind of reflected through BICAS.” In the months of preparation, Bang created functional items such as lamps, bike racks and towel racks out of recycled and refurbished items.

Patrick Cobb, a Colorado-based firefighter who travels to Tucson in the winter, will showcase his photography during the auction. After 22 hours of shooting pictures of bicycles, Cobb created a collage titled “All The Bikes At BICAS.” He took pictures of dozens of different bicycles, both old and new, shiny and rustic.

“It’ll be interesting to see who shows up to see all the pieces on display,” Cobb said.

“I think it’ll be a fun experience.”

DW: You’ve been on tour with this production for quite some time, having been to the U.K., the U.S., Tokyo and Seoul. What’s it been like, and how’s the crowd response been?

O’Farrell: When we were in the U.K., they have such a tradition of political musical theater — and the U.S. is on everyone’s radar as far as politics as well — so since we’re doing such a cool piece about a time frame that America went through that was kind of difficult, everybody responded to it extremely well. … Going around the U.S., it’s kind of hit-or-miss depending on the town. You’ll get to a conservative community, and it’s a quiet house, some people aren’t particularly fans of some of the subject matter that’s being talked about. And then we’ll run into other communities that are the same type of community with uproars here and there and, afterwards, standing ovations. … So for the most part, the show’s been extremely well-received. I think the Green Day connection and the music and the subject matter are just something that a lot of people want to address or hear about, and Green Day’s music is entertaining as is, so I think we have a lot of things going for us.

Can you tell me about your preparation for your role as Will?

Preparation is interesting, and I go through a lot of different phases. … I’ll be in a really positive place personally, and then I’ll go on and I’ll do my show and I’ll feel like I’m doing a job — I’m going on and performing as I’ve been directed to. And then, other times, through the troubles of touring, I’ll walk into the theater in a very almost dark place emotionally and mentally. So it’s one of those roles that, since you exist for 90 minutes in front of everyone, the show kind of changes a lot as far as where the emotions go for me from

Actors typically find an aspect of the character they’re portraying that they can relate to, in order to make the performance more honest.

What aspects of Will were like that for you?

I think I have definitely experienced a certain level of depression and self-destructive tendencies over 30 years of living, so I think I can totally relate — especially living in a place that’s not where I want to be at the time. …

And then the stuff that I haven’t experienced, like pregnancy, I feel like my character is most relatable as far as America’s concerned because everybody knows someone who’s stayed home post-high school and gotten someone pregnant and now is just there. So I think there’s a little bit of an easy connection there because I grew up in a rural town in Tennessee, so most of the people that I went to school with then, are kind of like Will now.

What’s the main takeaway point for anyone who decides to come out to the show this weekend?

I think the story was made in a way that everyone’s not going to take the same thing away from watching the show. Kind of the overall message of the show is that these young people are searching for their purpose in a world that’s over-saturated with media, and you turn on the TV and you’re just flooded with this idea of what you’re supposed to be or how you’re supposed to act. … So I don’t think I could say what the show is supposed to make you take away from it.

I’ve always thought of it as one of those that just makes you think.

UA brings holiday season to campus

S

GABBY FERNETY

tudents will have a chance to celebrate the holidays with their classmates on Monday at the first-ever Wildcat Winter mix-andmingle.

Allen Womble, Arizona Student Unions’ student engagement coordinator, Melissa Carreno, Arizona Student Union’s student engagement marketing assistant and Shan Harris, North Plaza programming assistant, came up with the idea of Wildcat Winter to give students the chance to enjoy time together before winter break.

The evening will feature a chorus group singing Christmas carols and free food. There will be holiday desserts including snowflake

cookies, hot chocolate and hot cider, Womble said.

Harris added that they will light a 10-foot wreath, rather than a tree, to stay neutral about practices associated with various religious holidays.

“It’s supposed to be a fun send-away,” said Harris, a business senior. “Essentially it’s free food, music and fun.”

Wilbur and Wilma may even come to take pictures with attendees, Carreno said.

The team added that the goal is to get students engaged on campus with fun activities to help them get into the holiday spirit.

Carreno said the event will give students a chance to take a break from finals and have some fun. The goal, she added, is to make Wildcat Winter a regular event.

“We’re trying to make this a new tradition,” Carreno said. “We’re trying to get students more involved in the [Arizona] Student Unions and their university.”

Because students head back to their homes by mid-December, Womble said he wants them to have a chance to reconnect with the UA community before they go.

“We all celebrate different holidays,” Womble said, “but being a community is really a connecting thread between all the holidays.”

The event won’t include speeches or presentations of any kind because the team wants it to just be a social opportunity for students. Harris said he hopes everyone will come and celebrate together.

There will also be a raffle for students for an iPad Mini.

The Daily Wildcat

Womble said he hopes the students enjoy the engagement with Arizona Student Unions and each other’s company.

“We wanted to give the students of UA the chance to come together,” Womble said, “because being a part of a university really is being a part of a family.”

Tucson’s art and brewery chops on display with beer tasting, food trucks, live music and interactive art projects

A

McKinzie Frisbie

n event this weekend aims to merge the best of southern Arizona’s art and beer in what organizers hope becomes an annual showcase of Tucson’s own artists and breweries.

On Saturday, the first ART on TAP event will feature tastings of locally brewed beer and a showcase of local art, food trucks and live music

entertainment at the Tucson Museum of Art. Meagan Crain, the museum’s special events and membership manager, said that the venue has coordinated with Craft Tucson, a local brewery-support organization founded by Austin Santos, co-owner of 1702 Pizza & Beer, to unite the local artists and breweries in an evening of community celebration.

Crain said that each of the 16 participating breweries will

provide two samples of their finely brewed beers. Breweries include Dragoon Brewing Co., Four Peaks Brewing Co., Thunder Canyon Brewery and Barrio Brewing Co. Art on Tap will also include 50 local artists who will bring more than 130 works of art in an array of mediums for sale and display.

Although general admission for the event runs around $50, the cost for UA students is only $30, and will allow attendees to

enjoy 20 samples from any of the breweries at the event.

Proceeds from the tickets, which can be purchased directly from the museum’s website, will go to keeping the museum’s doors open while supporting local artists and breweries in the community.

Food trucks, including Hellfire Pizza Co. and Serial Grillers, will also be in the parking lot of the museum to accompany beer sampling

Diane farfield’s “The East Gate” is one of hundreds of pieces scheduled to be featured at the Tucson Museum of Art’s ART on TAP this weekend.

and satiate hunger while participants view the artwork and listen to music.

Carlos Arzate & the Kind Souls, Saint Maybe and Andy Depew from Satyr Entertainment will provide live music throughout the evening for a relaxing and upbeat atmosphere.

Featured artists include Joe Brown, Graham Thompson, Jim Jones, Hope Jones and the Sonoran Glass Academy, with four participatory artworks that provide an interactive experience for the evening.

Thompson, a general studies senior at the UA, will have his own piece available for public painting. He has been working with the museum over the past six months to prepare the event.

“We’ve been working steadily on this,” Thompson said. “I’m excited to see it in action, and it’s crazy to me to think that six months of work can be reduced to a period of four hours.”

Thompson’s participatory art creation, which will be painted and finished by the public, is a 6-by-3-and-a-half-foot black frame stencil cutout named “Crossroads.” He said it is designed to symbolize the beginning of his life as an artist and soon-to-be college graduate.

“Even the piece itself could be considered at a crossroads because it’s not complete until everyone else completes it,” Thompson said.

“That kept showing up when I was doing it.”

A steel frame will support the oversized stencil, and surrounding buckets of paint will be available for people to finish the artwork however they desire.

Thompson said that the white portion of the cutout will then be peeled away from the black to reveal the final work, and he has no idea what the end product will look like.

As a former employee at 1702, Thompson added that he is most excited to see the progression of beer and art that will be supported by ART on TAP and views the present as an evolving period in time for both.

“I think that craft beer right now is kind of hip; it’s vogue,” Thompson said. “From what I’ve seen, there’s sort of a renaissance going on with beer, and I think there is a renaissance

going on with art as well.”

Another artist presenting an interactive piece is Joe Brown, a 2010 UA fine arts graduate who works in illustration, design and stone sculpting.

Brown said he will bring one of his nearly completed stone sculptures to the event, where he will finish the job while encouraging participants to engage in the medium by demonstrating the challenging techniques of stone sculpting.

Although his artistic style is detailed and technical, Brown said stone sculpting has an aspect to it that does not confine his artistic flow. Brown said that the first step in stone sculpting is finding a reliable boulder to work with.

“You have to look at a boulder and what the boulder can do,” he said. “You can’t tell it to do a design; you have to ask it because it could just fall apart.”

Brown said that he enjoys focusing on more delicate and ethereal sculpting. He will work on the wet-sanding aspect of the sculpture during ART on TAP to demonstrate the delicate processes involved in working with stone — encouraging spectators to get a hands-on experience with the unfamiliar medium.

“People aren’t exposed to stone sculpture that much; that’s one other reason I like doing it,” Brown said. “I want people to try it.”

Brown said that he is hopeful for more appearances of contemporary art in the community, and he admires artists who are gearing their work toward critical thinking and away from the standards of Southwestern-style artwork.

Brown added that he is also looking forward to the expansion of the local arts community, which is being celebrated through events such as ART on TAP. “Tucson needs that change because there are more young people seeing things happen here,” Brown said. “Downtown is now a cool place. We can build up rather than out.”

NYE PARTY IN THE RA

, y ! e p e H ke Bar “Tiger” Tom Ziegler

Tiger’s Tap Room, Hotel Congress

“RA”ckin’ NYE

GRACE PIERSON/THE DAILY WILDCAT

What is your favorite drink to make?

I’ve got two of them. I like the margarita and the Bloody Mary.

What’s your least favorite drink to make?

Oh, I don’t know. The ones I don’t know, I’ll ask the customer. I’ll make anything if it’s in the computer.

What’s your most memorable customer?

Anybody that comes in that door. … I don’t care who you are, as long as you behave yourself and don’t bother my single ladies, you’re as good — I don’t care if you’ve got $1 million, holes in your pocket, holes in your shirt, as long as you’re courteous and respect my clients. … A strange lady has a right to come in here alone, as a man does, and they’re not going to be bothered. Period, end of statement.

What’s the strangest, oddest occurrence you’ve seen at the bar?

My customer, if they’re drinking too much, I can tell them they have to leave. I appreciate their business, but I want them alive, not dead. … I think I’ve called the police one time in 40 years, 50 years.

Do you remember why?

No, I don’t. I’m 80 years old. I turned 80 May the 18th. That’s when they named the bar after me.

Check out our newly remodeled Salon!

As a customer, what can I do to tick you off, or make your job harder as a bartender?

Why would you want to make my job harder?

Exactly. What are some pet peeves?

Oh, I don’t like banging. It’s the best way to get ignored. Or bothering any, well, I told you, any lady in here. … The person, male or female, is leaving. If I get a complaint, they’re gone.

On the other hand, something that you can do as a customer to make your job easier?

Just be nice to people that talk to you. … We’re all in this game together — in this world. I don’t care if you’re black, white, purple, Mexican, Chinese. We’re all in this together. I don’t like no prejudice. So, I just like it when everybody gets along and it’s one big happy family. These employees, we’ve got a lot of bartenders, and we all help each other out. That’s the name of the game, and that’s what they call teamwork.

Do you notice any drinking trends that you’d like to see go away?

Well, these shot-in-beers, fast, ding ding ding, three or four in a row. I don’t know. Fast drinking. … We’re responsible if I get you drunk and die, or kill somebody. I’m liable because I shouldn’t have served you that drink.

Drinks off the beaten path

PHOTO COURTESY OF MALONEY’S TAVERN

MALONEY’S BARTENDER ANGEL MARTINEZ poses with a set of the bar’s rainbow shots. Made with a variety of everyday ingredients, the shots are easy to make at home, too.

MCKINZIE FRISBIE

With the semester about to end, it’s time to pull out the party hats. For anyone sick of beer and your run-of-the-mill liquor shots, here are a few drinks you might not have heard of — all of which can be made with the ingredients listed. Not an aspiring bartender? Find each drink at the location provided.

1

The Scooby Snack, Surly Wench Pub This shot could make anyone understand why Scooby Doo would muster up his courage and volunteer to enter a ghost-infested building just for a Scooby snack. Made with Malibu, crème de bananas, melon liquor and pineapple juice and topped with whipped cream, this shot will get your courage up a bit for whatever crazy shenanigans you and the gang have planned for the night.

2

Birthday cake shot, various bars downtown Obviously, this one would be particularly relevant if the night is in celebration of someone’s birthday — but if you just like the way cake tastes, go for it. Apparently the birthday cake shot, which is made with hazelnut liqueur, vodka, sugar and a lemon, strangely tastes exactly like — you guessed it — birthday cake. Which is just plain impressive.

3

Rainbow shots, Maloney’s Tavern Mixed with grenadine, pineapple or orange juice, Malibu, blue curacao and a little bit of crushed ice, this

colorful cocktail will surely make you wonder how the colors change as the liquid is poured into each shot glass. This one is probably meant for a group of at least five, but I won’t discourage you from drinking the entire rainbow yourself.

You’re only young once, so why not?

4

Jalapeño vodka-rita, Elliott’s on Congress My friends continually insist that Elliott’s has the craziest variety of infused vodka, and I believe them after browsing the menu, which lists flavors of vodka from key lime, cucumber and orange to habañero and bacon. The jalapeño vodka-rita is made with jalapeño-flavored vodka (obviously), sweet and sour, triple sec, agave nectar, lime and orange juice, and will most likely come with a kick. If you are opposed to a spicy alcoholic concoction, just pick any of the other flavors to add to the vodka-rita … but you probably shouldn’t go with the bacon.

5

El Guapo, Playground Bar & Lounge This shot’s name means “the handsome” in Spanish, and it seems like it would taste even better than it looks. El Guapo is mixed with Hornitos Reposado tequila, Aperol and lime juice. An added bonus would be mango-flavored Lucas candy on the rim to chase it down. The candy may provide a flashback to childhood for those of us who remember begging our mothers for treats at the store and then enjoying them on the car ride home. Playground Bar & Lounge offers the drink with a mango con chile rim for a spicier finish. ­— Follow McKinzie Frisbie @McKinzie Frisbie

Arizona seeks No. 1 spot against Rebels LUKE DELLA With No. 1 Michigan State losing at home to unranked North Carolina on Wednesday night, No. 2 Arizona could take over the top ranking if it beats UNLV at McKale Center on Saturday afternoon.

It would be the first time since March 10, 2003, that the Wildcats held the nation’s No. 1 ranking.

But before this Wildcats (80) team can capture the alpha ranking, it must get past a talented Runnin’ Rebels (3-3) team that has shown a major turnaround from last season.

UNLV’s most noticeable change is the loss of 2013 first overall draft pick Anthony Bennett and forward Mike Moser, who graduated and chose to transfer to Oregon for a fifth season.

Still, if the Runnin’ Rebels, who feature six transfers, can find chemistry, they are talented enough to take down even the nation’s No. 2 team.

2011 McDonald’s High School All-American and Pittsburgh transfer forward Khem Birch is a shotblocking machine. Birch was named the Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year last season after averaging three blocks a game in his first season in Las Vegas. He is also one of the nation’s best offensive rebounders.

Fellow junior forward Roscoe Smith is also a talented Rebel who has not received much attention this season. Smith transferred from UConn after the 2011-12 season and can be dangerous around the basket. His average of 16.2 rebounds a game is the highest in the country, with Kentucky’s Julius Randle the

there yet for head coach Dave Rice.

That lack of chemistry will be a factor if Arizona goes on a scoring stretch.

The Runnin’ Rebels don’t have a leader yet, nor are they a consistent shooting team.

On the other hand, the Wildcats have too many scorers for UNLV to try to stop.

What will probably end up making the difference is the turnover ratio. Arizona

As head coach Sean Miller stressed early this season, defense is going to be what carries the Wildcats far into next year’s NCAA tournament in March.

In the seven games of the season prior to the Wildcats’ 79-58 victory over Texas Tech on Tuesday, Arizona emerged with stellar post defense and limited opponents to a 37.9 percent field goal percentage from within the perimeter.

The Wildcats have additionally averaged a Pac-12 leading 6.7 blocks per game, a season after averaging 3.8 per contest.

While originally expecting large defensive contributions from starting big men Kaleb Tarczewski and Brandon Ashley, Arizona has been forced to seek clutch defense from other sources, as Ashley has struggled with committing body fouls and Tarczewski continues to be outrebounded by players 4 inches shorter than him.

Instead, when thinking of Arizona’s recent defensive success this season, junior guards Nick Johnson and T.J. McConnell and freshman forward Rondae HollisJefferson immediately come to mind.

Both McConnell and Johnson have long been considered serious defensive threats.

McConnell was in the top three in the country in steals as a part of Duquesne’s team before transferring to Arizona. Over his first eight games this year, the Pittsburgh native put up a team-leading 12 steals.

Johnson, while he still needs to learn to stay on his feet, has taken up a leadership role on the team and is a standout blocker.

The Gilbert, Ariz., native has combined for eight blocks and five steals to start off the year.

Hollis-Jefferson is known for his tenacious fire, hustle and tough East Coast attitude on the court. With his 7-foot-2 wingspan, Hollis-Jefferson can tip passes and guard his man to the point of putting pressure on him to get rid of the ball. As soon as the ball hits the floor, he’s diving and fighting for it.

Sophomore guard Gabe York is also expected to affect the Wildcats’ defense.

Army faces Navy in ROTC football game Joey Putrelo The UA ROTC will host a flag football game for charity tonight at Arizona Stadium to carry on a rich tradition between the Army and Navy units.

All revenue will be donated to Arizona Heroes to Hometowns.

While the game is a contest between Army and Navy, the Marines also play alongside the Navy because they are technically a part of its branch. Other than bragging rights, the two squads also compete for an old football they have battled over on the gridiron for decades.

“I’m just looking forward to playing in the stadium; it’s going to be a blast under all the lights,” said Navy Midshipman Anthony Garcia, a receiver. “But I think we’re pretty good. We have some raw talent and I think we could tear it up.”

The winner gets to keep the ball in their branch’s display case for the rest of the year. It has resided in Army’s since its victory in 2012.

“It’s like us [Arizona] against ASU — Army doesn’t want to lose to us, and we don’t want to lose to them,” said Marines Sgt. Matthew Bergman, who is a captain

of his team. “But we try to keep it as professional as possible, no fights or anything.”

Both teams have been prepping for the game and have designed plays. Navy uses

a set standard, no huddle offense with two receivers outside and in the slot, according to Bergman.

Army has the size advantage on defense and has spent more time practicing,

Bergman said.

He noted the Navy defensive line is outweighed by Army’s offensive line by about 50 pounds.

“I think Army’s had a lot more practice, so we just have to get out there and get aggressive and just pull flags,” said Navy Midshipman Jonathan Asheim, a defensive lineman. “We just need to get in the backfield and not give their quarterback any time.”

The UA intramural football leagues will provide referees for the game. The gates will open and tickets will be sold for $2 starting at 6 p.m. The game is set to kickoff at 7 p.m.

“People often think of the military as a whole, but every branch within it is a huge rivalry in itself,” Bergman said, “and that’s as a whole, not just ROTC. Generally, Army and the Marines don’t like each other. We’re all one fighting for peace for the nation and freedom, but everything is a competition with us.”

Wildcats lose another road game Roberto Payne A late comeback attempt fell short as the Arizona women’s basketball team lost its fifth straight game this season at the hands of the UAB Blazers (6-3), 63-53, on Thursday in Birmingham, Ala. The Wildcats (1-7) dug themselves an 11-point hole early in the first half as the offense struggled yet again. The team shot merely 33.3 percent for the game. Arizona’s leading scorer, Candice Warthen, finished with just 6 points on 3-16 shooting from the field, and the team as a whole didn’t fare much better.

“Everyone has their nights when their shots won’t fall,” senior guard Kama Griffitts said.

“We just have to come back from it and do better the next game.”

After being down by 10 at halftime, the Wildcats continued to shoot poorly, and the UAB lead ballooned to 15 points

behind UAB sophomore guard Chelsee Black and senior forward Karisma Chapman. Black went 11-12 from the free throw line, and the two combined for 27 points and 14 rebounds.

Arizona’s offense continued the season-long theme of hot and cold streaks with a 10-0 run late in the second half to cut the UAB lead to 47-45 with 7:48 left in the game. However, after taking a 52-51 lead with 3:59 left, the Wildcats were outscored 12-1 to finish out the game.

“We made a surge late, but made mistakes in the last minutes,” UA head coach Niya Butts said in a press release. “We started to make some plays defensively, giving them a tough

time, but we didn’t always capitalize offensively as a team.”

Senior forward Erica Barnes was one of the few bright spots for the Wildcats, as she played 28 minutes off the bench and led the team in points (11) and rebounds (7).

H o w e v e r, her production off — Niya Butts, the bench not head coach was enough to get Arizona over the hump.

Even against a smaller UAB team, rebounding and points in the paint were catastrophic issues for Arizona. The Wildcats were outrebounded 44-36 by the Blazers and lost the points in the paint battle by a 32-22 margin. This marks the third straight game in which the Wildcats have lost the rebounding

“We made a surge late, but made mistakes in the last minutes.”

margin and the fifth straight game in which they’ve been outscored in the paint.

Not only are rebounding and points in the paint key to victory, but they are paramount for an undersized and inexperienced Arizona squad. Three games remain in non-conference play for Butts to improve upon these areas. If there is no improvement, Arizona will struggle to consistently win Pac-12 conference games this season.

Looking ahead, the Wildcats have 10 days off before playing at home against Texas Tech on Dec. 15. Griffitts said she thinks the 10-day break is exactly what the team needs.

“It’ll be really good for us,” Griffitts said. “We have a lot of learning to do and [we’ll] focus a lot on our defense.”

UA junior outside hitter Madi Kingdon digs the ball during the volleyball game against ASU on Nov. 29 at McKale Center. Kingdon is expected to lead the Wildcats in San Diego in the NCAA tournament.

Rose Aly Valenzuela The Arizona indoor volleyball team will face New Mexico State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday at 6 p.m. MST at the Jenny Craig Pavilion on the University of San Diego campus.

The match will be streamed on Pac-12. com.

Arizona has been one of the best defensive teams in the Pac-12 Conference, leading the league with 17.34 digs per set, and is ranked No. 2 in the conference with a .173 opponent hitting percentage.

New Mexico State (22-10) won the WAC Tournament title last Wednesday after sweeping Bakersfield.

“They’re good; they’re physical,” head coach Dave Rubio said. “There [are] a lot of players on that roster that have connections to me or the program in some way.”

Senior libero Candace Nicholson said she is also familiar with some of the players from NMSU. “It’s always different, especially in the t o u r n a m e n t ,” Nicholson said.

Scott. Scott averages 2.62 kills on .372 hitting and 1.33 blocks per set.

“I think [Scott] is a good middle, from what I hear, but I think that we have really strong middles on our team, too,” junior outside hitter Madi Kingdon said.

The Wildcats have faced the Aggies 13 times in school

“We’re definitely very excited to be back in the tournament after missing it last year, so I’d say we’re all pretty pumped up and ready to go.”

No. 13 Arizona hockey looks to snap a 34-game winless streak against top rival No. 1 ASU as it starts a twogame series tonight at the Tucson Convention Center.

Assistant coach Dave Dougall will fill in for head coach Sean Hogan while he is in Europe serving as an assistant coach for the U.S. Men’s National University Team.

“While I’m disappointed I’m not going to be behind the bench versus ASU, I have all the confidence in the world in our assistant coaches, as well as our athletes, to be prepared and get the job done,” Hogan said. “It should be a pretty seamless transition.”

The Sun Devils (21-0-0) are the only remaining team in the ACHA without a loss. Back in early October, ASU swept Arizona (10-10-0), outscoring it a combined 11-1 in a pair of games at Oceanside Arena in Tempe, Ariz.

Luckily for the Wildcats, the Sun Devils will be without several of their best players this weekend because of the Winter World University Games.

Forwards Brian McGinty, Danny McAuliffe and Sean Murphy, plus defensemen Alex Temby and Jordan Young, will all be suiting up for the U.S. Temby and Young each had goals in ASU’s 5-1 win over Arizona on October 4, and McAuliffe netted one the following night in the Sun Devil’s 6-0 victory.

However, ASU will still have its most productive player on offense in sophomore forward Kale Dolinski, whose 40 points (11 goals, 29 assists) are second in the ACHA. The Sun Devils will also have their elite goalies in freshman Robert Levin (11-0-0, 0.93 goals against average) and senior Joseph D’Elia (9-00 1.11 GAA).

“We just have to stick with our game plan,” Dougall said. “I think we have a style of play that we need to play; we can’t play their [the Sun Devils’] type of game. Getting them [the Wildcats] motivated shouldn’t be a problem, but

While Arizona will be without assistant captain Andrew Murmes all weekend because of his suspension, his fellow senior forward Ansel IvensAnderson is expected to be near 100 percent after nursing a broken foot the past several weeks. Ivens-Anderson, the captain, is third on the team with 16 points (four goals, 12 assists). “[The injury] is really improving; it feels 100 percent when I’m just moving around,” Ivens-Anderson said. “I just took it easy in practice this week, and so I should be good to go by Friday.”

The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. both nights. Fans are encouraged to wear their corniest Christmas attire for Ugly Christmas Sweater Night on Saturday.
