Golden Boots bring novelty to Club Congress on Sunday Alex Whelan

G

to procure from a veterinary hospital. As Manos said, the idea was inspired by the Russian practice of secretly embedding music banned by the government into people’s X-rays to smuggle the tracks.

Unfortunately, due to the digitization of X-rays and specifics of the American legal system, the band was unable to find human X-rays to scratch their single into.

Luckily for them, one member had the idea to look into using animal X-rays, and after a long and arduous process, Golden Boots succeeded in their tribute to the ingenious practice of the Russians.

Plus, as the band said, it’s hilarious.

“Everything is novelty, really,” Eggleston said.

“It’s just funny and weird to us to advertise this single as a ‘novelty X-ray release,’” Manos said. “It just sounds amazing.”

True to intelligent yet playful form, the band noted that the experiment yielded another unexpected result: newfound appreciation from the veterinarians of America.

“We sent one up to one of the vets who’d helped us out with some of the X-rays and he just loved it,” Eggleston said. “He immediately ordered more so that he could pass them out to all his vet friends. We’re still reaching new demographics.”

Golden Boots are sure to be in top form at their show to celebrate the release of the X-ray vinyl at Club Congress on Sunday, right at home in downtown Tucson.

“It is such a creative community here,” Mons said.

“Everyone plays on each other’s records, and you can pretty much do whatever you want.”

For all their talk of novelty, there is no doubt that Golden Boots remain as serious as they ever have been.

Unsurprisingly, moments after Manos’ serious assessment of the music scene, Eggleston announced the band’s forthcoming hot sauce line, a smile breaking onto his face.

“We’ve even got our own special ingredient!” Manos added.

Simultaneously committed and ridiculous — it’s a quintessential Golden Boots moment.

olden Boots just want to have fun. If it weren’t already apparent from its creative records, the self-described “crumbly western” band is refreshingly honest about the light-hearted nature of its music.

“From the beginning, it has just been a matter of using whatever we could find to make sound, and it’s always been super fun,” said Golden Boots co-founder Ryen Eggleston.

Dimitri Manos, Eggleston’s partner in Golden Boots since 2001, added, “We’ve never been about presenting these super-serious tunes. There are serious ideas in there, though.”

By their own admission, Golden Boots started out by experimenting with parodies of country and bluegrass tunes that they smirkingly titled “crumbly western” or “no-grass.”

“We were limited by our own ability to play these genres like bluegrass or George Jones songs, so we opted to just deconstruct country entirely,” Manos said.

Even in music dated back to 2010 on their Bandcamp, there are remaining traces of the songwriting duo’s playful jabs at country-western music. Of course, even the loosest Golden Boots song features a minimum of three to-die-for pop hooks.

Despite their humble beginnings, both Eggleston and Manos have developed into formidable instrumentalists and producers. Be it at a live show or in a recording studio, their willingness to have fun seems to be the magic ingredient that makes Golden Boots so interesting.

Aside from their penchant for surprisingly original melodies, Golden Boots have also developed something of a reputation as an eccentric live act, which they don’t seem to have any problem with.

“Eccentric sounds good to me,” Eggleston said.

From rotating band members and instruments to spontaneous unrehearsed additions to songs at shows, Golden Boots have no shortage of ideas to shake things up.

The group’s latest endeavor? Releasing a single on vinyl made out of actual animal X-rays that the band managed

Café Poca Cosa stays fresh Alyssa DeMember

T

he name Café Poca Cosa may evoke the image of a quaint little eatery serving espresso and scones, but this bistro in downtown Tucson is a whole different animal. Located on Pennington Street, Café Poca Cosa serves upscale Mexican and Latin American cuisine.

The café has a modern look with vermilion walls and white-branched trees lit by the sparkling lights that frame the bar area. The white leather furniture is complemented by black floors and ceilings, and though the restaurant is clad in a contemporary, edgy style, its atmosphere is relaxed.

As evening arrives, however, it’s soon bustling and full of chatter. Dressed in black, staff members greet customers with poise and a smile. Their detailed knowledge of the cuisine gives the bistro a level of professionalism often missing in other restaurants.

The complimentary tortilla chips and salsa are nice, but with strong hints of cilantro, the salsa tastes about the same as any other salsa or pico de gallo in the city.

However, the birria de laurel, a slow-cooked shredded beef dish in a mild burgundy sauce, is another story. Served with corn tortillas, fluffy rice, pinto beans and a mix of finely shredded fruits and vegetables, this dish is sure to be a hit. The shredded beef is tender and

flavorful; the slightly sweet taste of the burgundy sauce mixes well with the leafy greens and shredded pear.

The sweet and savory flavors of rice, pear pieces, pinto beans, cabbage shreds and bay leaf all complement each other well.

For the college student who’s used to being stuck with a microwaved cheese quesadilla, going to Café Poca Cosa will be a breath of fresh air.

Beware, however — it is pricey.

The menu consists of about eight items and is changed twice daily. The45 menu isn’t on paper, either; instead, the day’s fare is written on chalkboards propped up around the restaurant.

When the server came to our table holding a chalkboard, she explained every dish so quickly that it was difficult to keep up.

Just tell the server to give you a minute to think it over, and take the time to walk around the restaurant to look at a couple of the chalkboards. It’s never good to feel rushed when deciding on your meal; food should always be a relaxed, enjoyable experience.

Despite small inconveniences due to the of the menu style, Café Poca Cosa is an excellent restaurant, and the more often you go, the easier it will be to choose an entrée.

Just be sure to split your meal — there will be enough for two.

Swindlers brings LA style to UA

Kyle wasson/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Swindlers, a fashion-forward boutique just steps from the Main Gate, offers a wide variety of vintage and novelty jewelry fit for any style.

Alexandra giroux Shopping can seem limited when you’re living on campus, with only the stores on University Boulevard and Fourth Avenue in walking distance. However, there is a hidden gem on University, its windows styled with rocker-chic clothing and a neon triangle sign. This young urban rocker store is called Swindlers. It has a clean boutique setup with nearly flawless visual merchandising; the dressing rooms’ design borders on the industrial and its music is the definition of hip, as it plays everything from Toro y Moi to Twin Shadow.

Even the employees have an artistic air about them, including owner Christina Henneke, who has flowing bohemian hair to match the style of her store. Henneke originally opened Swindlers on Fourth Avenue, but switched to University Boulevard after a year. Swindlers has been at its current location for three years now.

Henneke buys for the store personally. “There really is no specific company that I buy from the most,” she said. “I mainly just pick out items I like, so the brands usually vary.

“I try to carry as many local designers as possible. We currently stock four local jewelry designers and two local graphic designers that print tees and tanks,” she added. Swindlers carries some brands on a consistent basis, including Insight 51, Obey, Chaser, Somedays Lovin and Motel Rocks. The boutique is also one of very few stores in Tucson that carries Jeffery Campbell shoes.

All the products are effortlessly cool and exemplify West Coast fashion reminiscent of Los Angeles street wear.

“Blogs are a big source of inspiration,” Henneke said, “and I attend trade shows throughout the year, which keep me current because I get to see all the new things designers are doing.”

While trade shows are still imperative for fashion buyers, Henneke is proof that the fashion industry is quickly developing into a world of styles from fashion blogs like WhoWhatWear.com and Lookbook.nu.

Most fashionistas these days have not only a favorite brand, but a favorite fashion blog for inspiration as well.

Swindlers also carries fashion-forward accessories, and its ring selection is second to none — no surprise, since its rings are handpicked at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.

“The gem show is awesome,” Henneke said. “I make some of the jewelry in the store, so it is always a destination for me. I love browsing around, looking at all the stones and getting new ideas. I’ve been going since the store opened.”

With unique merchandise and an affordable price range, Swindlers should be at the top of your shopping destinations list this spring.

SENIOR BUCKET LIST KYLE WASSON/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

At some point, we’ll all have to graduate and move on. To get the most out of the college experience, here are some items to cross off our college bucket lists before saying goodbye to the UA. WILDCAT STAFF

1. Jumping in Old Main Fountain:

The fact that we’re not supposed to do it makes it all the more enticing.

If you’re planning to take the plunge, here are a few words of advice: Make sure you don’t accidentally damage anything, and if you’re going in winter, remember to bring plenty of towels and warm clothes for afterward. Oh, and if you can get your friends to dress up in tacky swimwear with you, it’ll be all the more hilarious and memorable.

KYLE WASSON/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

2. Sex in the library:

If you haven’t done the deed in the UA Main Library, you’ve at least thought about it. Five floors, rows and rows of books to get lost in and the thrill of getting caught — what could be more exciting? Plus, at what other time in your life will it be not only (relatively) acceptable, but also kind of awesome to do it in a library? Grab your significant other and cross this off your bucket list.

3. Something Sweet sugar OD challenge:

Something Sweet dessert lounge has been giving patrons bellyaches with its food challenge since 2009.

If you complete the challenge you get a free T-shirt, your picture on Something Sweet’s wall of fame and $45. But what exactly is this challenge? In under 30 minutes, you must consume four slices of cheesecake topped with four thick brownies, four scoops of vanilla ice cream, and a mountain of whipped cream and chocolate sauce complete with cherries.

Only four have been victorious. Now’s your chance to become number five.

4. Ghost hunting:

Even if you don’t believe in the headless ghost of Carlos Maldenado in Old Main or the sobbing bride in Maricopa Residence Hall, ghost hunting on campus can still be a blast.

While this activity may sometimes teeter on the border of breaking and entering, in the end, it’s worth it for the stories you’ll have to tell.

Compile a list of buildings to investigate and commit to it. Bear Down Gymnasium supposedly holds the spirit of John “Button” Byrd Salmon. Custodians and night owls have also witnessed both a male and female ghost residing in Centennial Hall. With a little liquor on your breath, you’re guaranteed to walk away from ghost hunting with some supernatural stories.

5. Frog & Firkin beer card:

Frog & Firkin’s beer card is the quintessential bucket list item for beer connoisseurs. The restaurant keeps the card so you won’t forget it when you come in, and for each new beer you try, you receive a stamp. After 50 stamps, you earn a champion beer T-shirt — because you can never have too many shirts displaying your alcoholism.

After 75 stamps, you get a mug to make drinking beer morning-friendly. If you try all 86 beers, you get official bragging rights with a plaque and a picture of yourself on the restaurant wall so everyone can see your growing beer gut.

6. Watch the sunset from the Gould-Simpson building:

Who says a bucket list needs to be wild and crazy? Sometimes all you need is a dose of that inimitable Tucson sunset. As the tallest building on campus, the Gould-Simpson building is the perfect place to reaffirm your existence.

The glass windows that line the walls of Gould-Simpson’s highest floor make it the perfect spot to watch the sun fall behind the mountains. Whether you’re bored on campus, stressed with senior seminars or planning a date with your special someone, head over to Gould-Simpson to witness the one natural phenomenon Tucson is actually justified in bragging about.

7. Shotgun a beer in the library:

When the going gets tough, the tough drink in the library. It’ll be midterm season soon, and finals will be here not long after that. Spending long, torturous hours in the library is no easy task, and what better way to break the stress than by shotgunning 12 ounces of your favorite brew?

Smuggle a six-pack in your backpack, and be sure to shotgun over a surface that’s easy to clean. Don’t be the asshole to soak the carpet with beer, and take your empty cans with you.

KYLE WASSON/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

8. Laser light show at Flandrau:

It would be a shame to graduate without seeing the ballsiest trip show this campus legally supports. The laser light show at Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium provides all the visual captivation of a rave in the comfort of an auditorium with seats.

Watching refracted light beams to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon for an hour will take you to the dark side and back. Alone or with friends, this psychedelic trip is well worth taking.

Compost to conquering world hunger: Fungi are the answer

S

Audrey Molloy

tereotypically, the mushroom is affiliated with smoke shops and hippie caravans. Scientifically, it is a fungus. On the UA campus, it is a key to sustainable research.

Barry Pryor, a mycologist and UA professor of plant sciences, is conducting an extensive research project using mushrooms to enhance the sustainability of food systems, and he’s keeping the project local.

“We’re trying to incorporate the use of some of these edible mushrooms in a decomposition-based, recycling, sustainable system,” Pryor said. “We’re providing nutritional food for college students, health promoting and delicious food, while at the same time helping recycle some of the common waste generated on a college campus.”

This waste, including pizza boxes, coffee grounds, mesquite pods and newspapers, is being used to grow the mushrooms.

The mushroom project exists to enhance local sustainability, the primary goal being to turn waste products into soil for food production.

Mushrooms are decomposers in nature, breaking down materials like Starbucks cups and coffee grounds to form nutrient-rich soil from which other organisms may grow.

The mushroom project creates opportunities to recycle degradable materials while

imbuing soil with higher concentrations of nutrients — and where there’s richer soil, there’s more food.

“It’s really the missing step in our food system right now,” research assistant Parker Evans said. “We have all these very defined ways to grow crops. We have all these very important ways to process things, and so everything is just entirely processed. We need a way to get a Starbucks cup back to wood, and how do I do that? Mushrooms.”

Yes, mushrooms. The team of researchers in Pryor’s laboratory is harvesting both edible and medicinal mushrooms for environmental change. These mushrooms are not hallucinogens, but they are altering the vision of sustainable practices for this generation.

UA composting organization Compost Cats is an active participant in the mushroom project, Pryor said. By collecting coffee grounds from campus locations and Starbucks, Compost Cats is providing the literal grounds for mushroom growth.

Introduced to the university in the fall of 2012 by graduate student Lauren Jackson, the mushroom project began as an investigation into the ability of medicinal mushrooms to facilitate sustainability in an increasingly overpopulated and over-processed world.

Mushrooms, it seems, can serve a greater purpose than just topping your pizza.

“Mushrooms provide a lot of nutritional benefits in our diet,” Pryor said, “mainly in regards to health-promoting qualities such as cholesterol reduction, hypertension reduction, antitumor properties, anti-inflammatory properties and many properties that lead to increased longevity.”

Jackson said mushrooms are relatively unexplored in Western cultures, despite their many superfood qualities.

They work effectively as a protein supplement, and have been traced to potentially cancer-curing research in Japan, he said.

In America, however, mushrooms are underappreciated.

“A lot of people, when they think mushrooms, they think of poison, or hallucinating, or button mushrooms at the store. People just aren’t familiar with them,” Jackson said.

The mushroom project is striving to make known the viability of mushrooms as an efficient food source, and dispel some of the negative assumptions surrounding the fungi.

The mushroom project also exists in an age where food production is a growing concern. Earth is exponentially surpassing its carrying capacity with a relative population of 8 billion, according to Jackson. The planet’s population is expected to reach 9 billion by the year 2050. Currently, more than 1 billion people are considered to be going hungry.

How do we feed more people with less land?

Implementing a sustainable future requires building from the ground up, and in Pryor’s laboratory, that means starting with mushrooms.

“We’re going to have 9 billion people on the planet and you’re going to keep processing Starbucks cups and throwing them in ditches?” Evans said. “You can’t feed 9 billion people without mushrooms.”

Grown in a plant sciences lab run by plant sciences professor Barry Pryor, these pink oyster mushrooms are just one species in Pryor’s battle against world hunger.

Recyclemania gets fun with these crafts Paige Pollara Recyclemania: Banners are up all over the halls promoting the eight-week competition, but what exactly is it? It’s a friendly competition between not only the halls here on campus, but also nationwide. Its goal is to promote sustainability by actively trying to get students to cut back on how much water and energy they consume and how much waste they generate, in order to build a greener community. On our campus, the halls are raising the stakes a little by offering money toward sustainable programs or amenities for the top three energy-saving halls.

Get involved by recycling, conserving, going to events and taking part in Earth Hour — unplug your electronics and hit up the darkened UA Mall on March 23 at 8 p.m. for entertainment and free pizza.

In the meantime, here are two sustainable crafts that are way more fun than you might imagine.

Record-breaking bowl

This activity is super simple. All you have to do is heat the oven to about 200 degrees, flip the ovenproof bowl upside down on the cookie tray and place the record on top of it. Stick the cookie sheet in the oven for four to eight minutes, and then take out your awesome new bowl. Be careful to let it cool and take shape before you use it.

Newsy nails

Clearly you read the Arizona Daily Wildcat, so why not With all the thrift shops and eclectic stores on Fourth Avenue, there are tons of cool recycle it in an awesome way? secondhand products available. Pick up What you need: some used records for this project. * A copy of the Daily Wildcat * Light-colored nail polish What you need: * Rubbing alcohol, or vodka if you’re 21 * A record * A bowl * Ovenproof bowl * A clear top coat nail polish * Cookie sheet * Oven mitt First, paint your nails with the light-colored nail polish. The best color for this is typically white, but light pink, purple, green and blue will do as well. Wait for your nails to dry, then pour some rubbing alcohol/vodka into the bowl (you only need only a little) and submerge each nail for about 10 seconds, one at a time.

When you pull your nail out, immediately place a strip of newspaper print on top and hold it for about 10-15 seconds. Be careful peeling it back, and repeat with a new strip of newspaper on each nail. Make sure your nails are dry before putting on the top coat.

Joan is puzzled to find her brother so blissful. As she tries to unravel the mystery behind Beane’s new love, Joan’s own relationship with her husband undergoes a transformation as well. This captivating, quirky comedy is a tender and humorous rhapsody to love’s power in all its forms. (Adult themes and profanity.)

WILDCAT WEEKEND â&#x20AC;˘ 11

Wildcats have chance to end late conference free-fall against Buffs LUKE DAVIS The Arizona womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team (11-12, 3-9 Pac-12) will look to end its current seven-game losing streak this weekend as it hosts No. 21 Colorado (18-5, 7-5) on Friday and Utah (13-10, 4-8) on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been getting frustrated,â&#x20AC;? Wildcats head coach Niya Butts said about her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low shooting percentage during the seven-game skid, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but never had a lack of confidence.â&#x20AC;?

Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losing streak started on Jan. 20 when the Wildcats lost 79-36 to the same Colorado team, but in Boulder, Colo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That game was a throwaway,â&#x20AC;? Butts said.

In its previous battle with the Buffs, Arizona played without its second-leading scorer, Kama Griffitts, and shot a dismal 25 percent.

The Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up as Colorado shot 50 percent from the field and out-rebounded Arizona 51-26.

Since the 43-point loss, the Wildcats have played three ranked opponents on the road, including No. 4 Stanford and No. 6 California.

However, there is some encouragement for Arizona this weekend. In Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, the Wildcats had one of their best offensive showings of the season in a losing effort on the road to California. Arizona shot 50 percent and made 20-22 free throws. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reason for optimism after [Sunday],â&#x20AC;? Butts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw substantial improvement from Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game to Sunday.â&#x20AC;?

In last Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Stanford, the Wildcats struggled to find the bottom of the net. Furthermore, Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer, Davellyn Whyte, was held to a season low of six points. But the Wildcats did play tough

defense, forcing 19 turnovers against the Cardinal, a season high for Stanford.

That being said, Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Achillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heel against California was its 21 offensive turnovers. To make matters worse, the Wildcats only forced 13 turnovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely turned the ball over too much,â&#x20AC;? Butts said about their loss to California, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I saw confidence.â&#x20AC;?

Tonight, Arizona will play a Colorado team that is similar to California. The Wildcats will need to be better in their allaround game in order to compete with the Buffs. It will be crucial for the Wildcats to chase down boards and use their athleticism to get second-chance opportunities, as the Buffs have the second-best scoring defense in the Pac-12, behind Stanford.

But maybe most importantly, Arizona canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn the ball over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to minimize our mistakes,â&#x20AC;?

Butts said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;especially against teams that are good at taking advantage of them.â&#x20AC;?

Chucky Jeffery is Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer and a double threat, averaging 8.6 rebounds per game.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to contain her,â&#x20AC;? Butts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel pretty good coming into this game, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit the panic button.â&#x20AC;?

Arizona wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave the state for the rest of the regular season. The Wildcats have six remaining games, including Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Five are at home, and Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only road game is Feb. 24 at ASU. Arizona currently sits in ninth in the conference, but is only four games behind the fifth-place Buffaloes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we should feel pretty good about our last game, and hopefully we carry that on to each game,â&#x20AC;? Butts said.

burned out Buffs run over Arizona 71-58 in second consecutive loss

W

cameron moon

ell, that one hurt.

Arizona (20-4, 8-4 Pac-12) lost to Colorado (17-7, 7-5 Pac-12) in Boulder, Colo., 71-58 last night, by far the Wildcats’ most lopsided loss of the season. With a win, the Wildcats would have had a chance to retain at least a tie for first place in the conference, but the loss, coupled with Oregon’s win Wednesday night, means that Arizona solidified a second-place tie with UCLA. But don’t forget, the Bruins hold the tiebreaker at this point because of Arizona’s 7667 loss to UCLA on Jan. 19.

While we’re on the subject of losses, what happened to the fire this team played with while mounting a 14-0 record heading into the first part of the Pac-12 season?

Where is the offensive firepower that allowed the Wildcats to score at least 80 points in eight contests this season?

The offense sputtered all night against Colorado, as only two Wildcats scored in double digits. Leading the way was senior forward Solomon Hill, who scored 12 points on 5-of-14 shooting, and had to heat up to get that many.

Before he hit four shots in a row over the final minutes of the game, Hill was only 1-of-9.

Nick Johnson continued to struggle offensively, as he has for four games in a row now, scoring nine points on three made field goals.

Defensively, the Buffaloes ripped and roared up and down the court, seemingly nailing everything. In reality, CU made exactly 50 percent of its shots. Thursday night’s game marked the second game this week in which the Wildcats have given up at least 50 percent shooting from the field.

Last night also marked the first pair of backto-back losses since the season-ending losses to Colorado in the Pac-12 tournament and to Bucknell in the NIT a season ago.

But the 2011-12 team had excuses.

It lacked the size and the depth to make a serious run at the conference frontrunners or teams with a center with any level of athleticism.

This year’s squad has depth, as nine players saw action against Colorado, four of them taller than 6-foot-7.

What Thursday night’s loss highlighted most was that Arizona is a lot like the Denver Nuggets of the Pac-12, with complementary pieces and talented individual players — but Arizona does not have one guy that can take the game over when it matters and raise this team to the next level.

Sure, you can argue for Hill, Johnson or Mark

James Bradbury/CU Independent

Colorado guard Spencer Dinwiddie works around Arizona’s Angelo Chol during the Buff’s 71-58 win over the Wildcats. The UA allowed Colorado to shoot 50 percent in Thursday night’s game, resulting in the first pair of back-to-back losses since last season.

Lyons.

Hill made six 3-pointers in the first half against Washington State but failed to score in the second half. Johnson may be Arizona’s most talented and athletic player; maybe if he wasn’t so exhausted from guarding the other team’s best perimeter player every game (no matter the height), he would have a little juice left over on the offensive side of the ball.

Johnson’s matchup tonight, Spencer Dinwiddie, scored 21 points on nine shots and nine free throws. Cal’s Allen Crabbe scored 31 points on 80 percent (12-of-15 shooting) Sunday.

Finally, against UCLA, freshman Shabazz Muhammad scored 23 points on Johnson.

Anyone else seeing a pattern?

The case for Lyons is stronger, as he nailed a layup that sealed a win over Florida for the

Wildcats, but his tendency to drive to the basket with a defender draped all over him is troubling to say the least. Lyons dished out four assists and only committed one turnover Thursday night, but that may be a by-product of early foul trouble Thursday night.

Arizona, which seemed like a strong favorite to regain the conference at this time last week, has turned into an inconsistent team looking for an identity. The 3-pointers aren’t falling the same way as they did early in the season. The freshman bigs are starting to show the wear of their first conference season, and the Wildcats need a leader to have a serious shot at postseason glory.

Softball UA locked and loaded for 2013 season Wildcats begin title defense at 6 Friday at Hi Corbett Field against hosts Coppin State annual tourney luke davis

James kelley This weekend, Arizona softball hosts the 17th Hillenbrand Invitational, a five-team, threeday, 15-game tournament in which Arizona will play five games.

Nebraska (5-0), Drake (4-1), Southern Utah (1-4), Purdue (2-3) and Utah State (0-5) will participate in the invitational. No. 19 Arizona (3-2) has an all-time record of 79-3 in the Hillenbrand Invitational.

“I think it’s a good field, and it’s definitely a good challenge,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “It’s good to be at home and see what we can do here.”

On Friday, Arizona opens the home schedule with Nebraska at 4 p.m., followed by Drake at about 6 p.m.

“Nebraska’s a very good team, and it’ll be a very formidable opponent,” Candrea said. “They’re hitting about .395 coming in, so they swing the bats — usually big kids, lots of power.

“Drake is a very good, well coached team ­ — can play with anyone,” Candrea said.

Arizona’s last loss in the tournament was to Creighton in 2009, 6-0.

On Saturday, the Wildcats play Southern Utah at 4 p.m., then Purdue at 6 p.m.

“I’m really excited because my family gets to come and watch,” freshman second baseman Mandie Perez said. “Besides fall, this is going to be my real first home

Softball, 11

The No. 18 Arizona baseball team will begin its 2012 NCAA title defense Friday night at Hi Corbett Field as it opens the 2013 season by hosting Coppin State University.

Arizona head coach Andy Lopez has been persistent in refusing to compare this year’s squad to the national championship team of last year. Lopez has emphasized that he wants to make sure everyone in the program is focused on the game at hand and with t h e overall progression of this year’s team.

But with regards to tonight, he said, “It’s just one of 56.”

“You want to win every game,” Lopez said.

“But I don’t place any more importance on this game.”

The Wildcats haven’t lost a season opener since 2008, when they fell 7-9 to eventual College World Series runner-up Georgia in Athens, Ga. But the Wildcats haven’t lost a home opener since 1995, with a record of 4510 in the first weekend games of each year.

Six starters from Arizona’s 2012 team have moved on, but many core players remain.

The 2012 Pac-12 batting champ, Johnny Field, returns for his junior season. The left fielder slugged for a .370 average and scored 72 runs in 2012.

Field, who was selected to the 2013 Louisville Slugger preseason All-American team, was disciplined at the plate as well. He drew 44 walks over the season and had an onbase percentage of .476. Defensively, Field will shift over to center field since the Tampa Bay Rays drafted former Wildcat Joey Rickard in the ninth round of this past summer’s draft.

“He’s done a great job so far in center,” Lopez said about Field. “He’s been very accurate in throwing people out this fall.”

Junior right-handed starter Konner Wade will take the hill for the Wildcats. The ace was Arizona’s Saturday starter last season, and Arizona finished the season with an 11-3 record with a 3.96 ERA. Wade made great strides last season,

gaining the trust of the coaching staff to be the Wildcats’ ace this season. Wade, who throws a consistent 92 to 93 mph fastball, has been working on a slider during the offseason to add to his game.

“It’s still coming along, but it’s going to be a good pitch for me,” Wade said about his slider.

“My fastball and changeup are pretty similar in their movement, so if I can get a pitch that breaks off in the other direction than those two pitches, it will only help me.”

In 2012, Arizona predominantly started only two freshmen throughout the season: Second baseman Trent Gilbert and catcher Riley Moore. Friday night, the Wildcats will likely have at least three freshmen in their starting lineup.

Kevin Newman was chosen early in the winter to take over at shortstop, and multiple freshmen were fighting for corner outfield positions as well as first base and designated hitter.

“Coming in as a freshman, you’re a little bit scared,” Moore said about last season. “But as the season goes on, you gain experience and get a lot better.”

Friday, Arizona welcomes a Coppin State club that went 1-53 a season ago and was 0-27 on the road.

In 2012, the Eagles were led by pitcher/infielder Ian Arciaga. The thenfreshman hit for a .275 batting average and had an on-base percentage of .320. The three predominant starters for Coppin State combined for an ERA of 9.22.

This is a three-game series with the Eagles, with game two on Saturday afternoon and game three on Sunday.

Lopez, who won his first NCAA championship in 1992 with Pepperdine, explained that the most common characteristic of teams coming off a

championship is that they get stressed out.

Lopez wants to make sure the Wildcats take this season slow and don’t get bogged down with early season woes.

“The reality of college baseball is you have 56 games and then there’s a tournament at the end,” Lopez said. “As long as we are progressively getting better as the season goes along, then we’re doing what we need to do.”
