Wildcats weigh in: Who will win an Oscar?

T

ALEX GUYTON & TAYLOR ARMOSINO

he cream of the crop in film will be on display on Sunday at the 86th Academy Awards, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres. Arts and Life reporters from the Daily Wildcat take their best stab at predicting the winners.

Best Picture Who will win: “12 Years a Slave” (Alex, Taylor) Taylor: “Gravity” has seen a big momentum boost as of late, but “12 Years a Slave” was the best movie of 2013. It’s a film that floors audiences with its unadulterated authenticity and is loaded with relevant racial and political narratives. It’s a masterpiece and should be recognized as such.

It will be a travesty if “American Hustle” wins.

Alex: Even though the field of this year’s Best Picture candidates is a strong one, especially when compared to last year’s, there has not been a film that has stood above “12 Years a Slave.” There’s a chance this may be the only award this film wins, but it is, undoubtedly, taking home this statue.

Best Directing Who will win: Alfonso Cuarón (Taylor), Steve McQueen (Alex) Taylor: Two weeks ago, a TV Azteca reporter asked Cuarón what it was like to film in outer space. That’s pretty much all you need to know. Cuarón’s cutting edge cinematography and special effects made “Gravity” a near-perfect movie-going experience.

Alex: Cuarón took huge risks with “Gravity,” featuring only two actors on screen for 90 minutes as they try to survive in space, and they largely paid off. However, Sandra

WARNER BROS.

Bullock’s monologues are too obtuse, and a misstep. Why shouldn’t the man who helmed the Best Picture favorite be the favorite for Best Director? I throw my hat into the ring for his accomplishments with “12 Years a Slave.”

Best Actor in a Leading Role Who will win: Matthew McConaughey (Taylor), Leonardo DiCaprio (Alex) Taylor: “Dallas Buyers Club” is a deeply

flawed film, but McConaughey carried it on his shoulders. It was a performance only he could’ve done, and without him, the film would be significantly worse. He should be the overwhelming favorite.

Alex: This is my 16 seed over the 1 seed.

OK, Leo’s not a 16 seed in any world, but everyone has written him off, because, well, Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t win Oscars. This year, though, he does. Ejiofor (“12 Years a Slave”) and McConaughey have emerged as

‘La Grande Bellezza’ is foreign frontrunner

W

alex guyton

ith the mainstream fare this past weekend not providing anything of note (“Pompeii” and “3 Days to Kill” don’t look like much), let’s turn back to films slightly off of the beaten Hollywood path.

“The Great Beauty” (“La grande bellezza” in its native Italian) is an art house film about Rome’s high class as it tries to stay young and relevant against the vivid backdrop of a city that entertains and haunts.

“The Great Beauty” opens with a party as extravagant as any that you would find in a Baz Luhrmann film.

Italian luminaries cavort, fool around and throw drinks on themselves on the rooftop of an apartment in Rome that overlooks the Coliseum. All of this decadence is to celebrate the 65th birthday of Jep Gambardella (Toni Servillo), an aging Italian playboy who found instant fame

and fortune in his early 20s when he penned a famous novel. He tells the audience that he wanted to own the high life even more than he wanted to be a part of it.

He didn’t want to simply throw great parties; he wanted to have the power to make parties into failures.

Though he still parties and rubs shoulders with the who’s who of Rome, at his age the lifestyle starts to lose its sheen.

When tragedy hits, his acerbic wit and increasing disillusionment leads to detachment, and he begins to look back on his life.

In typical European art house fashion, the film spends time on scenes that would barely register in a typical Hollywood flick. The bourgeois socialites lounge about and reflect on their lives and dreams for the future.

The visuals of “The Great Beauty” are resplendent and bizarre. As Gambardella walks the streets of Rome at night, we accompany him as if walking with him in a waking dream. In the

“Director Paolo Sorrentino has crafted a modernday italy that is as much a character as any of its denizens.”

Oscar Predictions from page 5

Taylor: This is a two-woman race between Blanchett and Amy Adams (“American Hustle”). Blanchett has been the clear favorite ever since the movie came out, and her performance was by far the best. However, this is Adams’ fifth nomination and the academy might be ready to reward her recent stretch of great performances. Blanchett should win, but Adams winning wouldn’t be a stunner.

Alex: Blanchett has this locked up in a vault, yet will the controversy with Woody Allen, whose adopted daughter alleges he sexually assaulted her, cause voters to avoid rewarding “Blue Jasmine”? I don’t believe so. Also, never count out Streep, just because she’s Meryl Streep and it’s the Oscars.

opening scene, exotic-looking women dance before wall-length windows, on display for the world to see. A giraffe stands amongst the ancient architecture of the city as a magician acquaintance of Gambardella practices making the creature disappear.

Yet beyond the luscious sights and epic bacchanals lie broken hopes and melancholy. Director Paolo Sorrentino has crafted a modern-day Italy that is as much a character as any of its denizens.

In fact, Rome may be the most prominent character of the film.

The canvas is just as important as the paints that play upon it.

Servillo leads an ensemble of a wonderful variety. His performance is nuanced and an excellent cast surrounds him. They all bring to light their characters’ flaws and doubts in their older age as they try to chase their youth.

Some parts of the film feel a little disparate and disjointed, and it may not be as grandiose and sweeping as it hopes to be.

I may be mistaken, but I am not convinced.

This Italian film is nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Oscars, and looks to be the frontrunner. I’ve only seen one other film in the category, Denmark’s “The Hunt,” and I would place Denmark’s offering over Italy’s. However, a win for

Indigo Film

“The Great Beauty” would not be an epic tragedy, for it’s a tale of loss and living against a sumptuous backdrop tinged with the melancholy of a gone-by youth.

Grade: B+ — Follow Alex Guyton @TDWildcatFilm

Best Actor in a Supporting Role

Best Actress in a Supporting Role

Who will win: Bradley Cooper (Taylor), Jared Leto (Alex) Taylor: The favorite is Jared Leto (“Dallas Buyers Club”), but I’m calling an upset here. The academy loves “American Hustle,” showcased by its four acting nominations, and I think we’ll see at least one actor win for this movie. This category is wide open, and I think Cooper sneaks in and grabs the Oscar for his excellent performance — although I’d give it to Michael Fassbender for his deep, dark performance in “12 Years a Slave.”

Alex: Fassbender turned into a villain that salivated with insanity and power. Yet, like all the vanguards of cinema’s rogues gallery, Fassbender’s slave owner Epps had foibles and weakness. Leto, though, made the turn as a transgender individual, which is usually Oscar gold. Of course, his performance stands on its own merits, and is not a “gimmick” in the slightest. Leto will be rewarded come Sunday.

Who will win: Lupita Nyong’o (Taylor, Alex) Taylor: It’s between Nyong’o (“12 Years a Slave”) and Jennifer Lawrence (“American Hustle”). The academy loves Lawrence, but Nyong’o’s performance was much deeper and more powerful, as her character really epitomized the horrors of slave life in the mid-1800s. She deserves to win and will win.

Alex: I was a little taken aback when Lawrence won the Golden Globe for “American Hustle.” She delivered a fine performance, but she just won an Oscar for “Silver Linings Playbook.” Besides which, Nyong’o’s performance in “12 Years a Slave” is simply crafted on a different level than Lawrence’s. A superior, more emotional, visceral level.

The Buffet Bar & Crock Pot ALEX GUYTON/THE DAILY WILDCAT

What’s your favorite drink to make?

Well, lately everyone’s been fond of my Bloody Marys. I make a damn fine margarita. My favorite drink to make is something sweet and tasty for the girlies.

Whatever they like.

What’s your least favorite drink to make?

Any creamy drinks, anything with cream in them … like a White Russian, or something like that.

Would you say The Buffet is known for anything specifically?

We’re known for being the oldest and best bar in Tucson. The greatest dive. In 2009, Esquire magazine named us the best dive bar in America. In 2010, they changed it to best bar in America.

What’s your most memorable customer?

Well, Sonny sat there for a long time.

He was here; I remember him sitting there when I was drinking back in the early ’90s, and he was still sitting there up until about a year ago. He was a cranky old guy, but he was also funny and had a sweet laugh.

Weirdest, strangest thing you’ve seen go down at the bar?

Firefighters changing clothes with the nurses. For some reason, they all decided to trade shirts. I never quite figured out why they were changing shirts, but it was fun.

As a customer, what can I do to piss you off as a bartender?

It’s kind of hard in this place, but if you manage to piss [off ] somebody else in this place, like if you were to cause any of my customers grief. This morning, there were some guys who would not shut up the whole time. I had to have them removed.

People were trying to drink in peace, and they wouldn’t let them. Be loud and obnoxious, that’ll work.

All You Can Eat Sushi $21.95

On the flip side, what can I do to make your job as easy as possible?

Know exactly what you like when you come in and be a regular. As soon as the regulars walk in the door, I know exactly what they’re having and I just make it.

Boom, it’s waiting for them when they sit down. That’s the beauty of this job: You get to know a lot of good people.

What’s a drinking trend that you’d like to see go away?

My reflex would be to go with … mixing Red Bull in your drinks, because it’s not really healthy. But it also helps promote a party-like atmosphere in the evening when people are kind of sleepy. Boom, everybody’s up again. I don’t know if there’s any trends I’d like to see disappear. … Jägers. Really nasty stuff. And the Jäger Spice tastes just like Jäger.

St. Vincent’s new LP pushes boundaries

S

Christianna Silva

t. Vincent has long been known for her eccentric pop sensibilities and characteristically untamed hair.

She breaks rules that previous pop musicians have set and unravels a new sound that not many have heard before.

Annie Clark, who goes by St. Vincent, officially released her self-titled album on Tuesday, and it has already caused a commotion.

St. Vincent previewed on NPR on Feb. 17.

After I listened to the beats and chords bounce off the walls of my eardrums, the theme of this album was clear: rebellion. Clark’s calming voice, robust guitar technique and repetitive harmonic upbeats create a cohesiveness between rock and pop; this album is the core of her work.

St. Vincent isn’t Clark’s first time showing her rebellious side. After attending the Berklee College of Music for three years, she dropped out in hopes of pursuing her

music career without all of the boundaries of traditional music education.

The artist said in a press release that she “wanted to make a party record you could play at a funeral.”

The album was produced with John Congleton, who also produced for The Mountain Goats and Modest Mouse. Clark and Congleton have worked together in the past and have proven to be a compatible artist-producer duo.

The songs in St. Vincent often begin with a hollow ambiance. As the songs progress, the sound becomes more dense and more fulfilling.

For example, “Birth In Reverse,” one of the first songs of the album, begins with distressed guitar chords and bass marking each beat; these are then layered with Clark’s smooth vocals. As the melodies unfold, so does the excitement and rush of the tune as she echoes the guitar chorus. Clark handles both guitar and vocals and exhibits her

Artist Annie Clark, who goes by St. Vincent, recently released her latest self-titled album, which showcases her exceptional voice and guitar technique and makes for a nice marriage between pop and rock.

varied skills in this song. “Birth In Reverse“ serves as a perfect snapshot of the album in its entirety.

As Clark artfully uses her guitar skills throughout the album, it’s evident that she’s an educated musician. Her jazz training from Berklee influences every note she creates, while her refusal to conform to the norm challenges the traditions of her education.

St. Vincent is a prime album for any pop music aficionado. Clark combines hard guitars, ominous chords and silky vocals to create a heavy, strangely unique album worthy of four stars.

from page 10

Russell has 27 CDs and rarely repeats songs from one to the next.

The guitarist spends the majority of his time touring prestigious venues such as Wigmore Hall in London and Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo. Last year, Russell and his wife spent three months at their home in Spain and the rest of their year touring.

When Russell isn’t traveling, he and his wife direct their efforts toward their charities.

Their work includes the development and promotion of healthy drinking water in African countries, the maintenance of schools for handicapped and disabled children in India and more.

“There’s always something fascinating about a person who has become the best in their field,” Pernet said.

An Ode to Ella Fitzgerald

UAPresents brings a tribute concert commemorating the legendary Ella Fitzgerald to the Fox Tucson Theatre on Saturday night

B

Kevin Reagan

ing Crosby once described her simply as “the greatest.”

The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra will try to showcase why the late Ella Fitzgerald is worthy of such praise at its tribute concert this Saturday night in the Fox Tucson Theatre. The event is sponsored by UAPresents.

Featuring the resurrection of many big-band arrangements that haven’t been performed in decades, the concert is a touring performance by the 17-member ensemble based in Washington, D.C. Kim Nazarian, the founder of the New York Voices vocal group, will be the star vocalist to accompany the orchestra.

Ella Fitzgerald joins the ranks of some of her contemporaries, like Duke Ellington and Benny Carter,

who have been celebrated by the Smithsonian Orchestra in a fulllength concert.

Fans of the singer can expect to hear favorites like “Lady Be Good,” “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and “Cheek to Cheek.” The repertoire will mostly consist of ballads performed by Fitzgerald in the 1940s and 1950s.

“She was so versatile,” said Keith Pawlak, adjunct instructor for the UA School of Music. “She was able to do wonders with any sized group.”

Pawlak teaches a course in the history of jazz, and Fitzgerald is one of the many vocalists covered in his curriculum. He says that one of Fitzgerald’s greatest traits was her innate ordinariness.

A teenage orphan from Yonkers, Fitzgerald always worked for her success. Pawlak said that her lack of pretension or vanity is partly what kept her popular from the 1930s

through the late 1980s. Even after losing both of her legs to diabetes, the singer kept performing up until a few years before her death in 1996.

“She was always trying to do the best she [could],” Pawlak said.

Compared to other blues singers of the era, like Billie Holiday or “Ma” Rainey, Pawlak said that Fitzgerald had a greater depth in her vocal range.

Pieces of Fitzgerald memorabilia can be found in a musical archive administrated by the UA’s School of Music. Postcards and photographs belonging to Fitzgerald reside within the archive, but Pawlak said one of the rarest items in possession is the original written score of an album recorded by Fitzgerald in the 1950s.

Consisting of Fitzgerald singing renditions of well-known Irving Berlin tunes, the album

is remembered as being the first to earn Fitzgerald a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Fitzgerald went on to win three more times in this category.

“This manuscript puts us on par with the Smithsonian,” Pawlak said.

Having access to this type of manuscript allows an orchestra to recreate exactly what the author had envisioned, Pawlak added.

The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra will attempt to play these tunes just as they were envisioned when performed

by Fitzgerald. Tickets to this onenight-only event range from $27$45 and can be purchased on the Fox Tucson Theatre’s website.

May the odds be ever in UA’s favor

C

camille carlin alling all health nuts: Friday is the final day of the schoolwide Pac-12 Fitness Challenge. The challenge is an opportunity to support the UA and promote a healthy, active

lifestyle.

The challenge began on Monday and ends Friday. It is the continuation of the annual fitness challenge held between the Pac-12 Recreation Departments to engage individuals and inspire them to be active and healthy members of their university. Students can sign up online at PAC12challenge.org and log their minutes of activity each day. They can also download the Preva app, create an account and track themselves on their phones.

The challenge does not only involve students, though. Friends, family and dedicated Wildcat fans can all participate and show their pride for Arizona while staying active and healthy at the same time.

One of the masterminds behind the event on the Arizona campus is the senior assistant director for Campus Recreation, Michele Schwitzky.

“The Pac-12 Fitness Challenge is a fun competition between campus recreation centers to see who is the fittest campus,” Schwitzky said. “Events are planned across

the Pac-12 to boost engagement and promote new programs at all campuses. … Most events are either free or very low cost.”

To aid students participating in the challenge, the Student Recreation Center is offering free group fitness courses to all those who show their Pac-12 Fitness

Challenge application. There will also be a boot camp at noon on Cherry Field that is free to all Pac-12 mobile applicants, and a new group fitness class called “Pound Fitness” that uses drumsticks to create a rhythmic workout for the whole body. The class will begin at 6 p.m. and costs $5. The final event is a Racquetball Tournament at 5:30 p.m. that includes prizes for the winners.

The activity does not have to be at the Student Recreation Center to count toward a student’s minutes; it can be any form of exercise. The objective is to introduce new ways to work out and show school pride while staying healthy and active, according to the Pac-12 Fitness Challenge site. Some of the previous winners include UCLA, Stanford and ASU. As of Thursday evening, Stanford was in first place with more than 329,000 minutes logged. The UA was in fifth place with about 66,000 minutes.

Top three cities to escape to in Mexico camille carlin

M

exico is a prime destination for Arizona students.

Here are three of the hottest destinations south of the border to scope out for spring break.

Cabo San Lucas The award for the highest population of students in attendance goes to Cabo San Lucas, more commonly known as Cabo. This place filled with sunshine and beaches is located on the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Every year, students from universities across the nation gather on its beaches. It makes a perfect five-day getaway.

“A lot of my friends will be in Cabo the same week,” journalism junior Danny Passovoy said. “USC and some other schools where I have some really good friends will all be in Cabo at the same time.”

Puerto Vallarta This beautiful resort city is located on the Pacific Ocean’s Bahía de Banderas. It’s the perfect amount of fun and relaxation.

“Students should choose to go because it is an inexpensive and easy place to go outside of the country,” economics senior Michael Schrob said. “It has beaches, pools and tourist things to keep you busy all week.”

The resorts in this beach city offer an array of activities for all ages. Drinks on the beach

included.

Mexico City One of the most popular music festivals for college students falls over spring break this year. And the best part? It’s in Mexico City.

Electric Daisy Carnival will have four stages with more than 50 artists, DJs and performers in attendance. The only catch is the price — $1,751 for a two-day pass.

Headlining DJs include Kaskade, Axwell, Bingo Players, Flux Pavilion, Avicii, Steve Angello and Krewella.

WILDCAT WEEKEND • 15

Join international refugees for campus citrus harvest

O

CHELSEY WADE

n March 8, students will gather together on campus to collect Calamondin limes with refugees from around the world. The citrus harvest will be a morning of utilizing local food sources and bringing students together with the wider global community.

Participating students will be able to taste and take home some limes themselves, although most of the harvested limes will go directly to the refugees and their families.

“The fruit that grows right here on campus would just fall to the ground after ripening,” said Ty Trainer, an intern for both Linking Edible Arizona Forests and the Iskashitaa Refugee Network, and the organizer of Saturday’s event.

“One of the values LEAF holds is reimagining how the food on campus can be used.”

The event will take advantage of local

food sources by harvesting fruit from one of the 150 species of edible fruitbearing trees that grow on campus. This will be the first year on campus students gather to harvest the Calamondin limes.

A successful community olive harvest on campus in November helped pave the way for more harvests to continue to provide food and resources.

“As human beings coming from backgrounds of different languages and culture, we can connect on food,” Trainer said. “I’m excited about the harvest because the event is communal in nature; it’s welcome for everyone to join.”

People from 18 different countries, from Somalia to Bhutan, are part of the Refugee Network and are among those connecting with campus through sustainable food practices.

“We have the opportunity to create a more sustainable society,” Trainer said.

“Through picking food ourselves locally, we can learn about our own community

and some of the greater issues that bring refugees to Arizona from thousands of miles away. The event opens up dialogue of the value of local food resources.”

The limes have a soft orange center, and their rinds range from green to orange in color.

“They’re a very unique fruit. They almost look like orange grapes,” Trainer said. “One of the things about the Calamondin lime that makes it so unique is that they have an edible rind.

The rind itself is very thin and sweet, and the inside juice is more sour. It’s kind of like nature’s Sour Patch Kids.”

Students are encouraged to RSVP or ask questions about the event on the Facebook page, “On Campus Citrus Harvest!” The harvesters will meet on campus at Palm Road and Second Street on March 8 at 10 a.m.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2014 • PAGE 19 TWITTER.COM/WILDCATSPORTS

UA seeks perfect home mark LUKE DELLA The No. 3 Arizona Wildcats men’s basketball team is almost in the home stretch.

With just three regular season games remaining, Arizona (26-2, 13-2 Pac-12 Conference) has put together one of the strongest résumés in the nation, and a trip to the NCAA tournament as a No. 1 seed is within grasp.

But before it can seal one of its most successful regular seasons, it has one final home test against Stanford (18-9, 9-6 Pac12) on Sunday at 6 p.m. on ESPNU. The UA is 17-0 at home this season.

As of Wednesday, five schools ranked in the top 10 of the AP Top 25 had a perfect record at home: No. 9 Creighton, No. 6 Duke, No. 3 Arizona, No. 2 Wichita State and No. 1 Florida.

But having a perfect record at home won’t guarantee a national championship.

Louisville, the 2012-13 national champion, lost to then-No. 6 Syracuse last season at home on Jan. 19, 2013.

The Wildcats aren’t looking to make their national championship run quite yet.

They’re looking to wrap up one of the four No. 1 seeds, the easiest path to the national championship game. And with four other schools in the AP Top 10 all owning perfect home records, Arizona can’t afford to be one of the schools without it.

With so much parity in college basketball this season, the Wildcats may need to end the season with a perfect home record.

However, Stanford will test them on Sunday.

The Cardinal has put together a nice enough résumé to possibly earn a trip to the NCAA tournament; while it might not go as a No. 1 seed, a victory over thenNo. 10 UConn and a home win on Feb. 22 against then-No. 23 UCLA give it reason to be confident.

With a 9-6 conference record, however, Stanford is in the Pac-12’s bubble group — schools that still have something to prove.

SOPHOMORE GABE YORK guards Cal junior guard Ricky Kreklow during Arizona’s 87-59 win over the Golden Bears in McKale Center on Wednesday. The Wildcats are 17-0 at home and 3-0 since York entered the starting lineup.

As of Wednesday, Stanford, ASU, Colorado and California all had 9-6 Pac-12 conference records. Stanford was sitting at the top of that messy group, but a loss on Wednesday night to the Sun Devils in Tempe, Ariz., dropped it, and it needs to rebound.

As every team has done this year, Stanford will give the Wildcats its best effort. Stanford nearly beat Arizona on Jan. 29 in Stanford, Calif. But this is a different Arizona team, so it’ll be a new matchup. Game plans will be different, and rotations have changed.

In the Wildcats’ first meeting with the Cardinal, Gabe York was coming off of the bench and was limited to five points.

As a team, Arizona scored just 60 points and won the game on its defense. The new Wildcats are even faster and have found a way to use their formerly notorious offense and mix it with a tenacious three-guard rotation.

Arizona’s team has changed, but its home court has not. A home court has always been the keystone to the Wildcats’, and most other

schools’, success.

A national championship won’t be secured Sunday, but the confidence to send their résumé will.

Statistics

-No. 1 seeds’ all-time record in the NCAA tournament is 389-98 (.799 percent).

-No. 2 seeds’ all-time record in the NCAA tournament is 279-112 (.714 percent).

-No. 1 seeds have advanced to the Elite Eight 69 percent of the time.

-No. 1 seeds have advanced to the NCAA Championship 23.3 percent of the time.

-No. 2 seeds have advanced to the NCAA Championship 10.3 percent of the time.

-Since 1985, a No. 1 seed has won the NCAA tournament 15 times.

TWEET TO NOTE

Before he became a college hoops analyst on the CBS Sports Network, Clark Kellogg was a star forward at Ohio State who went on to be a top-10 pick in the 1982 NBA draft, going to the Indiana Pacers.

Kellogg is now also an advisory board member for the Capital One Cup, a competition that determines the best men’s and women’s NCAA Division I programs across the nation.

Capital One will give a combined $400,000 in student-athlete scholarships and a trophy to the victorious schools this summer at the ESPY awards.

Currently, Arizona’s 12 points have earned it the No. 15 spot in the women’s cup standings. The UA is not in the top 19 men’s cup standings.

Kellogg spoke with the Daily Wildcat about his thoughts on the Capital One Cup, Arizona basketball and the Pac-12 Conference heading into the start of March Madness.

Q& A

The Daily Wildcat: The Capital One Cup has become a big deal over the past several years. What’s it like being a part of the advisory board?

Kellogg: Obviously, I’m thrilled about it. …

Capital One wants to shine a light to on-thefield and on-the-court excellence, but also wants to show its support for the great work student athletes do off the court and field as well. … Moving into March Madness, people especially want to follow the standings of the cup.

Arizona men’s basketball has enjoyed a lot of success this season and has consistently remained in the top five. Based on what you’ve seen, how will it fare in March?

They’ve certainly had to change the way they play and win without Brandon Ashley.

But this time the Wildcats should have no problem beating Stanford. The Cardinal lost momentum when it lost at ASU, and that should continue. Stanford will have to go back to California this weekend with two losses.

No. 3 Arizona men’s basketball vs.

Stanford The Wildcats have steamrollered their competition over the past two games, outscoring their opponents by 55, and they seemed to have finally found their groove after the loss of Brandon Ashley. Look for the hard play of the Wildcats’ bench to continue as they wallop the Cardinal.

Arizona 75, Stanford 61

are the only two teams to have beaten Arizona and two of the more confusing teams in the Pac-12 Conference. One game they look like world-beaters and the next like benchwarmers. In a battle of inconsistent teams, I’m taking California to down the devils.

California 86, ASU 78 No. 4 Syracuse at No. 12 Virginia Syracuse might have the best fruit-based mascot in the nation but its basketball team has lost two of three and hits the road to take on the red-hot No. 12 Virginia Cavaliers. This is a late-season trap game for the Orange that might actually turn out in its favor.

Syracuse 64, Virginia 61

California at ASU ASU had a terrible road trip last week, losing to Colorado and Utah, but there is hope for them playing at home this weekend. The Sun Devils have won their last four home games and should be able to continue their winning streak. Like Stanford, the Golden Bears will have to go home with an Arizona losing streak.

ASU 73, Cal 65 No. 4 Syracuse at No. 12 Virginia Virginia has won its last 12 games and should take the win from the Orange. For the Cavs, this could potentially be their second regular season ACC title. This would be the first time in over 30 years they would have that title. With that being said, it should be an easy win for the Cavs.

Virginia 76, Syracuse 70

California at ASU In their loss to Arizona, Cal looked like a bunch of middle schoolers playing in their first pickup game: completely discombobulated. The Sun Devils have also been struggling as of late, but after their huge win against Stanford and Cal’s recent loss against Stanford, ASU will lock up the win against the Bears by the transitive property.

ASU 74, Cal 68 No. 4 Syracuse at No. 12 Virginia After Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim’s ridiculous meltdown last week against Duke, Syracuse seemed to have lost a lot of its momentum. The No. 12 Virginia Cavaliers have won their last 12 games and will overpower the frail Orange late in the game.

… But to the Wildcats’ credit, they’ve found a way to be effective. They have an excellent backcourt with T.J. McConnell and Nick Johnson. … So this is still one of the teams that I think not only has a chance to get to the Final Four, but also cut the nets down and win it.

Obviously, there is a lot of professional talent up and down Arizona’s roster.

Which current Wildcat do you see having the most NBA success?

I love Aaron Gordon’s energy, athleticism and his defensive ability. His offensive game needs some refinement and polishing, as do most college players and certainly freshmen.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is definitely an interesting prospect, Nick Johnson appears to have pro potential and I like Brandon Ashley, even though he’s hurt. I’ve only watched them on television, though, and you can only get 75 percent of your analysis done TV viewing; the other has to be done face-to-face.

You said even without Ashley, the UA still has a good chance to win its second national championship. What’s your main reason it could go all the way?

I really like the guard play. McConnell is not flashy; he’s crafty and effective. Johnson is having an All-American-type season, so that would be the one thing to highlight that could give them a chance.

CBS SPORTS analyst Clark Kellogg likes Arizona’s chances to win a national championship.

The Pac-12 has seen its ups and downs throughout the season. While it’s a pretty strong conference right now, where do you see it in five years?

I would think it will be right there in the top of the heap. It’s cyclical in terms of conference strength. It’s predicated on players, how long they stay and how good they are. … I think the Pac-12 is in a good place and has rebounded nicely from a couple of down years as a league. … I think the Pac-12 will be right there in the top three or four leagues as far as basketball goes.

Red-hot UA softball brings the heat to invite roberto payne

rEbecca Sasnett/The Daily Wildcat

Senior pitcher Shelby Babcock catches the ball after striking out an UTEP player during Arizona’s 11-1 win against UTEP at Hillenbrand Stadium on Tuesday. The UA hosts the Wildcat Invitational this weekend.

Two more non-conference wins has the Arizona softball team off to one of its better starts in recent memory.

No. 14 Arizona (15-1) looks to continue that momentum Friday in a double-header at Hillenbrand Stadium against Longwood at 4 p.m. and Valparaiso at 6 p.m. The games are the first two of five he UA will play during the Wildcat Invitational over the weekend.

The Wildcat Invitational takes place Friday to Sunday and features TexasArlington, Iowa and Indiana in addition to Longwood and Valparaiso.

“Hopefully we keep the energy up and take it one game at a time,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “I know you don’t want to hear that, but that’s kind of the way it is.”

Two more Arizona games on Saturday will give the home fans yet another chance to watch the Wildcats play. Texas-Arlington is first at 4 p.m., followed by Iowa at 6 p.m.

Several of Arizona’s games this season have begun in the early afternoon and concluded in the night. Having so many games near sunset provides a different look of the ball when compared to a midday game. Shadows have to be taken into account but, when looking at batting statistics, that hasn’t affected the Arizona batters.

The Wildcats are near the top of the Pac-12 Conference in several offensive categories such as team batting average

(second), runs (second), home runs (second) and hits (fourth). Take into account that Arizona has already played five games against ranked opponents and the numbers get more impressive.

Leading the Wildcats in home runs, runs batted in, total bases, hits, walks and onbase percentage is redshirt junior shortstop Kellie Fox. Fox, a UCLA transfer, has solidified the middle of the batting order with her ability to drive the ball out of the park and advance runners when she’s not hitting homers.

Hitting out of the three spot is never easy, but Fox said she’s seeing the ball great and loves the direction the team is going.

“It’s a great feeling just to come out strong and see the ball big,” Fox said. “You just have to continue to see it and stay with it as long as you can.”

Arizona’s five Wildcat Invitational games conclude on Sunday at 1 p.m. against the Indiana Hoosiers.

Indiana comes in to the invitational struggling to put runs on the board offensively and unable to keep runs off the board defensively. The Hoosiers have struggled to a 1-12-1 record this season and won’t get a break this weekend, especially against Arizona.

Baseball hosts Big East’s Seton Hall joey putrelo For the first time since 1986, Arizona baseball will play a three-game series against Seton Hall this weekend at Hi Corbett Field.

First pitch Friday will be at 6 p.m.

Saturday’s game was moved to 2 p.m. from 6 p.m. due to weather concerns.

Sunday’s matinee will begin at noon.

The Wildcats (6-2) are currently ranked No. 22 by Collegiate Baseball.

However, they are unranked in the NCBWA, Baseball America and USA Today Coaches polls.

Following a trio of wins where they outscored Alcorn State 37-2, the Wildcats will face a Pirates (4-2) squad that has been off of the diamond since Sunday as well. Weather issues forced Seton Hall to cancel its Wednesday home opener against Lehigh in South Orange, N.J.

In the 2011 NCAA College Station Regional, the UA knocked SHU out of the tournament with a 6-0 win.

Hailing from the Big East Conference, the Pirates have won at least 34 games over the past three seasons. Seton Hall boasts seven-time MLB All-Star Craig Biggio and 1995 American League MVP Mo Vaughn as alumni.

Wildcats senior right-handed pitcher James Farris (2-0) will get the start tonight after tossing a five-hit, 10-strikeout shutout gem against Alcorn State. He will be followed by fellow righty sophomore Cody Hamlin (2-0), who went all nine innings as well but allowed one run to cross last Saturday against the Braves.

Sunday, UA head coach Andy Lopez will likely send out junior southpaw Tyler Crawford (1-1), hoping to get a performance similar to his 6.1 innings,

one-run outing versus Alcorn State.

The Pirates pitching staff will have their hands full all weekend as Arizona comes into tonight’s game with a .359 team batting average.

Catcher Jordan Berger, third baseman Cody Ramer and outfielders Zach Gibbons and Scott Kingery are each hitting over .450 through. Ramer has started all eight games in 2014 and also leads the Wildcats with a .553 on base percentage.

Senior right-hander Josh Prevost (20) is scheduled to start Friday for the Pirates, and junior southpaw Anthony Elia (1-1) is scheduled to start Saturday.

Prevost and Elia have ERAs of 1.80 and 2.25, respectively.

Carlos Herrera/The Daily Wildcat

SENIOR PITCHER James Farris will start tonight against Seton Hall. Farris is 2-0 with an ERA of 0.54 in the role as Friday starter.

This will be Farris’ 35th career start.

Gymcats return home after rough trip matt wall The No. 20 Arizona women’s gymnastics team hosts No. 9 UCLA this Saturday in McKale Center for the first of a three-meet home stand.

“UCLA is a great team to come in and give us that much more motivation,” head coach Bill Ryden said in an Arizona Athletics video previewing the meet.

“I think they will look great. We want to protect our home court, and we are going to do everything in our power to come out with a victory.”

Last week, the Gymcats suffered a 196.125-195.350 loss to ASU in the annual Territorial Cup rivalry meet.

They opened the night on the bars, but dug themselves into a hole very quickly and were never able to find their rhythm.

“We’re looking to basically get back on track and certainly address all of those bar woes and really work on our landings and the stuff that cost us,” Ryden said.

No. 9 UCLA is coming off of a victory against then-No. 12 Stanford last week, where senior Sydney Sawa received a perfect 10 in floor exercise. Overall, the Bruins are 5-2 on the season, with their only losses coming to then-No. 1 Florida and then-No. 4 Utah.

Last year, the Bruins placed fourth in the NCAA Team Finals; they return five AllAmericans from last year’s team. Leading UCLA this year are seniors Olivia Courtney and Sydney Sawa, along with head coach Valorie Kondos Field, who is in her 24th year.

“We’re looking forward to being home,” Ryden — Bill Ryden, said. “Out of our head coach first seven meets, five were on the road. The team loves their home fans and being here, so we’re really looking for a fun and strong march that’s for sure.”

“We’re looking forward to being home. out of our first seven meets, five were on the road.”

Senior guard Kama Griffitts steals the ball during the first half of Arizona’s 61-56 loss to Colorado in McKale Center on Sunday. Griffitts will play her last regular season games as a Wildcat this weekend.

roberto Payne After two more conference losses last week, the Arizona women’s basketball team hits the road to take on the Oregon State Beavers on Friday at 8 p.m. MST and the Oregon Ducks on Sunday at 2 p.m. MST. The Wildcats (5-22, 1-15 Pac-12 Conference) have already locked in the 12th seed in the Pac-12 tournament but still could use all the momentum they can get. A win over one or both the Oregon schools could be a kick starter for the tournament.

Oregon State (19-9, 11-5), which is first on the schedule, defeated the Wildcats 64-50 on Feb. 2 in McKale Center in the first meeting between the teams this season.

Throughout conference play, with the exception of the ASU game, the Wildcats have failed to put together two full halves of basketball on a regular basis. They either play a good first half and a bad second half, or vice versa.

“At times we’ll have really good defensive moment and at times we’ll have really good offensive moments,” senior guard Kama Griffitts said. “We just need to learn to balance them both out.”

Oregon (13-14, 4-12), which is second on the schedule, defeated the Wildcats 84-72 on Jan. 31 in McKale Center in the first meeting between the two teams this season. The Ducks were led by the two-headed monster of forward Jillian Alleyne and guard Chrishae Rowe. Alleyne had 29 points and 20 rebounds and Rowe had 24 points and 5

rebounds.

The Ducks dominate the Pac-12 with 93.3 points scored per game and are near the top of the conference in several other offensive categories, including free-throw percentage and assists.

Stopping their high-powered offense is easier said than done, but it has to be the main priority for the Wildcats.

However, the feasibility of stopping Oregon with only seven healthy players isn’t great, especially considering Oregon regularly plays 10 or 11 total players and thus can always have fresh bodies on the court.

Arizona’s best shot might be to attempt to outscore the Ducks, which is definitely possible seeing as Oregon allows a Pac-12-worst 89.6 points per game. That means many more 3-point attempts than the eight 3-pointers Arizona attempted in the first meeting between the teams.

If Griffitts or redshirt junior guard Candice Warthen can hit a couple shots and get into an early offensive groove, Arizona might be able to get enough offensive momentum to pull out the win on the road.

“We just need to pull ourselves up and together and just stay mentally there,” senior forward Erica Barnes said. “It’s not the end.”
