The Wildcats played a second straight game without their leading scorer Kailyn Gilbert. The sophomore guard sat out due to injury leaving UA with just seven available players.

Courtney Blakely played Gilbert’s role nicely for Adia Barnes, scoring a season-high 24 points. Freshmen guards Jada Williams and Skylar Jones had 14 and 12 points respectively.

Arizona (11-10, 3-6) has a week off before they host rival Arizona State next Sunday.
