The Star's PJ Brown breaks down the matchups, stats and storylines to watch ahead of Thursday's season opener between No. 19 Arizona and NAU.
Probable startersF Cate Reese G/F Nyah Moran Rodabaugh shot 42.3% from 3-point range to place second all-time in NAU history for a single season. The was also good enough for 15th in the nation.Loville was one of the top additions in the off-season for Arizona. She averaged 16.6 points last season at ASU — the second leading scorer in the Pac-12. Her skillset has grown over the off-season as she is driving to the hoop. Loville will be harder to guard as this opens up her outside shot even more.
“Our practices are very loud anyways, we always have music going,” Payne said. “We're going to let them know as much as we can of what that's going to be like, but it's not something that we're going to spend a whole bunch of extra time just trying to simulate that that noise.” “I think with Arizona they've been an established program that has been doing some really great things for the past couple of years. I don't expect them to change that much,” Payne said. “They have a few personnel changes, but as far as just systematically, we know they're going to be incredibly athletic; they're going to score, they're going to pressure us defensively. And you know, they have some very, very talented individual players.
