WILDCATS INSPIRING YOUNG PLAYERS: Arizona's tournament run is fueling young hoopsters' dreams.
“When I grow up I want to be a basketball player that’s why I pay attention to women’s college ball,” Spruill-Friauf said.“After watching a game, I go outside and play basketball," Spruill-Friauf said."And then I come back inside and watch the highlights, and then back outside, back and forth.”“I feel happy and excited but when sometimes I lose, I kind of get mad,” said Steven Pena, 8-year-old at YMCA.
Many of the kids were rooting for the women’s team. Maliyah says her all-time favorite player was the Women’s previous point guard Aari McDonald. Now, as the men inch closer to the championship, the YMCA players have some advice.Those goals are hopefully in the books already for the Wildcats' game tomorrow. These kids will be watching.
