News and notes as No. 15 Arizona prepares to play in the USD Thanksgiving Classic.
After playing their first four games at home, the Wildcats hit the road for the first time this season. They’ll play two games in 24 hours as part of the USD Thanksgiving Classic in San Diego. Arizona opens against Cal Baptist at 5 p.m. Friday, then takes on USD at 5 p.m. the next day.
Barnes grew up in San Diego and attended Mission Bay High School. She plans to spend the holiday with the Wildcats, her parents and grandmother as well as her sister Maisha’s family. Barnes’ parents, Patricia and Bruce, will cater the event. The first road trip of the season is about more than just basketball. The freshmen will learn how to travel, what to pack and what Barnes’ standards are on the road.
Arizona’s freshman star asked UA fans to bring canned goods to McKale Center before Sunday’s game, and they responded. Fans donated 648 pounds of food. “When you have freshmen doing that, I think it’s amazing,” Barnes said. “That’s not for community service; that is their own time. And at a time when there’s a lot of schoolwork and we’re getting ready to travel, it says a lot about those two — who they are and what they want to do. I think that the city and the community should be really proud of them because that’s not something they have to do. I’m proud of them. I love that.
