The UnknownIf you lived on campus as a freshman, odds are you didn’t know your

roommate before the school year started. Sure, maybe you messaged them on Facebook or texted a couple times, but you wouldn’t call them a friend. With a random roommate, you’ve got a clean slate. Since you don’t have a history, you can lay down ground rules without making it awkward.

Sometimes, it’s best to be roommates and nothing more. You’re basically strangers who happen to share a room, and you both respect each other’s privacy and space. If you decide to live on campus again, or need an extra roomie to make rent on a nice apartment, consider rooming with a random. They’re usually not as scary as you might think.

The “Friend”One of the best options is rooming with a friend. Not your best friend,

but maybe someone you know from back home or someone you met in a club here on campus. You’re close enough to be able to talk, but not close enough that you spend every waking minute with each other. In this situation, you know what the person likes and doesn’t like; you try to respect that and they do the same. It’s a great system. And if you have any issues, you still have your bestie when you need to vent for a while.

The Best FriendThis situation will either be really awesome or really, really terrible.

You spend basically every minute of your life talking or hanging out with your best friend. You know everything about each other. You consider yourselves family.

The hitch is that you’re so close, you don’t respect each other’s space anymore. It might start small, like when they help themselves to your food, but it ends with a filthy bathroom that hasn’t been cleaned for weeks, but they promise they’ll “get around to it.” Because they’re your best friend, you don’t want to offend them, but you also don’t want to be stuck cleaning up their mess. It also leaves you with no one to vent to if and when things go wrong.

Things to look out for:The “Friend of a Friend”

If you and your friends are signing a lease and your buddy says, “Hey, I have a friend who will be perfect with us,” make sure to meet them first. Make sure that “perfect” friend isn’t actually all your pet peeves rolled into one, before you’re stuck sharing a living space with them for the next year.

Boyfriend and GirlfriendDon’t do it. Just wait. Seriously, wait another few years. A lot of

sophomores and juniors who’ve been dating someone for a few months or maybe even a year think it’s a great idea to move in together. The permanent sleepover may be a blast at first, but if you’re prone to fighting, it leaves you no space to get away. Even worse, if you break up, you’ll either have to figure out a way to break the lease or spend an uncomfortable few months trying to pretend it’s not awkward.

The best websites you’ve never seen

As the Internet continues to be polluted with unnecessary database sites and dead-end webpages, it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to find anything relevant, reliable or interesting.

Despite the scattered sources of sensationalized websites, there are a handful of pages that aren’t getting nearly as much coverage as they should. From insightful stories to helpful hints, to the command post for all things art, these websites are without a doubt some of the best:

1. www.etsy.comEtsy has been overlooked when it comes to online

shopping. With a focus on handmade and vintage items, this e-commerce website is essential for the creative-minded who are looking to make a quick buck, as well as anyone desiring some individual flair.

Get great gifts for dirt-cheap or browse Home & Living for hand painted pillows and one-of-a-kind wall fixtures. Etsy not only provides you with what you need, but gives various options as well. It’s your best bet when it comes to online shopping.

2. www.thoughtcatalog.comA compilation of nonfiction thoughts and ideas,

Thought Catalog brings together a variety of writers who discuss topics ranging from relationship advice to dealing with rejection to the perfect “Crap, I’m Broke!” grocery list.

Thought Catalog is refreshing and informative; it stays true to cultural relevance and touches upon just about every subject. Sometimes poignant, but mostly hilarious, Thought Catalog is the storyboard mecca of the Internet.

3. www.newsmap.jpWhile many newsprint publications display their

content online in various categories, newsmap takes this a step further by simplifying disorganized information that is spread across the Internet.

Because news is consistently coming from all

angles, whether it’s national, local, sports, or entertainment, society expects everything to be fed to us in a quick and concise manner. Categorized in a way that is both simple and enlightening, newsmap compiles all of this information into colored coordinated categories.

Not only that, but the colors range in hue depending on how recent it is. Stories that are less than 10 minutes old will appear in a bolder format. Headlines range in size to illustrate which article is being given the most coverage. In essence, newsmap brings a sense of organization to otherwise scattered-brained information.

4. www.cupcakesandcashmere.comWhat began as a simple blog full of personal

inspirations has transformed into a website stockpiled with an array of fashion tips and photos. Los Angeles’ beauty, Emily Schuman, is the quintessential girl-next-door and the mastermind behind Cupcakes and Cashmere.

While Schuman’s style is both charming and alluring, it’s the resourcefulness of her website that continues to keep readers coming back. Not only are her outfits easily replicable, but she also includes various tabs of “How To’s” and photo tutorials.

Cupcakes and Cashmere got its name from Schuman’s love for both fashion and food. The website also features enticing displays of recipes and restaurants. All things considered, Schuman is your go-to girl.

5. www.thisiscolossal.comIf Forbes is for business junkies, Colossal is for

art nerds. A complete epicenter for everything art, design, and photography, this website is the digital form of crack. Colossal took root in 2010 when art enthusiast Christopher Jobson explored the world of art to provide mind-blowing images of what humans can create with their hands. Examples include toothpick sculptures, a man who “paints” with fire, and architectural wonders made from discarded wood. Altogether, Colossal is a one-stop shop for inspiration, consistently building a sense of adventure and discovery.

Picking roommates? Heed this advice first

Roommates suck. Everyone who has lived on campus has had an awkward roommate situation at some point — sharing a room the size of a closet will do that. A lot of times it makes you wary of sharing

your space with someone again. So what do you do? Do you risk it again with another random roommate or do you take the plunge and room with your best friend? Before signing your lease for next year, think carefully about which situation you’d rather be in.

In a dark alley in Tucson there exists a monument to wild color, inimitable youth and the enduring soul of the world as seen

through art in the mind’s eye.His name is Joe Pagac. Covered entirely in a

striking smattering of paint, Pagac is a living extension of the work he creates: a colorful disarray that has become the focal point of downtown Tucson for the last three years. For in that once dark alley on the side of The Rialto Theatre , Pagac has been conducting a brilliant visual feat.

The muralist has been working with the Rialto painting a rotating number of murals for the varied shows that pass through it — a massive billboard of art for art. For each of the entertainers inside the theater, there has been a corresponding mural on the exterior wall. Only now is the mural taking on a degree of permanence.

In his final act, Pagac paints the last mural leisurely, decisively and not without a smidge of humor. Really though, LL Cool J riding a shark in the middle of the desert is funny. It is wildly amusing, intriguing — a cohesive collection of memories and colorful images. Featuring an island of the ill-fated 27 Club , a cartoonish car of both local and national music icons, it is charming and exudes a feeling of lasting presence.

With the development of the streetcar and other building renovations downtown, the mural has been resigned to the past. Pagnac said he realizes the demand for constant change

in this day and age. “There is something cool about

looking at something, a painting, from 600 years ago, and being able to see it and know that is

still relevant,” Pagac said. He has been deprived that

timeless feature with his murals on the side of the Rialto, constantly painting over previous

work to feature the new. He said there is a drag on his otherwise enviable job. “It’s not as timeless … itbbeen’d be cool years from now to be able to look back and

have my work preserved in years; that’s sad,” he said.

He said he enjoys the finality in a piece of art, and, as such, Pagac’s current mural will be gracing downtown Tucson for quite some time. Although his physical work has faded beneath layers of impermeable paint, there remains a lasting presence of his colorful image.

The mural exists as an integral part of Tucson, for it has evolved and taken shape with time, reflecting permanence in an otherwise flighty city.

Native to the area, he has remained in Tucson. He enthralls in the people, his home and — in case you haven’t caught on — he instills a vivid arts scene.

“There are really a lot of cool people in Tucson and a lot of people doing really interesting things. Except, everybody leaves,” he said.

Pagac, however, is here to stay. At least in his art.

Pagac, who started painting interior walls of wealthy people’s homes and moved to the bustling streets of greater Tucson, said he never thought he’d be here now.

“I thought I’d sell out, paint what was in other people’s souls; why would I paint what was in my own soul?”

Pagac’s soul can be found reflected, wondrously, on a wall in downtown. There is, after all, a degree of permanence in time.

AUDREY MOLLOY/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT, COURTESY OF JOE PAGACOVER THE COURSE of Joe Pagac’s life in Tucson, the artist has been responsible for the iconic murals that adorn the east wall of the Rialto Theatre. His last piece, a satirical piece depicting LL Cool J riding a shark through the desert, is now on display.

THE JOY FORMIDABLE IS BACK

For all the powerful imagery suggested by the title Wolf’s Law, the best moments on The Joy Formidable’s new album turn out to be its most restrained. A reference to a theory by scientist Julius Wolff that postulates, human bones harden as a response to stress.

The record’s title poses an interesting new potential to explore the fragility often missing from the gigantic sound of 2011’s The Big Roar. Indeed, Wolf’s Law finds singer/guitarist/composer Ritzy Bryan stripping down her songs in the calm orchestral swells that accent her powerful voice on closer, “The Turnaround” and the piano-led hidden track “Wolf’s Law.”

Perhaps the most revealing moment on the album is the sublime “Silent Treatment,” a song that entirely abstains from using the complex textures found on the rest of the album in favor of a single, detuned acoustic guitar.

With nothing more than some chords and a few stray notes to compete with, Bryan creates her most sincere vocals yet, crooning great lines like “I’ll take the easy cynicism, less talking, more reason” and “I’ll take the silent treatment off your hands” with emotive power that would have been lost among swelling strings and amped up drumbeats.

Beyond the sonic minimalism that is featured on Wolf’s Law’s best work, The Joy Formidable also manages to crank up the guitars to evoke a wonderful, weird effect on tracks like album highlights “Tendons” and “Maw Maw Song.” Despite a fuzzy vocoder hook that sounds straight out of Kanye West’s latest album, “Tendons” maintains a beauty that places it comfortably alongside “Silent Treatment.” “Maw Maw Song,” on the other hand, succeeds merely on the merit of its playfulness.

Somehow alternating between fast psych-punk and a massive sludgy hook worthy of Black Sabbath, “Maw Maw Song” is the kind of song that makes you realize just how much The Joy Formidable loves making and listening to music.

In fact, the song is so infectious that by the time Bryan hammers out an insane mathcore solo over the rhythm section’s pounding sludge, the faceless orchestral textures that feature on almost every other song are temporarily forgiven.

While The Joy Formidable is on the whole better known for its gigantic Mellon Collie-

esque textures than its forays into Sabbath sludge, one can’t help but wish the band had ventured out a bit farther with songs like “Forest Serenade” and “The Leopard and the Lung.” Excepting a hook inexplicably lifted from Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team,” a song like “Forest Serenade” is perfectly acceptable as a piece of music, boasting nice lyrics and a typically anthemic vocal from Bryan.

However, when placed alongside tracks like “Silent Treatment” or the frantic post-punk of early highlight “Bats,” the smooth sheen of The Joy Formidable’s sound simply doesn’t seem like enough anymore. Thankfully, Wolf’s Law features enough killer moments to suggest the band has more in store for the future. At this point, though, Bryan and Co. still have some growing to do before The Joy Formidable’s music becomes as solid as its bones.

They say the most interesting musicians are the ones who don’t sit still. Nothing could be truer of Ryne Warner, mastermind behind the Tucson-by-way-of-Portland band OHIOAN.

A random sampling of Warner’s music online can yield anything from roots-country to Swans-like apocalyptic meditations, complete with as much droning and mystical-sounding lyrics as any music fan could hope for. Even Warner himself admits to his creative and personal restlessness, answering a question about the beginnings of the band with the tale of how he walked from Chicago to Portland.

“I started playing in public when I left Chicago, just walking along and teaching myself how to play what songs I could remember from this gospel CD a friend had given me,” Warner said. “The first show I ever played was in this hair salon in Illinois. It was an innocent beginning.”

After arriving in Portland, Warner said that the band consumed his life, crediting his desire to explore every aspect of creating sound and movement as merely “feeding the minotaur. I decided with OHIOAN I would just do any idea that came to me.”

Although vocal about the extent to which OHIOAN’s sound has varied both live and in the studio, Warner maintains a very conscious attitude about his music no matter

what he’s creating. “I’ve always been attracted to the mysticism

of music. Depending on how you look at it, music can either be three chords or it can be magical. I lean toward keeping music more on the limitless side.”

Citing groups like Brightblack Morning Light and Earth as examples of such mystical musicians, Warner said a major turning point for OHIOAN has been the opportunity to tour throughout January as a full band.

“I always want to have a band when I play, because I just hear this full sound in my head. I feel like the solo acoustic troubadour role has been covered by the multitudes, so

it’s just nice to do something more than that,” Warner said.

Ever self-aware, Warner also notes that the experience he’s had with the full band has done wonders for his control-freak tendencies, something he still struggles with when it comes time to make his records.

“I prefer live to making records, because playing live by necessity is this communicative experience, not just with the audience but with the band,” he said. “Playing with these guys gives me moments to relinquish control.”

According to Warner, it shows. Since kicking off its tour at SkyBar a few weeks ago, OHIOAN has been met with “oodles of love” everywhere

they’ve traveled, prompting Warner and his bandmates to want to document the band’s set in a recording studio upon returning from the tour. As far as Warner is concerned, it’s just another phase in the band’s long and evolving journey.

Having been in Tucson for 14 months now, Warner shows every indication of keeping up his musical education.

“OHIOAN is really the only thing I’ve done so far,” said Warner, despite having recorded a remarkable amount of music under the moniker since the late 2000s. In addition to performing live, Warner cites a new full-length record, a country-rock band who “can show up at bars and play John Mellencamp songs all night,” and a full-on drone project as all in his immediate future.

“The second I start exploring new ideas, it’s like looking into the wormhole,” Warner said. “There’s too much sound I want to make to keep it in one place.”

At Nimbus Brewing Company, you’re treated like family.

Found off of 44th Street and Dodge Road, the warehouse is home to 10 vats, a bar, and a restaurant that serves up classic bar fare.

The atmosphere is comfortable and the staff is incredibly friendly. Despite its massive parking lot and the building’s size, it’ll feel like you accidentally stumbled upon a small honky-tonk bar.

If you ask for a tour of the brewery, you’re given a beer to take with you and hopefully, you’re led by the brewmaster, Lija. At first, it’ll feel a little like walking into a secret government facility as you walk through a small gate that blocks off the brewery’s entrance. A sign above states, “Through these gates pass Arizona’s Finest Brewers … and ONLY their authorized guests.”

But while on the tour, you might get to sample beer directly from the vat. Kept at 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the beer is crisp and refreshing.

Lija is an eccentric character, and he says he

drinks all day on the job, but he is also one of the most insightful people at the brewery.

The beers take anywhere from five to 10 days to brew, “from grain to glass,” Lija said.

Nimbus brews eight different beers: pale ale, brown ale, red ale, blonde ale, oatmeal stout, pilsner, a dark beer called Old Monkeyshine Ale, and a seasonal peach ale. Each has its own flavor and the body of each beer drinks differently. The pale ale is Nimbus’ flagship beer; it’s hoppy but drinks smoothly.

The red ale seems more like a classic pale ale, while the brown ale has a much smoother taste to it.

The peach ale is a beer for people who don’t actually like to drink beer. It has a softer, milder taste. After taking the first sip, all you taste is peach and it smells just as good.

The Old Monkeyshine Ale is dark and heavy, contains 8.2 percent alcohol and could be one of Nimbus’s best beers.

The tour is nearly an hour long, but the experience is well worth putting down your PBR or your Miller Lite.

BYOB is the name of the game at the Krazee Chef restaurant, and how convenient is it that a liquor store stands just around the corner?

The once-charming Parisian Cafe, just south of campus and down Park Avenue, is under new ownership. It’s been

revamped for the college scene, in case the discounts for patrons who bring their own booze weren’t enough of a clue.

“It’s a relaxed place to come and hang out with free Wi-Fi, TV and cheap food,” owner Daniel Ortiz said.

For sports fans, a flat screen television is the main feature of the dining room. The restaurant invites Wildcat fans to join them for great discounts on game days. The bold red and black walls, speckled gray tables and floor, and the pool table in the back add to the atmosphere. It’s a “new-age mom-and-pop type shop,” Ortiz said.

Ortiz’s background is in corporate management at Jack in the Box and at a local Chase bank. Executive chef Ryan Jones, the creator of many of the restaurant’s dishes, uses his unconventional approach to cooking as inspiration. It’s corporate thinking and homestyle cooking, Ortiz said — the best of both worlds.

The menu is diverse, with wings that vary from basic barbecue to tequila mango glazed. All burgers are made in-house and cooked to order. The chorizo burger combines ground beef and chorizo topped with bacon and a fried egg. But more popular than the Sonoran hot dogs, cream cheese stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon, and “deep sea” pizza is the “Breakfast of Champs” pizza.

Only the strong should attempt to take this beast on. Instead of red pizza sauce, it’s covered in beans, cheese, eggs and your choice of meat.

Jones’ menu came from bouncing ideas off Ortiz, and was inspired by Tucson’s college atmosphere and Southwest flair.

“I learn by doing and making my own stuff,” Jones said.The menu also includes gluten-free pizza options, as the restaurant

tries to “do a little bit of everything,” Ortiz said.Ortiz takes pride in all of his in-house items, such as beans, rice,

salsa, guacamole and the flautas made from his father’s own special recipe.

“We both care about our food and our customers,” he said.What goes hand in hand with crazy food? Crazy karaoke. Every

Wednesday, you can count on shrieks and butchered melodies emanating from the restaurant. In the future, Ortiz hopes to extend business hours for those students heading home from the bars at 2 a.m. and hungering for something finger-licking good. Ortiz also intends to knock down a couple of walls and build a bar area that features wines and custom brews.

It had the texture of fish and tasted like the baby of a chicken and a cow. It was delightfully smoky and sauteed in a way that disguised that fact that it was a silkworm taco,

served only at Boca Tacos and Tequila. Every Wednesday, Boca serves exotic

tacos like kangaroo, marlin, jellyfish, python and alligator.

Owner and head chef Maria Mazon opened Boca in June 2010, after deciding to close her catering business and open up a physical location. She said she started Boca because of her pride and love for Mexican food.

Mazon perfects the simplicity of the taco; every taco comes with fresh cabbage and homemade guacamole as well as a variety of salsas that include the classic pico de gallo or the surprising banana habeñero. The tacos are all served on plastic cutting boards with your choice of corn or flour tortillas.

The exotic taco meat night was just an idea at first, Mazon said, but because they garnered so much attention, the nights continued.

“Exotic just became an idea,” she said. “It worked for the first month. We needed to draw attention, and not in the

negative way.”Every exotic meat is approved by the

Food and Drug Administration, and it’s always fresh. There isn’t even a freezer at Boca, Mazon said.

Although she takes precautions to make sure she serves only the highest quality meat, there has been much controversy over some of the meats she has tried to serve.

“I respect the animals,” Mazon said. But a few years ago, the restaurant tried to serve lion. After posting about it on Facebook, Mazon received complaints, calls and even death threats. Now if customers want to know what the meat of the week is, they have to call, she said.

Over the years, Boca has served nearly “every single animal testicle there is,” Mazon said.

If the strange meats sound too weird to try, Boca also serves a variety of classic Mexican fare, including a version of the Sonoran hot dog. Every day from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., Boca has a different happy hour special, including $1 Pabst Blue Ribbon beer with $1 carne asada tacos on Thursday and $2 tequila shots on Tuesday.

On the menu next week: cricket tacos.

“Mazon perfects the simplicity of the taco; every taco comes with fresh cabbage and homemade guacamole as well as a variety of salsas that include pico de gallo or the surprising banana habeñero.”

Boca isn’t for the faint of heartWith silkworms and other alternative items on its menu, Boca’s for the most adventurous diners

Three-time All-American Matt Barber will be a driving force for Arizona’s nationally ranked men’s swim team this season and looks to lead the Wildcats to their first national championship since 2008 .

“He’s just a solid guy,” senior Matt Hurko said. “He’s almost like a dad figure on the team. This year has been real good for him. He has been progressing steadily and performed well this winter at short course nationals, so we are looking for some good swims out of him.”

Barber began swimming at a young age, developing a love for the sport and eventually enough passion to join a club team. As his passion and drive grew, his talent developed into skill and he soon became a highly recognized high school prospect.

“He was very headstrong and very determined to succeed,” Kingwood High School coach Brad Quindt said . “He looked at every opportunity to train well and swim well and always rose to the challenge. Overall, he is just a really good team player, and he matured well while at Kingwood High School.”

During his senior year in high school, he won three gold medals in the state championships and was named by the Houston Chronicle as MVP for his swimming performances .

“It was a pretty awesome experience,” Barber said. “Our team was really close together and we were trying to go for the state title that year, but ended up placing second. Regardless, three golds were awesome, and I was really happy with that

meet.”Barber also competed on four junior

national teams throughout high school and was invited to race with the National Club Swimming Association’s All Star team in Dublin, Ireland .

“It was an awesome experience and great international experience in competition,” Barber said. “It’s always going to be a high caliber meet and there is always going to be someone faster than you. You are going to be competing no matter what.”

As his high school career came to a close, Barber had difficulty choosing between Texas, Virginia and Arizona, but his trip here sealed the deal. He immediately fell in

love with Arizona’s team and atmosphere.“I’m glad he chose Arizona,” head coach

Eric Hansen said. “He is a really hard worker, is a leader of our team, and just recently made the US National team, so he has momentum on his side. We are really anxious to see what he can do in March [at NCAA Championships].”

During his first season as a Wildcat, Barber contributed to the team’s overall cause while subsequently earning All-American honors in the 800 freestyle relay .

“It was awesome, a big surprise, I guess,” Barber said. “I wasn’t sure what All-American meant coming in as a freshman, but I’m glad I was a contributor to the team.”

That year at the Pac-10 Championships in Long Beach, Calif., he qualified in the top eight in both the 200 and 500y-freestyle events . He then proceeded to place within the top 35 in the country in the 200 and 500y freestyle and 200y butterfly events at the NCAA Championships .

“I think I still haven’t peaked in my NCAA Championship performances,” Barber said. “I’ve been going up every year though; it’s a work in progress and I hope to improve on that this season and next.”

In his sophomore campaign, Barber showed improvement and began to step up in a key role. At the Texas Invite that year, he posted personal bests in the 500y-freestyle and 200y-butterfly . At the NCAA Championships that March, Barber earned two All-American awards for his performance in the 800y freestyle relay and 500y freestyle event .

“It was better than my freshman year,” Barber said. “I was more of a contributor

to the team. As a freshman I didn’t really know what was going on, I was kind of still getting used to the college atmosphere and the size of the competition. Racing in NCAA Championships is an atmosphere that is completely unique and more powerful than any other meet I’ve swam at — it’s a phenomenal experience. I was pretty

disappointed with my results at my NC’s last year, but I got back in the water and cleaned up a few things, and then trained over the break and had a really good summer.”

This season, Barber looks to embrace his new role as a true team leader. He has already contributed to the Wildcats’ winning ways in many dual meets this season and looks forward to creating a splash as the season finishes off.

“I’m most looking forward to NCAA’s and having a full squad competing for a national title,” Barber said. “I think that’s pretty special and we have a very special group of guys here, and we can accomplish whatever we want to.”

Going for goldJunior swimmer has the chance to lead the Wildcats to their first national championship since 2008

EVAN ROSENFELD

When Arizona hockey faces a familiar foe, the Wildcats will get an opportunity for revenge and maybe a chance at a ticket to the big dance.

Fresh off an important win over No. 5 Oklahoma , No. 18 Arizona (14-15-0) will travel to Lynchburg, Va., to face No. 10 Liberty in a two-game series Friday and Saturday , seeking to solidify a spot in the national tournament and pay back the Flames .

“It’s a big weekend for us; beating Oklahoma was huge … it kept us alive,” head coach Sean Hogan said .

Just two weeks ago the teams faced off in Tucson, with Liberty earning the sweep, 7-6 and 7-5 .

In the first game, Arizona blew a three-goal lead . In the second, the Wildcats overcame deficits twice, including trailing 3-1, but they lost late and surrendered an empty net goal .

“I think personally we’re pretty upset about those two games, but I know the team’s gonna bounce back,” freshman defenseman Bryan Drazner said. “Those two games we had them on the ropes, so I think if we play our game, we can most definitely come out with two wins.”

The Flames (17-9-2) have only played once since the series in Tucson, a 5-2 win over Virginia Tech on Sunday .

Arizona is 2-6 in 2013 , but all of its losses, except a 4-0 defeat to Oklahoma , were by a goal or two, and all were to higher ranked teams . Arizona avenged the OU loss a night later to take the season series from the Sooners .

After wrapping up a 12-game home stand , the Wildcats will go on a seven-game road trip that will take them to Liberty , No. 1 ASU and No. 4 Minot State . Arizona is 0-8 against those three teams this season .

“I think if we get two more wins in this last six, we’re in for sure,” Hogan said. “I think if we win one we have a pretty good shot. If we get a sweep this weekend I think we’re in for sure.”

Arizona needs to be ranked in about the top 18 to make its first

national tournament since 2006 .“Even though we’re only .500, we have a really hard schedule,”

Hogan said.Senior forward Rick Turner leads the way for Liberty with

60 points , and sophomore forward Lindsay LeBlanc has 34 . LU junior goalie Blair Bennett has a 3.00 GAA and a 0.91 save percentage .

Sophomore forward Ryley Egan scored two third-period goals in the 7-6 game . Sophomore forward Luke Baumgarten had a hat trick in the other game.

Hogan isn’t sure yet who will start at goalie, saying it will likely be a game-day decision both games. Instead of the usual two, all three goaltenders will make the trip.

Injuries opened a spot for third goalie to travel, and only 21 Wildcats will go on the trip instead of the usual 22 because of injuries and illness.

Junior Steven Sisler (9-12) was the No. 1 goalie but gave way to sophomore Robert Schultz (3-3) after the first Liberty game. Freshman Dylan Hojnacki (3-0) won the Oklahoma game last week.

“We’re pretty fortunate that we have three goalies playing well right now,” Hogan said.

The Flames play in the LaHaye Ice Center , one of the ACHA’s signature venues.

“It’s obviously much smaller than ours, but it’s packed,” Hogan said. “There won’t be a single seat available, and it will be really loud.”

The LaHaye Ice Center seats 3,000 close to the ice .“Upsetting the home crowd is fun,” Drazner said. “Playing in

those types of atmospheres is awesome.”

The games can be viewed at:www.liberty.edu/index.cfm?PID=21918.They are both at 5 p.m. MST.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 2013 • PAGE 12

Less than a week after the Arizona women’s basketball team (11-6, 3-3 Pac-12) lost to then-No. 21 Colorado by 43 points, the Wildcats will pack their bags and head to Los Angeles to play No. 19 UCLA (13-4, 4-2) tonight.

Arizona was out-rebounded by 25 against Colorado on Sunday. Afterward, Wildcats head coach Niya Butts blamed the loss to the Buffaloes on a lack of physical play.

“Nothing different needed to be said this week to the girls,” Butts said. “They know they didn’t play tough enough.”

UCLA will challenge the Arizona frontcourt, as the Bruins are second in Pac-12 offensive rebounding. UCLA’s 6-foot-3 senior forward Alyssia Brewer is second on the team in scoring, with an average of 11.1 points per game. She also

leads the Bruins on the boards, averaging eight rebounds per game.

“We got to rebound the ball better in order to win,” Butts said.

It will be up to Arizona’s junior and senior forwards Erica Barnes and Cheshi Poston to keep Brewer and UCLA from dominating the boards like Colorado did. Barnes and Poston lead the Wildcats in rebounding with an average of 6.1 and 5.8 rebounds per game, respectively.

Two potential WNBA draft picks will face off in Los Angeles. UCLA’s senior guard/forward Markel Walker and Arizona’s senior guard Davellyn Whyte are two athletes that the opposing coaches must plan around.

“She’s a talented player who looks to get involved early,” Butts said of Walker. “She can step back and hit a shot, but

she’d rather attack off the dribble and be in the paint.”Like Whyte, Walker was a preseason all-conference player

and leads her team in points per game, 12.3, and is second in rebounds, grabbing an average of 7.9 per game. The two are expected to guard one another during the game.

The last time Arizona and UCLA met was last season in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament, with the Wildcats upsetting the Bruins 61-57.

However, UCLA has added depth this season by not only returning four starters, but also having the nation’s No. 12 ranked recruiting class. Guard Nirra Fields leads the Bruin freshmen with 8.6 points per game.

“It’ll be a challenge, but got to stay in front of them [UCLA],” Butts said. “We got to keep them out of the paint and we must give 100 percent.”

Women’s basketball on the road again

‘White-out’ too bright for Wildcats

By now, Arizona fans should be used to seeing the Wildcats start games slow, but was just something wrong about the way they played in the opening minutes.

Arizona (16-2, 4-2) lost its first home game of the season Thursday night , 84-73 , and unlike in games against Colorado, Utah and Florida, the Wildcats were unable to battle back against UCLA and pull out a victory.

“We’ve been there a lot of times,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said. “I don’t know if we ever had that look in our eyes like, we’re here. It never did feel right, the whole game.”

The Bruins stormed out to a 21-5 lead , thanks to 12 missed shots in the first eight minutes of the game , three of which were layups .

“We definitely did miss a lot of easy ones,” sophomore guard Nick Johnson said. “I wouldn’t really say it’s being anxious or preparation or anything like that, we just have to do that better.”

But in typical Wildcat fashion, Arizona battled back to bring the game within 10, 40-30, at halftime . Arizona should have felt fortunate to still be in the game after shooting 31.4 percent in the first half , while allowing UCLA to shoot 56 percent from the field . For the season, UCLA has only converted 47 percent of its shot attempts .

Despite the “white-out” crowd, the overwhelming hype of the game and the daunting task of playing on the road, the Bruins were the better team Thursday night in McKale Center.

Arizona’s 7-foot center, Kaleb Tarczewski, had a total of one rebound and zero points for the game . UCLA’s tallest players, twin forwards Travis and David Wear , scored a total of 21 points and garnered 10 total rebounds . It could have been more had Travis not had to exit the game at halftime because of concussion-like symptoms .

Arizona simply did not shine in the brightest of lights. At home, against a marquee opponent, in front of a sold-out crowd seemingly ready to attack a UCLA player should he have ventured anywhere near the stands, the Wildcats let the

moment overwhelm them. The Wildcats held a 1-0 lead for a whopping

53 seconds to start, before giving up the 21-4 run that took the crowd out of the game while the team attempted to mount yet another comeback.

UCLA head coach Ben Howland acknowledged after the game that he had seen Arizona play Florida, San Diego State and Colorado, all single-digit victories for the Wildcats that were in doubt throughout the game. There would be no such magic against the Bruins.

“It’s nice to get a win, and be the first ones,” Howland said, referring to the Wildcats’ close wins against the aforementioned Gators, Aztecs and Buffaloes.

UCLA guards Shabazz Muhammad and Larry Drew II were seemingly two of the only players on the court who were not affected by the

magnitude of the night, as Muhammad roasted the Wildcats for 23 points and Drew II led the game with nine assists and only turned the ball over twice .

Arizona point guard Mark Lyons had a grand total of zero assists and five turnovers to go with his 16 points , before fouling out late in the second half .

“We never had an answer on how to defend those two players,” Miller said. “It was hard for us to adjust when we got down that big. We needed much more poise.”

That may be true, but Howland illustrated the night more appropriately.

“When the lights are on, the cameras are on, his level of play raises,” Howland said of Muhammad.

The same could not be said for the Wildcats.A nationally televised, sell-out crowd all

wearing white practically begged the Wildcats

to pull out just one more magical win, but they couldn’t do it.

What’s going to happen on March 2, when the Wildcats head to Los Angeles to play the Bruins in Pauley Pavilion in another nationally televised game, this time featured as the college basketball game of the week on ESPN’s College Gameday , in front of what is almost certain to be another sell-out crowd?

As senior forward Solomon Hill put it after the game, “You get a game like this, you want to make the big play. Everybody wants to be the guy to stop that run.”

Against UCLA on Thursday night, no one was able to.

KYLE WASSON/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT AGAINST THE BRUINS, Arizona was unable to come back from a double-digit deficit like it did against Florida, San Diego State and Colorado.

Learning from defeatThe No. 6 Arizona men’s basketball team opened

its game with UCLA Thursday night on a free throw by forward Brandon Ashley ; the 1-0 lead would be the

Wildcats’ last of the night . Poor shooting and stagnant ball movement

contributed to the UA’s second loss of the season, but the mourning period won’t last long, as the

Wildcats take on USC Saturday in McKale Center at 5 p.m .

Even though the quick turnaround should help the players move past the defeat, head coach Sean Miller said he also wants them to learn from the setback.

“What I hope is, by the time we get to Saturday at five o’clock, that this game helps us,” Miller said. “That we learn from it, and that we’re better because we went through it. That we’re not in a negative light where [we say], ‘Uh oh, what’s wrong with us?’ It’s just so hard to win every game.”

Arizona (16-2, 4-2 Pac-12) hasn’t had many lows during the first part of the season. While losses are never welcomed, Miller plans to take full advantage of the situation with an underperforming Trojans team up next.

“When you have a loss sometimes, man, you really can get the attention of your team and everybody associated with what we’re doing,” Miller said, “to really start getting better in these areas — sharing the ball, passing the ball, being more patient, taking what the defense

gives and defensively understanding actually how hard we have to play.”

USC (8-12, 3-4 Pac-12) isn’t the same caliber of opponent as UCLA. The Bruins offense wasn’t the only thing troubling

the Wildcats, though . The UA offense executed poorly and UCLA was able to score with ease through stretches of the game.

The Wildcats had 10 assists, compared to 14 turnovers , with the backcourt duo of Nick Johnson and Mark Lyons only setting up two baskets — and shooting guard Johnson had both of them. The giveaways were also

costly, as the Bruins scored 21 points off of the turnovers.Ball movement wasn’t the only factor in the 11-point

loss . Arizona also shot the ball poorly (38.4 percent) all game and missed several easy shots around the bucket. Miller said the team missed four or five really good shots, which was a big factor during UCLA’s 19-2 run right out of the gate.

“It’s very frustrating, especially in a big game like this,” senior Kevin Parrom said. “Everyone wants to contribute and play well. Sometimes it’s like that; you don’t make the easy shots, but you got to move on to the next game.”

Scoring won’t be as imperative against the Trojans as it was against a top-25 offense in the Bruins. USC ranks 248th overall in points per game with 64.6, and only senior Eric Wise (12.5 ppg) and junior J.T. Terrell (10.1 ppg) average double figures. They can still score when they have the chance, as the Trojans put up 93 points in an overtime loss at Arizona State on Thursday night .

But as senior forward Solomon Hill said, making easy buckets doesn’t just help on the offensive end. It helps keep a player mentally focused on the game.

“When you’re not hitting your shot, it’s kind of hard to be all in on defense at the same time,” Hill said. “When you’re missing easy chip-ins and easy shots, it kind of throws your mind and you lose that defensive focus as well and that contributes to both ends of the floor.”

The second loss of the year doesn’t eliminate Arizona from Pac-12 title contention. Yet another night of the Wildcats committing more turnovers than assists and shooting 5-for-24 from three might make the rest of the season an uphill climb, like the one they faced Thursday night.
