Arizona is back in postseason play for the fifth consecutive season. For the first time it’s the WBIT, which is in its second year as the secondary NCAA-sponsored tournament.

Isis Beh could write a movie script about her college career. It has all the makings of a story that keeps you engaged, starting out with a lot of promise, turning into adversity and finishing on a high note. The sort-of-quick version is that Beh, who is now in her sixth year in college, made the Mountain West all-freshman team at UNLV. Her coach at UNLV, Kathy Oliver, was fired.

Arizona women’s basketball has a little extra incentive in the first round of the WBIT. The No. 2-seeded Wildcats (19-13) are facing NAU (26-7), a team they lost to in Flagstaff back on Nov. 20 – just six games into the season. Both teams look much different now, however that urge to avenge that loss, is still strong for the Wildcats. “That was a really rough game,” Skylar Jones said. “They did us really bad … they manhandled us. But now we get a chance to play them again on our terms, on our turf.
