Tim (Domhnall Gleeson, Bill Weasley from the “Harry Potter” series) is a 21-year-old who doesn’t have much luck with the ladies.

His whole life changes, though, when his father (Bill Nighy) shares with him a family secret: All of the men in the family have the ability to travel back in time. The rules are that you can only travel back to moments in your own life, meaning that there’s no going back and stopping Hitler, unfortunately. Also, you have to go into a dark place. Scoffing at his father’s attempt at a joke, Tim enters a closet and is transported back to a New Year’s Day party, where he kisses a girl he was too much of a wimp to kiss the first time around.

He uses this newfound temporal ability to make his life the way he wants it and moves out of his family’s beachfront house, eventually meeting the lovely, if slightly awkward, Mary (Rachel McAdams). They hit it off on a literal blind date, eating at a restaurant called Dans le Noir, where patrons dine in complete darkness and are even served by the visually impaired. They

start dating; however, Tim comes to learn that having the ability to rewind his life can’t fix all of his problems.

The movie has a great sense of humor, due in large part to its use of Tim’s time-traveling. He is able to go back and do the things that we all daydream about during boring classes: Avoid awkward encounters, deliver that perfectly timed, debonair line and go after the one that got away.

The British ensemble of characters (with the exception of McAdams’ Mary, an American who is inexplicably in London) works very well. Gleeson and McAdams make a couple of goofy best friends, and it’s a nice, light relationship. There’s also an eclectic cast of characters, including a quirky uncle, a sardonically morbid failing playwright and a flower child sister who verges on spinning out of control.

Tim’s only problem is that he’s an average guy. He isn’t going to appear as a shirtless cover model for Men’s Health anytime soon, and he’s just starting out as a lawyer so he’s not some high-profile litigator. He loves his family, especially his sister, Kit Kat (Lydia Wilson).

Though this is a romantic comedy, a genre that doesn’t exactly lend itself to heavy conflicts, there needs to be

something a little stronger than an average guy making his life awesome. Tim is able to live life to the fullest because he knows he gets unlimited do-overs. More serious issues don’t come in until the last third of the movie, and even then they are sorted out relatively quickly. There are definitely some poignant moments, but Tim just has to accept that time traveling can’t fix everything and that some things in life are permanent. In a way, his greatest struggle is realizing that life just isn’t fair, and he concludes that ordinary life can be extraordinary.

I guess the worst thing that can be said about the movie is that it’s a bit too sweet, too delicate and safe. Our main character gets the girl of his dreams, and the two of them never have a falling out. Most of the film is the two of them just having a good time enjoying each other’s company. There’s nothing odd about a sweet romantic comedy, but “About Time” is simply saccharine.

‘About Time’ a sweet rom-com with a twist

ALEX GUYTON

C+

In an effort to spotlight the Native American tribes originating in Southern Arizona, the Arizona State Museum is showcasing Native filmmaking right here on campus.

The museum’s Native Eyes Film Showcase will host a Native short films program at the Center for Creative Photography on Friday. The event will feature 11 short films, and Native filmmakers Melissa Henry and Ricardo Caté will be present to take part in a question and answer session.

The showcase’s origins lie in a Navajo weaving exhibit organized at the museum back in 2003, which showed a single film. Since then, the event has grown each year.

Lisa Falk, director of education at the museum and director of the showcase, said the event is a unique way to bring Native stories to the Tucson public.

“The [showcase] is a place where Native stories can be told through Native peoples — through their vision, their understanding, their direction, their lighting, their acting,” Falk said.

Though only short films will be shown this Friday, they offer a wide array of genres and stories. “In Search of the World’s Best Indian Taco” features a grandfather telling his grandson about his hunt for true love, while in “Interview with Einstein,” children interview their dog after learning he has the ability to speak to humans.

Although the majority of the works are live action, there are also some animated films on the slate. “The Visit” has a Cree family engaging in a wordless conversation, while “Black Cat in Space” puts Captain Meow and his robot companion CuA16 on center stage as they venture across the galaxy to thwart a planet-eating monster.

These various bite-sized stories offer a more light-hearted spin on Native cultures and stories, according to Falk.

“Some of the other films … deal with some of the heavier issues in Indian country,” Falk said. “They deal with alcoholism; they deal with abuse; they deal with politics and some of the really heavy stuff that’s going on there. But when you get to our shorts program, it’s just a sweet slice of life.”

Lisa Palacios, a graduate student of American Indian studies, works as an

education intern at the museum under Falk. A member of the Tohono O’odham tribe, Palacios said she believes that the showcase and the museum are in a position to educate those who may not usually consider watching Native American films.

“Right offhand, you’re going to think, ‘Oh, hold up, Native American’ … and, ‘I’m not going to relate to it,’” Palacios said.

Palacios said she saw “Winter in the Blood,” which was presented as part of the showcase at the Loft Film Fest last weekend. Though the narrative is told through the eyes of Virgil First Raise, a Native protagonist, Palacios said she felt that the film transcended its influences.

“It was just a story being told that could be told by an array of people,” she said. “You didn’t have to be Native American to have that story; you don’t have to be Native American to tell that story, to relate to it.”

This appeal extends beyond “Winter in the Blood,” as many, if not all, of the films showcased are relatable on a simple, human level, Palacios added.

“These stories aren’t specific to Native communities and Native peoples,” Palacios said. “They’re universal.”

Whether you got a small bonus this month or you’re attempting to have a little fun on a tight budget, Tucson provides plenty of activities for just under $20. Thankfully, we live in a city where treating yourself doesn’t have to include dropping half your last paycheck at a sub-par club in the city, or shelling out a crisp Jackson just for a cab ride (here’s looking at you, New York). So if you’re looking to break up the monotony of your usual weekend activities, try one of these for under $20 .

Tucson Museum of Art / $5 (with student ID) , free on the first Sunday of the month

Take the afternoon to visit the Tucson Museum of Art, an enlightening place that is full of art from various heritages and cultures. TMA showcases a variety of different works of art, with this month’s exhibits including “A Show

of Hands,” Bob Kuhn’s “Drawing on Instinct” and “Rock/Paper/Scissors.” Each exhibit is sure to entertain just about everyone, and would make for a fun date idea or spur-of-the-moment afternoon field trip. 140 N. Main Ave., tucsonmuseumofart.org

Club Congress / Admission varies Because Club Congress is a

smaller, more intimate venue, few of its shows cost more than $20 for a ticket, and free shows are offered at least once a month. As long as you keep your bar tab in check, Hotel Congress will almost always promise a memorable and inexpensive experience with good music and even greater company. 311 E. Congress St., hotelcongress.com

Mt. Lemmon Scenic Byw ayThe only cost for this casual drive

is gas money, a Red Bull or two, and maybe some IHOP after the trip. Mt. Lemmon is easily one of Tucson’s most-visited attractions, with the

promise of hiking, sightseeing and homemade fudge when you reach an elevation of 8,200 feet . This byway will take drivers through hairpin turns that offer incredible views of Tucson and the surrounding area. Stop at one of the many turnouts to take pictures or to let a friend unload their car sickness. Either way, the Mt.

Lemmon Scenic Byway is a great way to forget about Tucson city life for a while.go-arizona.com/Mt-Lemmon-Scenic-Byway

Tucson Botanical Gardens / $12 (with student ID)

Arguably one of the best botanical

gardens in the U.S., this attraction is a staple of the Tucson sightseeing scene. With more than 10 different gardens and tours offered throughout the day, the Tucson Botanical Gardens play to your nature-loving side. Take advantage of the expansive Butterfly Garden, or step into the Backyard Bird Garden to catch a glimpse of cardinals, hummingbirds or quail . Experience these exhibits at any time, as the museum is open seven days a week, year round. 2150 N. Alvernon Way, tucsonbotanical.org

Golf N’ Stuff / $8.5 0Golf N’ Stuff will bring back a

wave of nostalgia as soon as you step through its large, castle-themed doors. The traditional mini golf setup you played as an 8 year old might have included meager decorations and no more than three holes per round, but Golf N’ Stuff is a fairytale-themed, 18-hole golf course with charming castles, houses and statues. For just $9.50 more , consider the All Park Pass, which also includes arcade games and a choice of bumper boats, go-karts or laser tag. 6503 E. Tanque Verde Road, golfnstuff.com

What’s your favorite drink to make?

Probably an old-fashioned. I feel like it’s simple and you can still taste the booze. It accents the flavor of the rye whiskey.

Least favorite drink to make?Probably the Long Island Iced Tea.

I feel like it’s generic. There are a lot better cocktails out there.

Who’s your most memorable customer you’ve served?

I really like my regulars. Guys and girls that come in on a regular basis and I know what they want. I don’t even have to ask them what their drink order is. I can make it for them and set it down in front of them.

They’re appreciative of it, that they didn’t even have to tell me what they wanted to drink.

What is one of the strangest, weirdest things you’ve seen?

Lots of male nudity when guys get drunk. It’s interesting.

As a customer, if I want to piss you off as a bartender, what do I do?

Snap your fingers. Never snap your fingers at the bartender. I will make sure you get served absolutely last, for sure.

On the other hand, what can I do to make your job easiest?

Just know what you want when the bartender walks up to you. Know

what you’re getting. … If you’re a bartender, you’re busy, and you walk up to a customer, and you know you’ve made eye contact with them a couple of times and they obviously are trying to order a drink, and then they’re like, “Oh wait, what did you want? I’m not really sure yet.”

You’re like, “Aargh!” You have to walk away and go serve somebody else and come back to them later.

What is one drinking trend that you’d like to see go away?

Jäeger bombs. Any Red Bull bomb. It’s like, c’mon. I just think they’re disgusting, I just think they’re gross. They just taste bad.

TUCSON GETS RAWAnnual awards show returns to Hotel Congress this weekend to honor independent

artists across multiple platforms, genres

This weekend, basement-bound and self-made Tucson artists will share their talents in the city’s semifinal round of this year’s RAWards

show, an annual indie art showcase that aims to shine the spotlight on underground artistry.

RAW is an independent arts organization that features artists on both the local and international levels. An annual RAWards competition is held in more than 80 cities across the U.S., where underground artists can compete in the categories of art, fashion, music, film, hair, makeup, photography and performing art.

On Friday, RAW will announce the winners of the Tucson semifinals in each category, who will then move on to the national competition.

“They all are the best of the best in their categories, and they deserve to be honored,” said Laura Fischer, event director for Tucson RAW artists. “It’s going to be amazing to see the best artists come together in this

showcase.”Fischer said this year’s RAWards

began in March, with shows conducted every three months leading up to the Friday semifinals.

The Tucson judges have narrowed down the competition based on criteria including creativity, originality, professionalism, the “wow” factor and quality.

Musical semifinalist Sock!Fight made its debut as a band at RAW one year ago and has since solidified its standing in the underground music community.

“We all bring a little something to the table,” said Uma deSilva, lead vocalist and keyboardist of Sock!Fight. “People usually tend to remember something about us, which is fantastic.”

Since forming in May 2012, Sock!Fight has drawn musical inspiration from bands like the Pixies and Berlin. Without binding themselves to a specific genre, deSilva said the band members’ sound leans toward “aggressive, indie, dance, pop rock.”

DeSilva said the band takes artistic

lessons from the variety of unique artistic work presented during each showcase.

“We try to take away a little bit of this and a little bit of that from everything we see,” she said. “We love hearing what [bands] are doing with the same set of notes and the same set of instruments.”

Sock!Fight made it to the RAW semifinals competition last year and has since been able to network and meet other underground bands.

“We had no idea how that happened,” deSilva said. “Every time, it’s a surprise, and every time, it’s a delight.”

DeSilva added that the band sees RAW less as a competition and more as an opportunity to perform its music and network with a like-minded crowd.

“What I like is that fact that you’re not performing because of a competition, but because it’s a show,” deSilva said, adding that the competition is simply a bonus to the event as a whole. As she prioritized performances and put awards and recognition on the back burner,

deSilva said she didn’t even remember she was participating in a competition until voting rolled around.

But the awards show this weekend isn’t only geared to music. Alyssa Burton won Makeup Artist of the Year in Tucson’s RAW semifinal last year, and has since seen a growth in her artistic recognition and professional career.

“It really progressed my makeup career,” Burton said. Burton is now a freelance makeup artist and teaches classes at a salon in her free time.

Although Burton has been practicing her makeup skills for at least 10 years, she said she has been actively pursuing her art in a more professional capacity for the past three years.

“Makeup really gives me a chance to connect with my creative side,” Burton added.

Burton studied under Rudy Miles, a leading makeup artist, at the Aveda Institute in Tucson in 2012, and she then decided to compete in RAW.

“I really didn’t know what to expect when I was jumping into it,” she said.

Among the other semifinalists in

the competition is Jenny Hermalik, the fashion designer behind Heart Strings Couture, who began pursuing her career five years ago. Hermalik said she never dreamed that she would be able to make a career out of her passion for fashion.

“I was kind of trapped in that mindset of, ‘Well, that’s a really big dream,’” Hermalik said. “But instead of saying, ‘Why me?’ I started saying, ‘Well, why wouldn’t it be you?’”

Hermalik’s work has been compared to that of Betsey Johnson, as she uses bright colors and prints and experiments with “exuberant, whimsical, elaborate” pieces.

The designer added that the show this weekend will allow participants to be much more creative than other venues where their work has been displayed.

“It was my first runway show where I knew I had complete freedom,” Hermalik said, “[RAW] is by far my favorite out of all the shows I’ve done.”

When Oktoberfest failed to produce the donations needed to fund the annual Kids & Cops Christmas event, police officers racked their brains to

create a way to raise money for the charity event. And thus, the Tucson Police Officers Association Battle of the Bands was born.

The annual Oktoberfest Tucson, set to run last month, was cancelled in late September after the event failed to attract enough corporate sponsors.

Michael Miller, a police officer and representative of the TPOA, suggested the Battle of the Bands to raise money for the Kids & Cops Christmas event, as $8,000 to $10,000 would usually come from Oktoberfest.

At the Kids & Cops Christmas event, police officers take underprivileged Tucson children shopping for up to $100 in Christmas presents at the SuperTarget on Oracle Road. The event is estimated to benefit as many as 300 children annually.

“It’s really nice because kids get to pick out what they want,” said Stephen Parker, a Tucson police officer. “They know exactly what they’re getting for Christmas, and you know they’re going to like it.”

All of the proceeds from this weekend’s

TPOA Battle of the Bands will help fund the Christmas event.

The battle will feature five local bands at Fox Tucson Theatre, including Broken Romeo, Fatal Funnel, The Day On Fire, Southern Reins and Funky Bonz. Miller said the event will include bands from all different genres, such as country, funk,

hip-hop and alternative music.“It was just kind of a basic idea at first, and

it just kind of exploded on us,” said Miller, who will be playing in the show with his band, The Day On Fire.

The band was solidified in late July of last year, and has since played its Southern- and country rock-inspired music at clubs and

bars around Tucson.Parker, who is also guitarist for Fatal

Funnel, said he’s looking forward to a night of good music and friendly competition on Friday. In the past, Fatal Funnel has opened for bands like Awolnation, Everlast and Alien Ant Farm. Parker said the event will be a switch because his band typically plays at smaller venues.

Officers said they are excited about performing at the Fox Tucson Theatre and about bringing in community members to help the cause.

“I’m looking forward to performing,” Miller said. “Just to be in there with friends and family and a lot of community … that’s what we’re looking forward to.”

Few Tucsonans have been lucky enough to miss out on the aggravation associated with parking downtown on a weekend. Streets are filled with lines of bar-goers and various food

trucks, while roads are blocked off for special events and traffic is backed to Fourth Avenue. But that’s all about to change.

Saturday, members of Living Streets Alliance, the Sustainable City Project and the UA College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture are encouraging the community to take back Tucson’s street space.

“We wanted to implement a project that would allow people a location to gather and develop community and have an opportunity to have a real conversation about our streets and our public space,” said Linda Samuels, project director for the Sustainable City Project.

Following the lead of Rebar Art & Design

Studio in San Francisco and similar events in many other cities throughout the country, Tucson is adapting a nationally celebrated event called Park(ing) Day.

“We want to bring some designs to downtown. We believe that the architects and landscape architects and planners should have a high bar for this design downtown,” Samuels said. “We didn’t say it had to be expensive, but it had to be beautiful.”

Beginning Saturday at 8 a.m., a team of 10 people from CAPLA, along with volunteers from LSA and SCP, will transform parking spaces downtown into green spaces called “parklets.” These parklets are mini, interactive parks designed to give patrons a place to rest or participate in activities, according to Bernardo Teran, a design team member and architecture senior.

“The idea is to bring to attention to what can happen in the confines of the parking space, what activity can happen within this parking space, what can promote sustainable means

of transportation — such as bicycle riding and walking, instead of being so dependent on cars,” Teran said.

The teams have created structures from reused oriented strand board wood, AstroTurf, chalkboards and pallets to construct a theme similar that of the Warehouse Arts District, said Cesar Rodriguez, a member of the Park(ing) Day design team.

“What we’ve created is sort of this dynamic mound of pallets to sit down and lay down,” Rodriguez added. “People are going to be able to sit down on these different types of pallets and observe what’s happening.”

Over the past few weeks, students and volunteers worked to create pallets that serve as visual and interactive attractions for the community.

“This is definitely … a movement that’s growing,” Rodriguez said. “It’s something that everyone can do, and we, as a college, decided to take on this task.”

The event is happening in collaboration with the Greater Arizona Bicycling

Association’s Fall Bike Swap Meet. It will also include participation by local businesses Exo Roast Co. and Tap & Bottle, as well as a DJ.

In addition to the displays made by volunteers, Park(ing) Day will feature an interactive “Build Your Own City” model in which passersby will be able to create their own parklet using Legos.

“With everything that’s been happening in the past half-century, and everyone being dependent on cars, we felt this was really important,” Teran said.

According to Teran, the goal for LSA, SCP and CAPLA is to encourage Tucsonans to share their streets and continue to go green.

“It’s important for people to reimagine what spaces can be,” Rodriguez said. “There’s

density issues with how the city has become this urban sprawl mecca. … It’s important for people in the city to reimagine the existing and what it can become.”

PHOTOGRAPHER NAME/THE DAILY WILDCAT LEAD IN STYLE CUTLINE Eraessed mod elit, summodolor sequip enibh ex ea facidunt volorem zzrit vulla faccum ver senis nim augue facidunt accumsan veliqui tion Icitae endus dolupidestis maximus dolor solorro

GIVING UP THE DEEP BALLWe’ve said this every week, but let’s try this

again — maybe with more emphasis this time. Arizona will lose if its defense continues to give up deep touchdown passes, especially early in the game.

Last week the Wildcats lost by five points to nationally ranked UCLA . Lots of things can happen in the course of a game, but one would think that if Arizona hadn’t given up the 66-yard touchdown pass on the first play from scrimmage , it might have won.

Washington State has an Air-Raid offense. It will throw the ball close to 80 times a game. The Cougars’ offense averages the seventh most passing yards per game in the country, at 365 . Their game plan will be to run past and throw over the Arizona defensive backs.

DON’T PRESSURE THE QUARTERBACK

Once again, the defensive line must put pressure on Cougars’ quarterback Connor Halliday — but also sack him. Against UCLA, the Arizona defense pressured quarterback Brett Hundley but wasn’t successful enough to bring him down. While Halliday is not as mobile as Hundley, the defense’s inability to

actually sack Hundley allowed him to escape the pocket and find open receivers. Not giving up the deep ball starts with putting pressure on the quarterback so he is uncomfortable and has less time to throw.

NO RHYTHMArizona’s offense is at its best when it’s

quickly gaining yards and snapping the ball in under 10 seconds. Choppy, inconsistent and short possessions are bad for any offense, but especially Arizona’s, since the base of the offense relies on rhythm and playing in space.

Arizona hasn’t shown that consistent fast pace in the last two weeks. Right out of the gate, the Wildcats will need to knock Washington State back on its heels, or else they could find themselves playing catch-up.

REDEMPTIONLet’s face it: Last week’s game against UCLA

was brutal.There is no way the Arizona Wildcats want

a repeat of a loss like that. The football squad surely practiced extra hard this week and studied film exhaustively.

The Wildcats will win this Saturday against the Washington State Cougars because they want to. They don’t want to embarrass themselves — they want to redeem themselves.

Simply put: The Arizona Wildcats want this win.

WATCH OUT FOR DEFENSEWashington State is leading the league with

20 interceptions thrown. This will be the Wildcats defensive squad’s

time to shine.Arizona can take the W if the defense shows

resilience and puts pressure on Washington State’s junior quarterback, Connor Halliday , forcing him to throw picks.

But Arizona can’t just force him to throw interceptions; it needs to capitalize on them.

SECURE THE LEADIn order to win this one, the Wildcats need to

score early and score often. In all of Arizona’s wins this season (save against Colorado, where it trailed the Buffaloes by a field goal ), it has gained the lead early and maintained it throughout the game.

Once Arizona falls behind, though, it can’t seem to catch up (See: UCLA). In fact, in two of the Wildcats’ three losses this season, they didn’t obtain the lead at all — and in the third, which came against UCLA, their early three-point lead lasted all of one play. Scoring on that first drive is crucial for the Wildcats to gain momentum early. Senior quarterback B.J. Denker once said the tone of the game is set by that opening drive .

Therefore, the Wildcats cannot fall behind Washington State by more than a field goal. But if they can score first and gain the cushion of a lead, then the game is theirs for the taking.

Arizona returns to winning ways at homeArizona (18-9, 8-7 Pac-12)

bounced back from its previous home loss against Washington and swept Utah (17-10, 6-9 Pac-12) in three sets (25-16, 25-18, 25-16) on Thursday night at McKale Center.

Arizona’s offense was solid throughout the match. The Wildcats hit .306 and the defense held Utah to .077 attack efficiency.

Head coach Dave Rubio said he was pleased with the way the Wildcats executed on the court.

“After Sunday night’s match it was nice to come back and play a little bit cleaner and better,” Rubio said. “I was pleased.”

Sophomore Halli Amaro led Arizona in the match with 12.5 points. Amaro finished with eight kills and a .615 hitting percentage. She also contributed seven blocks for the night.

Freshman setter Penina Snuka finished with 30 assists and nine digs, one dig away from recording another double-double on the season.

“Penina in general was really good,” Rubio said. “She’s hard on herself; she’s got super high expectations and I try to talk her through those things and relax her

as much as I can. She’s such an exceptional competitor.”

Amaro and Snuka connected throughout the night to contribute to Arizona’s sweep.

The “signature set” that the Wildcats have been working on the whole season came together Thursday night.

“Halli and Penina have connected much better,” Rubio said. “The beginning of the year, it was really hard for Halli to connect with [Snuka].”

Amaro said he was pleased by the way she and her teammates performed coming back from Sunday’s upset.

“We really came together as a team,” Amaro said. “We talked a lot and I think that this weekend it showed that we’re making steps into the right direction.”

Arizona rolled through the first set as junior Taylor Arizobal began her night with two straight kills, helping Arizona begin the set with a 4-2 lead.

Arizona was able to keep the lead throughout the entire set and won it 25-16. Utah took the lead during the second set, but it didn’t take Arizona a long time to catch up. After back-and-forth play, Utah was leading Arizona 15-14 and the Wildcats went

on a timeout. Arizona was able to regain its

momentum after the timeout, taking the 20-16 lead and only allowing Utah to score two points. Arizona took the set 25-18.

During the third set, Arizona hit .186 and the defense held Utah to .085.

Junior Jane Croson had five

kills for the set, which helped the Wildcats win it 25-16.

“I know how good Utah can be and I was relieved at the end of the game that we were able to win,” Rubio said.

Arizona has a short two-day break before it takes on Colorado for the second time of the season. Colorado defeated the Wildcats in three sets

(25-18, 25-19, 25-23) on Oct. 25.The Wildcats will host the

Buffaloes on Sunday at 2 p.m. at McKale Center and on the Pac-12 Networks.

Arizona women’s basketball takes to the road as the team heads to UC Santa Barbara to face the Gauchos on Saturday at 3 p.m. The Wildcats (0-2) are coming off two consecutive overtime losses against Iona and Michigan last weekend at the Iona Tip-Off Tournament. The team will play for its first win of the season.

UA junior guard Candice Warthen is off to a strong start this year after sitting out all last season with a knee injury.

“If anything, my role has gotten bigger,” Warthen said on Pac-12 Conference media day. “I feel as if I can do the same thing that I did before I left — and maybe even better.”

Warthen has backed up her talk with her play on the court. The 5-foot-5 guard is averaging a team-high 42.0 minutes per

game and is leading the team in points per game (21.5), assists per game (6.5) and steals per game (3.0).

UC Santa Barbara (1-0) is coming off a win against Occidental College in which senior guard Nicole Nesbit led the way with 17 points, six rebounds and six assists. The Gauchos will have a considerable size disadvantage, as only two of the nine players on their roster are over 6 feet. By comparison, eight of the 12 players on Arizona’s roster are over 6 feet.

That size advantage is key for an Arizona team that has struggled to rebound in the early part of the season. The Wildcats have been outrebounded by an average of 10 rebounds per game this season.

“We know that we have to step up,” said freshman guard Ashley Merrill.

No Arizona player is averaging more than six rebounds per game. To put that

into perspective, 10 of the other 11 Pac-12 schools have at least one player who averages seven rebounds per game.

The Wildcats are also tied for 11th place in the Pac-12 in rebounding offense with 32 rebounds per game — that’s 27.5 fewer rebounds per game than Oregon, which leads the Pac-12 with 59.5.

“A lot of times, we do a great job on first shots,” said UA head coach Niya Butts. “What we have not done well is finishing the play with rebounds.”

Arizona’s next game after this weekend is on Wednesday at home, as the Wildcats take on Stephen F. Austin at 7 p.m. The game will be streamed on pac-12.com.

wildcat weekend • 15game day • FRiday, nOVemBeR 15, 2013

Regionals just one step toward nationalsThe Arizona men’s and women’s

cross country teams will compete in the NCAA West Regional Championships today in Sacramento, Calif. The unbeaten No. 1 women’s team will take seven runners and one alternate to the meet, and the men’s team will take six runners.

For the w o m e n ’ s team, this regional meet is the last step toward national competition.

“Really, on the women’s side, the only goal heading into this race is to qualify for nationals,” said assistant coach Mo Huber. “In the big scheme of things, we have enough points to make it there. We can come in fifth [place] and still make it there. It’s just a matter of going out and being able to run conservatively.”

Elvin Kibet, Erin Menefee, Stephanie Bulder, Nicci Corbin, Hanna Peterson,

Kayla Beattie and Maria Larsson will run for the women’s team. Molly Callahan will be the alternate. The top five out of the seven runners will be scored.

“It’s really a group effort,” Huber said. “Really, we’re going to count on

our fifth runner, so it’s whether H a n n a P e t e r s o n , S t e p h a n i e B u l d e r or Erin Menefee — every single role on the team is important,

so it’s not just one particular person that will make or break the team.”

The Arizona teams will face Oregon, Washington, San Francisco, Stanford, Boise State and ASU, among others.

“It’s just a ranking, and going into this weekend, I think the girls just want to go and get the job done,” Huber said. “Go and qualify for nationals, and that’s the goal: looking ahead and seeing what they can do Nov. 23.”

Corbin said that the team will focus

on the race at hand, but that making it to nationals would be ideal.

“We’ll just go out there and have a good race and have some fun and keep nationals in mind,” Corbin said.

Running for the men’s team will be Kenji Bierig, Sam Macaluso, Thomas Valente, Dylan Hopper, Jonas Legernes and Collins Kibet.

“On the men’s side, it’s a little bit different, because they don’t have enough points to qualify for nationals,” Huber said. “This will be a good opportunity for them to go against some great teams and hopefully sneak in.”

The men’s team is ranked No. 14 in the NCAA West Region and faces a tough conference with five men’s Pac-12 teams holding a spot in the national poll, including three top-10 teams. Colorado holds the No. 1 spot in the country, with Oregon holding No. 4 and Stanford rising to the No. 6 slot.

The NCAA Championships will begin on Nov. 23 in Terra Haute, Ind.

After recently facing elite teams like No. 7 Delaware, No. 6 Oklahoma and No. 2 Minot State, Arizona hockey’s schedule will ease up a bit with a weekend home series against Long Beach State.

Head coach Sean Hogan even lightened practice Wednesday, letting his players go home early after doing some playful scrimmaging with the coaches. Hogan strapped on pads and a helmet and scored a goal on assistant coach John Watanabe.

“I just stood there and took in the glory,” Hogan added about his goal, arms up in the air with an ear-to-ear grin on his face.

The Wildcats don’t get much of a break during the season.

“We haven’t had a weekend off since the end of September,” Hogan said. “We’ve played every weekend, and we’ve played a lot of tough opponents in a row. In tough times, you just need a day to get together as a team and have some fun. The guys got to see the coaches in a different light, too. Thursday’s practice will be intense again, though.”

The 49ers (5-7-1) are the second of three ACHA Division II programs the No. 12 Wildcats

(8-8-0, 3-3 WCHL) will face this season. To open the 2013-14 campaign, Arizona swept its other Division II opponent, Northern Arizona University, up in Flagstaff, Ariz., and defeated the IceJacks at the Tucson Convention Center 3-2 in late October.

The hockey games this weekend won’t collide with the schedules of UA football and men’s basketball. Last week, the Wildcats basketball squad hosted its regular season opener Friday and the following night was the Homecoming football game at Arizona Stadium.

The UA football game this weekend kicks off at noon, so fans will have time to go to the hockey game afterward, at 7:30 p.m.

Fans that come out to the TCC tonight can take advantage of $1 Hot Dog Night for the third consecutive week, and Tucson Soccer Night as well.

“I’m a big soccer fan, and I played for my high school freshman year until I got injured,” said junior forward Michael Ferreira. “My favorite team is Real Madrid because I am Portuguese and [Cristiano] Ronaldo is unbelievable to watch.”

Freshman Garrett Patrick is expected to get the start in net for Arizona tonight, but he has

been battling strep throat this week. If he is unable to play, senior Steven Sisler will have to fill in.

The Wildcats will also have to go the weekend without their captain Ansel Ivens-Anderson, who has been hampered the past few weeks by a high ankle sprain.

“We’re going through a rash of injuries and sickness right now,” Hogan said. “It’s just that time of the year.

Saturday attendees will have a chance to lace up a pair of skates and go out on the ice to mingle with Hogan and the Wildcats. The event

will last about an hour after the game.“It’s really great when the fans can come out

and interact with us; that’s probably what I’m looking forward to most about it,” said junior defenseman and assistant captain Shane Gleason about the promotional event. “When you can put a smile on a kid’s face, it just kind of reminds you you’re out there playing for something bigger than yourself.”

NUMBER OF THE DAY

24 Arizona men’s basketball committed 24 fouls in its 69-60 win at San Diego

State. Freshman forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson fouled out with 5:07 left. Four other Wildcat big men finished the game with four fouls. The Aztecs were whistled for 17 fouls and only had one player commit four or more fouls.

Playing in foul troubleArizona (3-0) might not have depth in number of bodies, but

its bench players can play at multiple positions. Thursday night, they used that depth to defeat San Diego State 69-60.

UA forward Aaron Gordon started strong but found himself in foul trouble, along with starting power forward Brandon Ashley , starting center Kaleb Tarczewski and starting shooting guard Nick Johnson. Head coach Sean Miller had Rondae Hollis-Jefferson to bring off the bench though.

The versatile sixth man came off the bench and filled in for the players in foul trouble. The freshman scored seven points and grabbed five rebounds . Most importantly, he played strong defense.

Defense The Aztecs love to run and have one of the best transition offenses

in the country. But the Wildcats’ defense contained SDSU by getting back on defense and grabbing rebounds.

Aztec forward Josh Davis’ baseline presence made him a highly touted recruit this off-season after he decided to transfer from Tulane .

Thursday, Arizona held Davis, who was eighth in the country last season in rebounds, to two points and four rebounds .

ReboundsIn order to run the court, you must rebound the ball. The Wildcats

prevented the Aztecs from doing that with excellent second-chance offensive rebounds.

Arizona finished the game with 39 rebounds , but more impressively 13 offensive rebounds .

The UA scored 12 points on second-chance opportunities .

WHAT WENT RIGHT:

FoulsIt’s going to take time, but the quicker Arizona can get used

to the new hand checking foul, the better. Thursday, the UA was clearly plagued and frustrated by the new rule.

While Gordon had a fantastic start to the game, making his first five baskets and scoring 12 points out of the gate , he found himself in early foul trouble and had to spend some time on the bench . The early foul trouble might have forced him to play more tentatively.

Gordon wasn’t the only Wildcat with early foul trouble. Ashley, Johnson and Hollis-Jefferson had two fouls at the midway break as well . Hollis-Jefferson fouled out with roughly five minutes remaining.

The Arizona defense wasn’t as physical as it needed to be to limit the late run by the Aztecs.

York, where did you go?In Arizona’s first two games, sophomore guard Gabe York

shone. He scored double-digit points and was a huge threat as a deep ball shooter. York was also a floor general by finding open shooters and not turning the ball over.

In the team’s first big game of the season, York disappeared a little bit, scoring four points, and was 0-for-2 from beyond the arc. The Wildcats need York to be that three-point threat off the bench if they want to win future big games.

York also finished with zero assists .No fast break pointsA characteristic of this Arizona basketball team will be its

athletic transition offense. The Wildcats’ offense is predicated on playing strong defense and turning that into quick points.

Thursday, Arizona only had four fast break points . As the season progresses, especially in big games like Thursday’s, Arizona will need to be more effective in transition. TYLER BAKER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

FRESHMAN FORWARD Aaron Gordon had 16 points, eight rebounds and three steals against San Diego State on Thursday night, despite being in foul trouble.
