this weekend is shaping up to be one of the busiest for Tucson’s only arthouse cinema.

The Loft Cinema will host its annual Loft Film Fest this weekend, with dozens of films on tap that can’t be found in large theater franchises, in an effort that gives Tucson access to some of this year’s most

diverse films.This marks the festival’s

fourth year, said Jeff Yanc, the festival’s co-director, adding that roughly 3,100 patrons attended last year and he’s confident that at least as many people will attend this year. His optimism comes from the quality of this year’s films, he said.

“I think we get better films every year,” Yanc said. “I think this is our strongest lineup,

this year, in terms of films.”As co-director of the Loft

Film Fest, Yanc traveled as far as the Sundance Film Festival to see the films beforehand, in order to help hand-pick those to be screened this weekend. Yanc said he had a very specific idea in mind when looking for films.

“The two words that I would most often use to describe it are ‘diverse’ and ‘eclectic,’ so that’s what we’re looking for,”

Yanc said. “We want a broad range of film so that there’s not too many films of the same kind at the festival.”

Among the more than 30 films on the agenda this weekend are “Dear Mr. Watterson,” a documentary about the man behind the comic strip “Calvin and Hobbes”; “Willow Creek,” a “Blair Witch Project”-esque horror about the search for Bigfoot; and “Faust,” a telling

of the classic tale of a man who sold his soul to the devil.

One of the titles featured at the festival is the documentary “Tatanka,” which was directed and shot by Jacob Bricca, an assistant professor in the UA’s School of Theatre, Film, and Television. The subject of the documentary is Bricca’s father, Kit, who was an activist

and Television. The subject of the documentary is Bricca’s father, Kit, who was an activist in the Bay Area in the 1960s. While others grew up and moved on from the peace movement, Kit remained steadfast, and even changed his name to “Tatanka.”

“Tatanka” will be Bricca’s second feature-length film, with his first being the 2006 “Indies Under Fire,” a documentary focusing on the plight of independent bookstores. He has also directed multiple shorts and has been editing films professionally since 1998, but “Tatanka” gave him an opportunity that none of his other work could, he said.

“I finally got to ask some questions of my dad that I had never really had the courage to,” Bricca said. “For better or for worse, it was the film that pushed me to do that.”

Bricca assumed his position at the UA in August; though he’s new to the community, he said he has gathered a sense of what The Loft offers.

“It also sort of makes you feel like you’re part of some kind of a community and some kind of a larger conversation,” he said. “You can sense that there are other people around who are film lovers.”

While “Tatanka” was a documentary about an activist from the flower child generation, “Winter in the Blood” is the fictional story of a young Blackfoot Indian, Virgil First Raise. Waking up hungover in a ditch, the title character

sees his long-dead father frozen at his feet. This is just the beginning of the increasingly haunting journey to find his wife, whom he discovers has left him, taking his rifle with her.

The film’s director, Alex Smith, is a UA alumnus, and star Chaske Spencer is the Native American actor who played Sam Uley in “The Twilight Saga” films. Both will be at the festival for a question and answer session following the screening.

The film is presented by the Arizona State Museum’s Native Eyes Film Showcase, which was started in 2004 with the intent of expanding the representation of Native American

culture. Lisa Falk, director of education at Arizona State Museum and director of the Native Eyes Film Showcase, expanded upon the showcase’s goal.

“It’s to provide a venue for narrative voice,” she said. “All the films we show, for the most part, are

produced or directed by or written by Native peoples.”

Both Bricca and Falk said the films can encourage a dialogue. According to Yanc, this is exactly the type of environment that The Loft aims to create with the festival.

“One thing that we really want the festival to be is, I think, films that you really want to see with other people,” Yanc said.

Director Alexander Payne returns to his hometown of Omaha, Neb., in this black-and-white film named after the state. Despite this being a modern-day parable,

the lack of color instills in the audience a sense of nostalgia. Anchored by the beautiful performance of Bruce Dern as Woody Grant, the film is both an honest character study and an examination and reaffirmation of Midwestern ideals.

Grant is a very old man who inhabits the grey twilight between full-blown senility and lucid consciousness. He receives one of those Publishers Clearing House junk mail letters that claims he’ll be awarded $1 million if he can bring the letter to Lincoln, Neb. Woody takes the letter at face value due to his failing mental state and generally trusting nature, and is actually convinced he’s won $1 million. To fulfill Grant’s fantastical delusion, as his time is obviously limited, his son David (Will Forte) decides to drive his father to Lincoln. Along the way, they meet an eclectic cast of family and “long-lost” friends, more than one of whom become extra-friendly with the new “millionaire.”

Dern won Best Actor at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and there’s every reason to believe he’ll be a frontrunner for the Oscar. His Grant is one of the most memorable characters in film this year. He’s a grumpy old man with an acerbic wit who aptly states that “beer’s not drinkin’.” However, with his declining grip on reality, Dern captures a mixture of vulnerability, lucidity, confusion and humor that, as someone who’s seen loved ones suffer a mental decline, I can say that Dern gets damn near perfect.

My major gripes with the film are, unfortunately, about the other main actors. It was an accomplishment for Forte to make the transition from sketch comedy extraordinaire on “Saturday Night Live” to actor in a major dramatic film as effectively as he did; however, as a son who must face all of the flaws in his father, he seems to overstate the grief and frustration. June Squibb plays Woody’s loving-yet-critical wife Kate, who makes a point of harping on her husband and his nonsensical ways. Squibb provides some great humor, but her performance seems over-emphasized, and she’s just

really loud.Given that “Nebraska” is the title of the

movie, it stands to reason that the setting is, well, Nebraska, and that it plays a major role. If you’ve never been to the Midwest, it’s the Nebraska you would stereotypically expect. Simple people live in simple houses and tend to the fields that have been in their families for generations.

Don’t feel bad for thinking the Midwest is nothing but farm country, though. I went to school at a major university in the Midwest for a year, and people there legitimately believe that we Arizonans ride our horses to school.

The Coen Brothers’ “Fargo” famously painted Minnesota as a desolate white wasteland, home to plaid-wearing folk who speak in giggle-inducing phrases like, “Don’t ya know?” If you’ve never been to Minnesota, and someone asked you what you thought it was like, you would probably come up with something similar — although maybe a little less cartoonish.

“Nebraska,” likewise, shows the state as vast, still expanses of rolling fields where most everyone’s a Cornhusker fan (who, by the way, are just doing average in the Big Ten this year). Some critics take issue with these representations, claiming that directors disrespect their subjects by feeding into stereotypes. But Payne was born and raised in Omaha, Neb., and thus I believe he respects and loves his homeland. The people of “Nebraska” find a source of pride, honor and identity in working the land and by carrying on traditions that go as far back as the soil can remember.

Payne isn’t mocking his home state, but doing the exact opposite. He honors this people who keep to family and land, and will even entertain an old man who wants one last taste of youth and glory.

Tour of Tucson studios aims to showcase local artists

This weekend , Tucsonans will get a chance to see local artists’ talent for free at the 26th annual Open Studio Tour .

Color-coded maps to guide participants through the art district will be distributed at locations including Hotel Congress , the Tucson Museum of Art , Hippie Gypsy , Barnes & Noble , the Loft Cinema and Main Gate Square . The maps will show the locations and types of art on display at each studio, and can also be found on the Tucson Pima Arts Council website.

The event features 224 Tucson and Pima County artists, whose media include glass blowing, hand-made jewelry, mixed media art, steel welding, photography and classic paintings .

Emily Düwel, communications manager for the Tucson Pima Arts Council , said that last year’s Open Studio Tour drew approximately 10,000 people. This year, the event is expected to gain just as much support from the community.

“We have a very large number of artists versus the average population living here,”

Düwel said, referencing a study that the council participated in with Americans for the Arts , “so lot of artists are attracted to the Tucson region.”

Open Studio Tour participant and local artist Hollis Fingold will show her artwork in the Splinter Brothers and Sisters Warehouse this weekend at 901 N. 13th Ave .

As a specialist in mixed media, such as sculptures pieced together from a variety of everyday items, Fingold said that she is excited for the growth in contemporary art and the shift away from traditional Southwestern themes in the Tucson community.

“I’m glad to see that things are changing, and I support everyone who is doing something new in Tucson in terms of art and culture,” Fingold said. “Tucson is definitely coming out of the ‘coyote with the bandana on’ stage.”

Fingold went to art school in Buffalo, N.Y., and Chicago, and later became a designer for Eaton’s , a Canadian department store retailer.

Since then, she’s owned her own design company in Denver , designed for Disney and created a line of functional art that included clocks, boxes and picture frames . Several of her telephones ended up in the hands of

celebrities, she said, including Eddie Murphy , Roseanne Barr and Randy Travis .

Fingold said she is thankful to have sold her works to prominent figures and organizations, and to have been accepted into the art world.

“I felt very fortunate and grateful that I could make a living doing artwork,” she said . “It made me feel really good, and it made my mom really happy.”

Fingold said she was originally skeptical of the art community in Tucson, but has seen it grow firsthand.

“[The art community] gets better and better here,” she said. “When I first came here I thought, ‘Oh my god. How the hell did I get to Tucson?’ It’s come a long way in terms of culture and art, absolutely.”

Her studio will have works including functional art, clocks, a steel sculpture and maquettes on display. She said that this weekend, she will sell anything that people want to buy.

“It is clearance time,” she said. “I want to clear out some things. The studio looks like mixed media itself. … You just never know what you’re going to find.”

Few people know sibling rivalry quite like Christian and Salvador Lopez.

The brothers are founding members of local Latin band The

LoBros, which is scheduled to take the stage at this weekend’s 2nd Saturdays Downtown.

Christian Lopez currently lives in Chicago and is taking on his last two semesters at Northwestern University before he earns his Master’s degree in Trombone Performance — the same degree his brother received at the UA in 2010. The band’s sound has been heavily influenced by the members’ time spent studying classical music in college, Salvador Lopez said.

“We make a really good team, and he definitely has a lot of things to offer,” Salvador Lopez said of his brother. “I’m really excited to get him back from his university experience.”

Christian Lopez said the relationship between him and his brother has worked to their mutual benefit, as they’ve advanced

their musical talents together and challenged each other to better themselves.

“We’ve always had a certain level of brotherly competitiveness,” Christian Lopez said. “We’ve definitely grown; we push each other to harness our skills.”

Salvador Lopez said that a lively stage presence has always been a primary characteristic of the band’s performances.

“It has to be entertaining,” he said. “It’s my job, while we’re up there playing, to have a good time, making sure we’re not just standing there, but dancing and trying to create a positive experience for everyone.”

Growing up in a musical family, Christian Lopez said the brothers were immersed in music from a young age. Their mother plays the cello and organ at their church, their grandma is the pianist and their father, Bruce Lopez, is experienced in rock.

“Our parents came from different backgrounds as far as music,” Christian Lopez said. “So those [backgrounds] were kind of polar opposites of the music world. I think they both had a very significant impact on what we want to do with our music.”

This Saturday, The LoBros band will include Salvador Lopez on tenor trombone, Pete Swan on drums, Nehemiah Powers on piano, Joaquin Zamudio on bass, Brian Hicks on tenor saxophone, Hiram Perez on baritone saxophone and Bruce Lopez on guitar. Salvador Lopez said that the band’s setlist will include “Smile” by Charlie Chaplin and “Axel F” from Beverly Hills Cop.

“[‘Smile’] was Michael Jackson’s favorite

song. It was sung at his funeral,” Salvador Lopez said. “It’s a beautiful song. I’ve taken it and turned it into a burning salsa.”

Christian Lopez added that the band will play a game during the performance to inspire crowd participation, but did not want to ruin the fun by revealing the details.

“I’ll keep it a surprise,” he said with a smile, “but tell people to bring their dancing shoes.”

Competition kicks off weeklong festival of guitar performances

— Follow Arts reporter Jessica Schrecker @JKSchrecker

Julia Pernet remembers first listening to the Assad Brothers play to an audience of fewer than 30 people in a hotel room in Chicago.

The world-famous Latin Grammy Award-winning guitarists return to Tucson to grace audiences of hundreds at the Fifth International Tucson Guitar Festival.

The festival begins Sunday and will feature renowned guitarists Sérgio and Odair Assad and classical and flamenco guitarist Grisha Goryachev, along with competitions, workshops and master classes for students studying the instrument, said music professor Tom Patterson.

The festival is a collaboration between the UA Bolton Guitar Studies Program and the Tucson Guitar Society. Both groups bring in guest artists and coordinate the master classes, which are open to everyone, said Tucson Guitar Society Chairman Julia Pernet.

“Many people don’t know how exciting guitar music has become,” Pernet said. “The technique has changed a lot, and listening to a guitar concert is really full of drama and is really exciting.”

The UA Bolton Guitar Studies Program is ranked as one of the top programs in the world with students from countries including Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Chile and China. The students have earned their prestigious r e p u t a t i o n through winning n a t i o n a l l y r e c o g n i z e d competitions and going on tour, said Kathy Acosta, a guitar studies senior.

The festival will begin with the Beeston C o m p e t i t i o n , which will honor the passing of Tom Beeston, a classical guitarist and luthier from Tucson. The competition will feature four finalists, all of whom have won international competitions, Patterson said.

“We’re really unique here in that the guitar is extremely popular,” Patterson said. “It’s an upward spiral. The guitar is a strong symbol of Latin American culture and a lot of people are really attracted to that in Southern Arizona.”

The festival will feature renowned guest artists throughout the week, beginning

with Goryachev on Nov. 15, followed by performances from the Assad Brothers on Nov. 16 and 17 . There will also be a concert by students in the program featuring Sérgio Assad’s music, Patterson said.

“We have not only the very best of the best established stars, but also upcoming people who are going to have very long careers, like Grisha Goryachev,” Pernet said.

The guest artists not only create a cultural experience for the community, but also

provide an opportunity for students in the UA Bolton Guitar Studies Program to learn, Acosta said.

“The artists are some of the best artists that are touring right now,” she said. “We develop a relationship with these artists that is a friendship and they see your progress, and that’s very rare from any other university.”

The guitar festival continues through Nov. 17 and is open to the public for

the price of $5. “Sometimes things are just a part of you,”

Patterson said. “I love the instrument; I love the sound of it. My career path was to try to make our program here a model program for universities, and I think we’ve done a pretty darn good job.”

Sorority brings back pancakes for charity

If you happen to find yourself in a drunken haze this Friday, latch onto some friends and stumble over to Greek Row, where the Delta Delta Delta sorority is hosting the

school year’s first Delta House of Pancakes philanthropy event.

The event, which takes place once-a-semester, helps raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the organization.

Tri-Delta will be serving plain and chocolate chip pancakes coupled with whipped cream and syrup — the perfect meal to cushion the blow of a heavy hangover.

The meal will be $5 at the door or $7 to participate in the hourly pancake-eating contest. Student DJ Ellery Gordon will provide the evening’s entertainment.

The sorority has hosted DHOP for the last seven years, said Steffani Violette, the sorority’s philanthropy chair. The girls, she added, are ready to kick off their first philanthropy event of the school year and reach their goal of $10,000 on Friday night.

The chapter’s goal is to raise $60,000 total during the year to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Nationally, the Delta Delta Delta sorority is trying to raise $15 million in five years, and it has currently raised $14.2 million in three years, according to Violette.

“I’m really big on philanthropy, so I’m

excited to see how much we make by the end of the night,” said Tatum Armitage, vice president of public relations, “Everybody here is so passionate about St. Jude.”

In 1999, the national sorority partnered with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to directly support cancer research.

As for the large crowd of people, the women said they’re ready to take on party-goers and pancake-lovers alike. Violette said she expects this year’s event to bring in a turnout like they’ve never seen before — about 2,500 people — thanks to Homecoming Weekend. This year, the sorority has expanded the event space to include the side of the house.

Last year, DHOP raised $8,000 in the spring semester and $16,000 for the entire year, said Claire Rudder, the sorority’s president.

“We’re doing big things, and we’re so excited to be a part of it,” Rudder said. “We’d love to see as many people come out as possible. We want to continue the positivity that is associated with DHOP.”

A rizona natives tend to think the desert is boring. It’s easy to become numb to the allure of the sand and cacti stretching on for miles, and even the sight of

our beautiful campus eventually becomes mundane. With the rush of midterm season finally coming to an end, and a brief break before finals hit, now is the ideal time in the semester for a little R and R.

The weather is finally reaching perfection and we’re no longer reduced to puddles on the way to class, so break out of your comfort zone, get away from the UA and see what this state has to offer over the three-day weekend.

Sonoita Vineyards No need to leave the country for decent

wine when we have access to it right in our backyard. This weekend is the annual St. Martin’s New Release Festival at the award-winning Sonoita Vineyards. Established at an elevation of 5,000 feet, the vineyards encompass over 30 acres and comprise the

oldest commercial vineyard and winery in Arizona. Approximately one hour from campus, the vineyard has a wide variety of wines, including sauvignon blanc, cabernet sauvignon, syrah, merlot, pinot noir, sangiovese and mission. This weekend, the vineyard will feature horse-drawn wagon rides, wine and food pairings, winemaker discussions and barrel tasting. The outdoor festivities are the perfect weekend getaway.

Mt. Lemmon

Mt. Lemmon is one of Tucson’s most treasured spots. A mere 45-minute drive will take you to some of the city’s most beautiful scenery, and the weather is perfect year-round. The drive surrounds you with trees and views of Tucson unavailable anywhere else. Be sure to stop at Summerhaven and Windy Point on your way up. The best times to visit Mt. Lemmon are during sunrise and sunset, for what is arguably the best view in the city.

Bisbee

Bisbee is an eclectic town that marches

to the beat of its own drum. Located less than two hours from campus, Bisbee is full of art and scenery that make it perfect for a day trip or even an extended weekend visit. With a population of just under 6,000, this is the place to stop if you’re looking for that small-town feel.

SedonaFor a weekend trip, Sedona is the place

to go. Approximately three and a half

hours from campus, Sedona promises much to explore. Sedona’s main allure is the display of red rock formations that form a backdrop for day hikes and family gatherings. Offering Jeep and Hummer tours throughout the day, Sedona is the perfect weekend getaway to take a break from the demands of school.

Use the long weekend to get out of Tucson

Daily Wildcat: What’s your favorite drink to make?Stalinski: I’m a fan of classic, so any of the classic

pre-Prohibition style … the proper Manhattan, the original old-fashioned, the stirred — not the muddled old-fashioned — those are my favorite drinks to make. Just anything that’s from the 1860s to 1890s era-type cocktails.

What’s your least favorite drink to make?Honestly, it’s our house drink. It’s the Sexy Blue Jesus.

It’s a damn good drink, but it’s got seven to 10 some-odd different ingredients in it.

What’s been your most memorable customer that you’ve served?

His name’s Al. He’s an 84-year-old Marine Corps Korean War vet from New York. He’s a sarcastic son of a bitch and I love him for it.

What’s the strangest event you’ve seen?A lady I refused service because she was too

intoxicated challenged me to [recite] the Gettysburg Address. That was 4th of July a couple of years ago.

Who won?I was like, “Yeah, four score and seven years ago you

were a beautiful woman and now you’ve had too much to drink now get the fuck out.”

As a customer, what can I do to piss you off?What I like to call the “douchebag flag,” the waving the

money. Stiffing the tip. That’s like a slap in the face. Those are the things that really kind of get to me. I got a pretty thick skin. I can pretty much roll with the punches, but … another one is dudes creeping on girls. You see that dude who’s just going around the whole bar, just approaching every girl. It’s just not cool, man. We’re going to notice that, and we’re going to look for an excuse to kick you out of the bar if we see that.

On the flip side, what can I do to make your job easiest?Honestly, it’s actually very easy. All you have to do

is come in, be cool. Just wait for your bartender to take your order, leave a decent tip, don’t be shitty drunk, be respectful. It’s like going over to your friend’s. Be respectful of where you’re at.

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

Honestly? I would like to see it go away — but I don’t because I partake in this trend; I’m just as guilty — is the Fireball Whisky. It’s really bad, but it’s really good at the same time.

Another thing I would like is the bombs. Any of the bombs. Whatever shot dropped in Redbull. That’s just stupid. I don’t get it.

Don’t sleep on Cal Poly. UCLA did in 2012 and got its 2012-13 season off to a disappointing start.

Last season the Mustangs averaged 64.8 points per game, 237th in the country. Their grind-it-out slow style might not have set scoring records, but it was efficient. Cal Poly finished the season with a NCAA Division I-low 302 turnovers. Its 9.4 turnovers per game were second-lowest, behind championship runner-up Michigan.

In retrospect, Arizona had 458 turnovers last year in 35 games — the Mustangs played in 32 games.

Cal Poly lost two starters in guards Dylan Royer and Drake U’u. Senior forward Chris Eversley and senior guard Kyle Odister will be relied on to replace Royer and U’u’s minutes, production and experience. Eversley led the team in points last season.

The Mustangs might run into trouble against the Wildcats because of their dependence on three pointers.

Cal Poly fell in love with the three-point shot in 2012-13, attempting 606 three-point field goals and making 227 of them for 37.5 percent .

The Mustangs’ top three-point shooter from last season was Royer, who made 42 percent of

his 196 attempted three-pointers. With Royer gone, fifth year head coach Joe Callero will have to lean on Odister to fill the void.

Tonight, Cal Poly will also be without point guard Reese Morgan. The junior was expected to start but will miss roughly the first half of this season because

of surgery on his ACL during the offseason.

A lack of depth for the Mustangs will be a huge advantage for an Arizona team that is still searching for rotations.

Along with depth, Arizona has an advantage over Cal Poly in its frontcourt. The Mustangs feature

starting center Brian Bennett, who stands at 6-foot-9 but brings little offensive production around the paint. In fact, Cal Poly finished last season as the Big West’s worst shooting team from two-point range. If it wants to succeed at all in 2013-14, it will need to be more of a threat with easy baskets inside the paint.

Friday, expect the Wildcat big men to get plenty of opportunities to score close to basket. Arizona center Kaleb Tarczewski presents a matchup issue with Bennett. The Mustangs overall had one of the worst field-goal percentage defenses in the country last season.

UCLA underestimated the efficiency and shooting ability of Cal Poly’s offense, and because of it, the early-season loss to the Mustangs weighed on them the entire season.

While this year’s Cal Poly team shouldn’t be quite as dangerous from beyond the arc, the slow tempo efficiency of Callero’s team has become a staple in the program. This should present an interesting matchup for a balanced Wildcats offense that has the athleticism to push the tempo and quickly score transition points off opposing team misses.

(12-6 Big West)2012-13 notable

victories: 70-68 at No. 11 UCLA, 79-73 versus Long Beach State

Top recruitGuard David Nwaba is a

junior college transfer from Santa Monica College. While at Santa Monica, Nwaba was a Western State Conference South Division player of the year. He is expected to start as a third guard in the rotation. While with the Corsairs in 2012-13, Nwaba averaged 20.5 points per game to go with 8.8. rebounds and a shooting percentage of 55.3.

Players to watch forEversely’s production increased dramatically

throughout his entire junior season. As a senior, Callero will need him to continue to grow and become even more of a threat in the post. Eversely averaged 15.4 points and seven rebounds a game a year ago.

Wildcats’ Brandon Ashley and Aaron Gordon are expected to match up against the 6-foot-7 power forward. Eversely was one of the few Mustangs who made most of his points from inside the arc.

UA head coach Sean Miller vouched for Ashley’s improvement as a three-point shooter. Ashley might want to test that Friday night, as it could take Eversely out of his comfort zone on defense.

UA FOOTBALL VS. UCLA

GAME DAY • FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 201332 • WILDCAT WEEKEND

3WAYS UA WILL WIN

3WAYS UA WILL LOSE

DEFENSIVE FRONT PRESSURE

In its first five games, No. 19 UCLA rushed for an average of 223.4 yards per game. The Bruins went 5-0 during that stretch. In the three games since, their average has decreased to 144, and they lost two of those. Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez commented after Tuesday’s practice that UCLA’s offensive line has been the reason for its recent struggles. On top of that, UCLA’s starting running back, Jordan James, is out with an ankle injury . Expect the Wildcats defense to bring pressure in the UCLA backfield.

CONTAIN AND LIMIT Arizona’s defense has been consistent this

season. The top-40 ranked group has had one weakness: big plays early in the game. This has put a strain on a dynamic offense by pressuring it to either play faster and score often, or worse, play from behind, as it did against USC on Oct. 10 . If the 11 men on defense can hold UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley and his many weapons to fewer than 20 points in the first half, the Wildcats’ offense is good enough to win the game.

MIGHTY MIDGETS Freshman receivers Samajie Grant and

Nate Phillips are the real deal. The two receivers, who both stand under 6 feet tall, have been given the nickname “the mighty

midgets” by the coaches for their short stature but considerable strength.

While they may not appear dangerous, their ability to get open and make spectacular deep catches have without a doubt been a key to the Wildcats’ passing game so far. Grant leads the team with 33 catches and has proven to be quarterback B.J. Denker’s go-to target, especially for short yardage gains. Phillips leads the team in both receiving yards and touchdowns .

Phillips has made a number of impressive catches, which have led to big gains.

Saturday the mighty midgets will nce again be one of the most important pieces in the Arizona offense.

IT’S IN THE NUMBERS

The UCLA Bruins are ranked No. 16 in the AP Poll. That means something.

In their second game of the season, they rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat No. 23 Nebraska.

The Bruins are resilient and they mean business. Their only two losses of the season have come from the Pac-12 big dogs: Oregon and Stanford . After those back-to-back losses,

UCLA came back and beat Colorado , regaining its winning momentum. It’s surely not going to let up in Tucson. At the end of the day, the Bruins are just a better team.

UNDER PRESSUREIn any game, there’s always the chance a

team will choke. And in this game, Arizona is no exception.

This is the first home game for the Wildcats since mid-October . It’s Homecoming. It’s being shown on ESPN . It’s against a No. 16 team . It’s a late game.

There is a lot riding on this game. Alumni come from all over the country to watch, and they don’t want to leave upset. Furthermore, beating a ranked team could actually give Arizona a name in the football world.

Needless to say, there’s going to be a lot of pressure on senior quarterback B.J. Denker , as this is arguably the most high profile game he’s playing in so far.

There will be a lot of pressure on junior running back Ka’Deem Carey as well. For alumni from out of state, this could be the one chance they get to see the famous Carey do his thing — not to mention, playing on a national stage and being broadcast on ESPN could get him a lot of love in the postseason awards race.

The Wildcats have a fighting chance in this one, but if they cave to the pressure, it’s over.

NOT SO FASTWho will the UCLA defense focus on this

Saturday? Ka’Deem Carey.Last year, UCLA held Carey to a mere 54 yards .

Of course, it’s aiming to do the same this year.Arizona’s offense isn’t completely hopeless

without Carey. Sure, Denker has improved significantly in the last couple games, but would relying on throwing the ball be enough?

If the Bruins’ defense can stop Carey, then UCLA will take the W.

game day • FRIday, NOVemBeR 8, 201334 • wIldcat weekeNd

Arizona soccer (9-7-4, 4-6-1 Pac-12) wrapped up its 2013 regular season with a 2-0 victory over rival Arizona State at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium on Thursday.

The Wildcats’ win over ASU was senior day for three Wildcats: Jazmin Ponce, Ana-Maria Montoya and Shannon Heinzler.

“It really hasn’t hit me yet,” Ponce said following the game. “I don’t want it to hit me yet.”

Even with a large contingent of Sun Devil fans in the crowd, including Sparky himself, Arizona got off to a quick start in the game when freshmen midfielder Jaden DeGracie found enough room just outside of ASU’s penalty area in the third minute to hit a perfect strike that was just out of the range of Sun Devil goalkeeper Chandler Morris.

Usually the one dishing out the assists, it was DeGracie’s first goal of the season.

“It was really exciting,” DeGracie said. “I can’t even really describe it. Looking at Ali Doller’s face when she came running toward me was just exactly how I felt.”

ASU looked as though it had tied the game up with about 20 minutes remaining in the first half, but its corner kick goal was disallowed when Wildcat goalkeeper Gabby

Kaufman was fouled. Kaufman was solid all afternoon, finishing with eight saves.

The second half was all Wildcats as they dominated possession and scored the half’s only goal when a “flip” throw-in from

DeGracie found the head of junior midfielder Julia Glanz in the 61st minute. It was the second consecutive game in which Glanz has scored for the Wildcats.

Arizona had several more opportunities to

extend the lead but did not take advantage. While the UA only ended up with a 16-12

shot advantage for the game, the Wildcats’ defense dominated the Sun Devils, giving them very few good looks at the goal.

“They’re a tough competitor,” Heinzler said. “We did what we’ve been working on all season, which was to stay tight on their players and winning balls in the air. Everyone also really showed up today, which helped.”

In just his first season at Arizona, head coach Tony Amato led the Wildcats to their first victory over ASU since 2009. While the UA’s postseason chances are slim, Amato says beating ASU is still a great way to end the season.

“The perfect way to end the season would to be in the NCAA tournament,” Amato said. “But if that can’t happen, then we want to beat ASU.”

“We probably knocked them out, which is a positive,” Amato added. “If we’re not going, they’re not going.”

The Wildcats will learn their postseason fate on Monday. The selection show will be broadcast at 4:30 p.m. EST on NCAA.com.

WILDCAT WEEKEND • 35GAME DAY • FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2013

College football Homecoming games are normally a time to beat up on a helpless opponent to make your school look good in front of alumni, but in the 2000s, it has been

something more for Arizona.For years, Homecoming was more than

just some alumni returning, a parade and a bonfire— it was actually a big football game.

After four straight years of nondescript opponents at Homecoming , Arizona is once again playing a ranked team and reigniting a tradition. Homecoming had been a big game with impressive results for the UA, but it lost some of its luster recently with games against the Washington schools and Utah and Colorado coming to town.

Now this season Arizona faces UCLA, No. 19 in the BCS, in a pivotal game in the Bruins’ and Wildcats’ quest for the Pac-12 South championship. It could recall echoes of past Homecoming glory.

Arizona is 6-2 in Homecoming games since 2005 , despite having records of 3-8 , 6-6 , 5-7 , 8-5 , 8-5 , 7-6 , 4-8 and 8-5 during that span.

Even in years where the UA had little to no chance of making a bowl game, it rose up and beat a good team.

Arizona’s Homecoming magic began in 2005 , when a 2-6 Wildcat team beat previously 8-0 and No. 7 UCLA 52-14 on Homecoming. The Bruins were the highest-ranked team the UA had beaten since a win over No. 1 Washington in 1992.

The next year on Homecoming, the Wildcats beat No. 8 California 24-20.

Then in 2007 , Arizona again hosted UCLA on Homecoming, this time winning 34-27.

In 2008, though, No. 5 USC barely snapped the UA’s Homecoming winning streak, winning 17-10.

However, in 2009 , Arizona beat Washington State 48-7 to set up a de facto Pac-10 championship game with Oregon .

In 2010, the UA celebrated the 125th anniversary of the school with a 44-14 pounding of Washington .

The next year , Arizona lost 34-21 to Utah , the same season former head coach Mike Stoops was fired.

Though Arizona played another uninspiring team last year, it made up for the Utah loss in the 56-31 win over Colorado as Ka’Deem Carey ran for a Pac-12 record 366

yards. Now, after four years of yawn-inducing

opponents, the UA hosts UCLA again. The Bruins have dropped in the rankings after playing Stanford and Oregon back-to-back , but since UCLA beat Arizona 66-10 last year and Saturday’s game has huge Rose Bowl implications, it is a big game again.

The question is, will the Wildcats capture the same magic that they had in the mid-2000s on Saturday?

Arizona averaged 53,613 in attendance in 2005 when the Wildcats went 2-4 at home, but only averaged 47,931 last year when it

was 6-2 at home and played Oklahoma State, USC and ASU, beating the first two.

Maybe the return of alumni can wake up the sleepy Tucson locals and make ZonaZoo stay the whole time. After all, head coach Rich Rodriguez is 9-2 at home in his Arizona career, 3-0 this year — or perhaps there is just something about Homecoming at the UA.

Women’s basketball starts in NY

Arizona women’s basketball will open the season this weekend in the Iona Tip-off Tournament .

The Wildcats will face Iona this Friday at 4:30 p.m. Arizona time in front of the Gaels’ home fans in New Rochelle, N.Y. It will stream on Pac-12.com.

The Gaels will be Arizona’s second opponent of the year, as the Wildcats beat Fort Lewis College 80-65 on Nov. 2 in Tucson in an exhibition. Junior guard Candice Warthen and freshman forward LaBrittney Jones led Arizona to victory over Fort Lewis with a combined 47 points, 13 rebounds and 8 steals.

Iona is led by junior guard Damika Martinez, who averaged 18.1 points per game last season, and sophomore forward Joy Adams, who averaged 10.7 rebounds per game last season. Arizona will be Iona’s first opponent of the 2013-14 season.

Arizona head coach Niya Butts said she is looking for a better defensive showing from her team as the season starts.

“We’ve got to get better defensively,” Butts said. “As a coach, you always want more, and I want more for our team. … Good enough is not good enough in our book; we don’t get complacent.”

The Iona Tip-off Tournament consists of four teams playing a total of four games. Michigan faces off with Bowling Green in the first game of a double-header on Friday. Arizona and Iona make up the second half of that double-header.

The tournament concludes on Saturday, as Arizona will face either Bowling Green or Michigan in the first game of a double-header at 11 a.m. Arizona time . The game will stream on Pac-12.com. In the second game of the double-header, Iona will square off against whichever team doesn’t play Arizona in the first game.

Wildcat hockey will face its third top-three opponent in the last six weeks tonight when defending ACHA champion Minot State visits for a two-game series.

A possible issue with the timing of these contests is the Arizona men’s basketball regular season opener at McKale Center on Friday and the Homecoming football game Saturday.

“Obviously basketball and football are the major sports here in Tucson,” said hockey head coach Sean Hogan. “It might affect attendance a little bit, but we’re doing everything we can in terms of promotions. Hopefully we won’t see a drastic fall-off, because Minot State is the top team in the country and we want as many fans here [at the Tucson Convention Center] as we can get.”

Throughout the series, the Wildcats will be clad in camouflage uniforms for Military Appreciation Weekend. Hogan said Wildcat hockey gives out free tickets at Davis–Monthan Air Force Base and to the ROTC.

“The jerseys are awesome; they’re great for Military Appreciation Weekend,” said senior forward and assistant captain Andrew Murmes, whose two grandfathers are veterans. “We all appreciate the people that protect us and put their lives on the line. For a mother to have her son go out to serve and not know what’s going to happen takes a lot of heart, so we support all the [military] families as well.”

The “Buy Two Tickets, Get One Free” promotion will be offered to fans all weekend, and $1 Hot Dog Night returns for Friday’s contest as well.

The No. 13 Wildcats (7-7-0, 3-3-0 WCHL) were swept last week by then-No. 18 Colorado State following their blowout win over Colorado 8-0 on Halloween. Arizona is looking to avoid losing more than two games in a row since dropping eight straight to end the 2012-13 season.

Junior college varsity team Williston State pulled off a shocking upset over Minot, getting a road shootout win over the No. 1 Beavers (13-0-1) last Saturday and handing MSU its first

loss since Nov. 30, 2012. The last time Minot State had lost at Maysa Arena was on Oct. 29, 2011.

Senior forward and captain Ansel Ivens-Anderson is expected to make an early comeback from an ankle injury this weekend after sitting out Saturday on crutches. Another key part of Hogan’s offense, junior forward Michael Ferreira, could make an early return from his leg injury as well.

“I hope I can go out there and be the player I’m expected to be,” Ivens-

Anderson said. “I’m certainly going to give 110 percent out there; there’s no doubt about that. I’m just hoping that my ankle can be healed up so I can play well enough to beat the No. 1 team in the country.”

Freshman goaltender Garrett Patrick is expected to start the two games for Arizona after shutting out the Buffaloes in his college hockey debut last Thursday.

The puck will drop at 7:30 p.m. as Hogan tries to earn his first win against a top-ranked team since taking over the Wildcat hockey program in 2011.
