The Arizona football coaching staff should understand as well as anyone that signing the best talent can determine the difference between residing at the bottom of the Pac-12 Conference South and returning to conference glory.

As a coach, the recruiting period from once the season ends until National Signing Day is arguably the most essential block of time.

Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez has the potential to ink his best recruiting class with so many players still uncommitted, so Wednesday could either be a home run or another disappointment.

From the other perspective, National Signing Day is also the biggest day for talented high school players to determine where they wish to spend the rest of their college career in hopes of possibly playing on Sundays.

Arizona’s 2016 recruiting class is shaping to be another sub-par group with only a handful of players that can make an immediate impact, but defense seems to be the primary focus this season.

According to the recruiting website 247sports.com, the Wildcats’ 2016 class is ranked No. 11 in the Pac-12 and No. 58 nationally as of Tuesday afternoon, so Arizona can take all the help that it can get on National Signing Day. Nonetheless, give credit to the new additions on the defensive staff gaining ground on the recruiting trail on such short notice.

Arizona defensive coordinator Marcel Yates, who came over from Boise State, will introduce a 4-2-5 defense next season, but working with anyone but Scooby Wright III will present a challenge.

Yates will have the option of choosing between three-star linebacker Kahi Neves or California transfer Michael Barton.

Neves was once committed to Utah, but made the switch in December.

BIO5 Institute ranked No. 4

BY AVA GARCIA

The Daily Wildcat

The UA’s BIO5 Institute has recently been ranked No. 4 on a list of the “50 Best Graduate Research Institutes 2016” on the Grad School Hub website.

According to the Grad School Hub website, the ranking was based off a point system that gave points to research institutes for: awards and recognition for the research conducted, having a facility that reaches a certain level of LEED certification, the amount of university research and development expenditures, and the “wow” factor, among other areas.

One of the other areas the Grad School Hub gave schools points for was an “interdisciplinary approach,”—something that is a major component of the BIO5 Institute.

It focuses research in five different areas: engineering, agriculture, medicine, science and pharmacy.

“We do things that go beyond any one college,” said Jennifer Barton, the interim director of the BIO5 Institute. “We do those things like big ideas—those grand challenges.

Those ideas that are something that’s larger than any type of work that you’d expect to see in any one department or college.”

The research in these different areas allows the institute to give researchers a chance to collaborate with others outside their respective subjects and “share their advances with each other,” according to Barton.

This collaboration allows researchers to make new

THOMAS W. KEATING Bioresearch Building, also known as BIO5, on Helen Street and Cherry Avenue on Monday, Feb 1. The BIO5 Institute was recently ranked No. 4 in the nation for graduate research schools by Grad School Hub.

BIO5 institute.

“I would say the real advantage to those folks who have this opportunity beyond simply working in a departmental-level group is really the proximity and the opportunity you have for interdisciplinary mentoring here,” Barton said.

The institute also offers workforce development and internships for students. The opportunities extend beyond graduate and undergraduate students, though.

The institute’s Keep Engaging Youth in Science Program gives Arizona high school students a chance to spend seven weeks over the summer working on research projects in the labs with the bioscience and biomedical faculty.

At the end of the program, the students present their research with a poster session.

The program currently has 48

students per summer, but that number may expand over time, according to Lisa Romero, the senior director of public affairs and communications at the institute.

“Many of those students actually end up spring-boarding from that and coming back to the university as undergraduates, and we have some great statistics to prove that the program really promotes people to want to come back to the UA,” Romero said. “They sometimes end up working in the same labs that they interned in when they were in the KEYS Program or others that they become associated with through that program. We really try to facilitate a lot of different kinds of programs that promote interaction with students.”

“My own laboratory is in biomedical engineering and I’m right next to the genomic facility.

And what do you know, some of my students went over ... got to learn about sequencing and how that could extend the work that we were doing in early detection of cancer,” Barton said. “We help facilitate that type of translation from one area to the other where the underlying mechanisms and science are actually similar.”

Regents to visit Tempe for board meeting The Arizona Board of Regents will be holding its February Board meeting at Arizona State later this week. Here is a quick overview of what the board will be discussing

Tribal Consultation policy The board will take action on the proposed revision to policy 1-118 “Tribal Consultation,” which the board adopted in 2011. After the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona requested a single policy to reflect the board’s commitment to consultation and collaboration with sovereign Indian tribes, the board office has prepared a revision in conjunction with ITCA and university tribal liaisons.

Who are you going to vote for in the 2016 presidential election?

BY michelle jaquette

“I’m voting for Bernie Sanders because he cares about college education.”

— Megan Nelson, veterinary science junior.

“Probably Bernie Sanders because he isn’t run by money, I don’t think. I think he has some good ideas and he thinks about people as people, instead of just investments.”— Kelsey Borgstadt, physiology freshman.

“Rand Paul because he believes in a limited federal government, and the only thing to fix this country’s problems is not through the government. He’s not going to win so I’ll probably vote for Trump, but I support Rand Paul.” — Kyle Cortell, pre-business freshman

“I’m not going to vote, because I don’t have enough information to make an educational decision. I just need to look at every single candidate’s information, what they support and what they don’t.” — Michael Haan, pre-business sophomore.

“I don’t know who I’m voting for, because I haven’t had a lot of time to watch any of the debates, but I’m going to catch up on them before the elections.” — Shannon Bennett, psychology senior

“Bernie Sanders, honestly some people say they don’t want to vote for him because he’s so radical, but you’re more likely to get a change with someone who’s so radical.” — Alexandra Totillo, psychology junior

IOWA: THE QUICK & DIRTY Iowa: 28 percent National polling: 19.6 percent Iowa: 24 percent National polling: 35.8 percent Iowa: 23 percent National polling: 10.2 percent

Iowans went to caucus on Monday, officially kicking off the 2016 primary season. See who’s ahead after the first round of primary voting

Iowa: 50 percent National polling: 51.6 percent Iowa: 50 percent National polling: 37.2 percent

The Daily Wildcat

Last night’s Iowa Caucus resulted in a race so narrow that results on the Democratic side could not be announced until Tuesday morning with 100 percent of precincts reporting. Hillary Clinton slid into first by only 0.3 percent at 49.9 percent.

Gov. Martin O’Malley chose to end his presidential bid after receiving only 1 percent of the vote in Iowa.

The viability rule existent in Democratic caucuses says that at least 15 percent of people in attendance at a caucus must support a candidate. If less than 15 percent support a candidate, those people must join a preference group for a different candidate or wait to see if others will defect from their original groups. It turns out that most O’Malley supporters chose to regroup.

This leaves the Democratic race to just two candidates with very different ideals and what is shaping up to be a close race.

Clinton told Iowans that the race offered a “rare” chance “to have a real contest of ideas.”

She went to proclaim that she is “a progressive who gets things done” in her victory speech that came before finals results were in. She told Iowans she was breathing a big sigh of relief.

Sen. Bernie Sanders waited longer than Clinton before coming out to speak to his supporters in Iowa, watching the incoming results closely. He, too, gave a victor-like speech as he spoke about the immense progress his team has made to get him to a virtual tie with Clinton. Nine months ago, “we had no money, no name recognition, and we were taking on the most powerful political organization in the United States of America,” Sanders said Monday night.

Republicans had a close race too, but officials were able to call the race within 90 minutes of the start of the caucus.

Three GOP candidates pulled away from the pack with Ted Cruz in the lead at 28 percent, Donald Trump in a close second at 24 percent and Marco Rubio at 23 percent.

Dr. Ben Carson came in a distant fourth at 9 percent, while the other candidates trailed even further behind. Rand Paul came in at 4 percent, Jeb Bush at 3 percent, and Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, Mike Huckabee and Chris Christie all garnered only 2 percent of Iowan’s votes. The only GOP candidate to drop out of the race following the Iowa caucus was Huckabee via Twitter.

Iowa’s process for selecting its final delegates for both parties is far from over, but the caucus results in Iowa have already shifted

the momentum in the 2016 race for the White House.

Cruz heads gleefully to New Hampshire, preaching the power of grassroots campaign tactics. The Texas senator made it a point to visit every one of the 99 counties in Iowa this election season, completing what is known as a “full Grassley,” named after Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley who makes the journey annually.

Trump’s momentum has been stifled and he can no longer proclaim his total dominance over the GOP field. Trump’s speech after the caucus found him congratulating his contenders and calling second place an “honor,” even as this @realDonaldTrump tweet from 2014 was being retweeted: “‘No one remembers who came in second.’

– Walter Hagen.”

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was ecstatic about the results and gave what amounted to a victory speech in Des Moines following the caucus. Rubio performed better than any polls predicted and positioned himself only 1 percent behind Trump in Iowa. “I will be our nominee thanks to what you have done here in this great state,” the senator said.

A win in Iowa has not been crucial for Republican nominees or presidential candidates in the recent past. Since 1976 only one Republican, George W. Bush, has won Iowa and gone on to become president.

In 2012, Mitt Romney came in second in Iowa before becoming the nominee and in 2008 John McCain came in fourth before managing to clinch the Republican nomination.

For the other side of the aisle, Iowa has recently been a good indication for the candidate. With the exception being Bill Clinton running unopposed in 1996, the winning candidate from Iowa has gone on to be the Democratic nominee. Though, it is worth noting that Clinton’s 0.3 percent lead over Sanders is far and away the smallest winning spread in that time period.

New Hampshire on the other hand could be considered a critical win for the future Republican nominee. In 2008 and 2012, McCain and Romney won respectively.

The New Hampshire primary is critical for candidates of both parties. Consider that only one person in the last 40 years—in either party—has lost both New Hampshire and Iowa and gone on to win the presidency. That person being “Comeback Kid” Bill Clinton in 1992.

The New Hampshire primary will be held on Tuesday Feb. 9.

POLICE BEAT

BY LAUREN RENTERIA The Daily Wildcat

The ‘po be crampin’ my style A University of Arizona Police Department officer was called to the Árbol de Vida Residence Hall in response to a drunk resident.

Upon arrival, the responding officer was able to identify a strong smell of vomit and alcohol in the dorm.

The resident, a female UA student, was laying on the bed with red vomit covering her bedding, clothing and floor.

The resident remained uncooperative when the officer was checking her. She stated multiple times that she was “fine,” and told the officers, “you’re not welcome here, leave!”

The officer explained that checking her vitals was a routine procedure to make sure that she was okay, but the resident refused to be looked at. She then demanded to speak with her father in private, to which the officers and the Tucson Fire Department obliged.

After she spoke with her father, the resident allowed TFD and the responding officer to check her vitals. She stated that she did not want to go to the hospital, and was left in the care of her roommate.

The resident was cited for minor in possession of alcohol in the body.

The artist formerly known as “Rainbow” On Jan. 23, a University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the scene of the Wendy’s drive-thru regarding a disturbance.

Upon arrival, the officer met with two boys who appeared upset and said that their father was in the parking lot.

When walking over to the parking lot, the officer saw a man in a white shirt who he recognized as “Rainbow,” who had blood on his hands and was acting erratically. Rainbow then yelled that he was assaulted with a glass bottle.

Rainbow was pointing at the father of the boys, and saying that he made him bleed.

The father of the boys said that Rainbow had approached the car at the drive-thru. Rainbow had asked for money, and when the father declined he asked for food, to which the father said “no,” again.

Rainbow began yelling expletives and threatening them. The father backed his car out of the drive thru and got out of the vehicle because the man was on the children’s side of the car.

Rainbow then threatened to stab the man.

The officer asked about the blood on Rainbow’s hands to which the father said the man cut his hands after throwing a backpack full of glass, and trying to retrieve something from the inside.

Rainbow denied ownership of the backpack.

The responding officer looked inside the bag, and blood was found along with glass, and a Bible.

Since the responding officer had previously come in contact with Rainbow, he knew the man was religious, and asked if the man wanted the bible. He eventually said yes, and allowed the officers to throw away the backpack with glass shards.

C

oming to the UA as a freshman is a fun and exciting time; but one of the most important, yet often overlooked, forms of interaction is the prospect of socialization through food.

The UA offers a multitude of university-run and contracted eateries ranging from the ones you may often frequent such as Panda Express and the oncampus contracted eatery Cactus Grill.

One of the most popular ways to afford to eat at any of the on-campus restaurants and convenience stores is a Wildcat Meal Plan, a UA-recommended service that acts as a debit card of sorts for the sole purpose of purchasing meals and various snacks on campus.

Unfortunately, these plans and payment methods are exploited by students who don’t realize the dangers of their spending habits.

One of the most concerning issues with Meal Plans is students’ careless disregard of how to effectively and properly use them. Moreover, the warped sense of thinking that surrounds them perpetuates a deceitful perception that the money on

“

Memorial Center read: “Bursars: $1000 limit.”

While the advertisement isn’t inherently malicious, for some students, especially freshmen, this can easily be a way to buy unnecessary items.

For instance, there have been many occasions of students at one of the UA Bookstores finding something they want, such as a pair of headphones or a sweater, and saying to themselves, “I really want this, so I’ll just bursar it. If my parents ask, I’ll tell them it’s a textbook.”

The student does this because they don’t have to “pay” the balance right then and there— it’s more like a tab, if you will.

The UA allows this exploitation of its systems by students because it results in more money in its coffers. While both sides take advantage, the naive student is once again left paying the price—unless his or her parents have to foot the bill for the student’s selfishness.

Subsequently, there is an apparent need for the UA to restructure and improve its current policies for payment

What students can do to better prepare and safeguard themselves is to educate themselves on how to efficiently and properly manage money and other finances.”

systems like bursar’s accounts and Meal Plans to better set an example for the rest of the university and to trounce the negative perception and stereotypes surrounding the idea that universities are a business first, and an educational institution second.

As it stands, there has yet to be any reform. Students have become complacent. Until we begin protesting for reform and actively challenging the ethics of our own universities, change will always be nothing more than an idea lacking a blueprint for action.

For now, what students can do to better prepare and safeguard themselves is to educate themselves on how to efficiently and properly manage money and other finances.

At the end of the day, it boils down to simple self-control.

A student who has a good sense of self-control won’t buy $300 worth of groceries at Highland Market. A student with self control thinks twice before going to the bookstore to bursar new headphones for $100, only to leave with a mild sense of confliction and regret.

Changes need to occur in both directions for a difference to be not only made, but also felt.

these plans is simply given to them, free of charge, because in that moment they don’t have to pay out of pocket.

For example, walking around campus and visiting some of the eateries and convenience stores, I’ve heard “Oh, it’s how much?

OK. That’s fine.

It’s fake money anyway.”

This is an easy trap to fall into. The money is loaded onto an account; no payment-in-full necessary at that moment.

Before I continue, it should be noted that in no way do I intend to bash students or the UA; this column merely serves the purpose of illuminating major issues with some of the current policies surrounding the Meal Plans and bursar’s accounts along with the various perceptions behind them.

Speaking of bursars—it’s problematic.

Bursar’s accounts are intended to facilitate student payments on textbooks and other required class materials, but they are often exploited by both the UA and its students.

he student body at the UA always gets fired up about events like Hack Arizona, where kids with STEM interests get to shine.

It’s hard not to get excited about these things, especially

considering their impact on our lives. The amount of technology we use daily is astounding, and we should be thanking scientists, engineers and mathematicians for their contributions that both simplify our lives and help keep us entertained.

Sometimes, though, focusing our attention on these things comes at a cost—one that some of us may not actively recognize.

Disciplines such as the social sciences and humanities tend to be overshadowed by the hard

sciences.

Technology and science may be the way of the 21st century, but we’re still human.

Why is it considered less important to study language, history, philosophy, religion, literature or any other topic in the social sciences or humanities?

Natasha Warner, a highly renowned linguist here at the UA, has also noticed that these disciplines sometimes end up on the backburner of a student’s interests. Her work can be

described as a basic science, while STEM careers are more on the applied side of the spectrum.

“Basic science is important for a few reasons: the first being that you never know when you’ll need it,” Warner said.

For example, studying various dialects of a specific language may seem a little inapplicable, but it would definitely come in handy when developing something like voice recognition technology.

However, upon texting a friend to ask if he went home from work to make lunch that day, it struck me as to just how creepy and unnecessary being constantly aware of what my friends are doing really is.

There are now countless apps and social media websites that allow an insight into our friends’ and followers’ lives.

humanities tend to fall into this category of basic science. While there isn’t one exact answer or way to do things, the knowledge gained from these studies can be crucial.

Warner’s linguistic experience extends far beyond the term “basic science” and beyond anything most people have even heard of.

For years, Warner has been working on the revitalization of Mutsun, a dormant language native to Northern California.

While there have been no living speakers of the language since the 1930s, Warner and an extensive team have managed to compile materials such as a dictionary and other references on the language, as well as directly help those culturally tied to Mutsun in learning the language.

This work has been more than just a project for all those involved.

The descendants of native Mutsun speakers have expressed their gratitude for the project because it has made them feel closer to their ancestors. Unlike much of Warner’s other work, such as her work in phonetics and speech perception, her work in Mutsun has had a very direct effect on the lives of others.

Warner speaks of the project fondly.

“It’s really rewarding,” she said.

The study of the social sciences and humanities has the potential of creating similar experiences for everyone.

Knowledge of human experience and culture can be beneficial. Because there’s plenty of room to pick a topic that really interests you, it’s almost certain you’ll have a positive takeaway. That’s not to say everyone needs to change his or her major or add another to include such an educational experience.

It doesn’t even have to go that far.

The real point here is that while hard sciences and math affect our lives much more directly and frequently, humanities and social sciences should not be cast as inferior. They offer intellectual and personal growth opportunities and in many instances they have major impacts on people’s lives.

As humans, it wouldn’t hurt to learn about our culture, which is showcased in these disciplines.

“Humanities is about place and time,” said Shelly Lowe, UA doctoral candidate and newly appointed member of the National Council on the Humanities. “It’s the essence of a city and its people. It’s the feel of the land and the people who move through it daily. It’s the beauty of community and the energy encompassed within it.”

And perhaps that statement alone is reason enough why the humanities and social sciences are no less important than applied sciences.

BUDDY THE MINIHORSE poses for a photo in the Daily Wildcat newsroom on Sunday, Jan. 31. Buddy’s good looks and charming demeanor have struck a chord in many students on campus recently.

Buddy the mini horse takes over UA

BY LAUREL REISCH The Daily Wildcat

Many dogs and their owners dominate the UA campus, but among the sea of canines swims a different animal—a miniature horse named Buddy.

Justin Skinner, 33, is a Marana, Arizona, resident who brings Buddy on campus to socialize with people.

Skinner got Buddy to fill the need for a child.

“I like animals and decided in my life that I’d have them instead of kids,” he said. “Buddy is 7. I got him when he was 1 year old and very small. I’ve had him for six years.”

In spite of him not being the most common pet, Buddy sometimes surprises casual observers.

“He’s kind of like a dog,” Skinner said. “He’s been mistaken for a St. Bernard multiple times and more people [were] freaked out when

they saw that he wasn’t.”

Skinner also has emus, pygmy goats and ducks, among other animals, but said that Buddy is the most low-maintenance pet.

“He’s incredibly easy. He costs less than a dog every month to feed,” he said. “I have a heeler [Australian Cattle Dog] and he costs about $50 a month, and Buddy costs $25.”

Their walks often turn into long journeys that take a couple of hours.

“I usually park around Speedway and Campbell and come through the [UA] Mall,” he said. “The end result is University Boulevard and having a beer with him.”

No Anchovies Pizza bartender Annie Bank saw Buddy and Skinner Sunday night during one of their adventures.

“Buddy the horse came in with his owner,” she said. “He just wanted to come down and have a couple drinks and get a slice of

pizza at No Anchovies.”

Bank recalled that it took Skinner about an hour and a half to walk from where he parked because he got stopped so many times by people asking to pet his horse.

With all the commotion going on at No Anchovies, Starbucks barista and UA law junior, Mckenzie Trimble, heard about the miniature horse from a customer that walked by and saw Buddy.

“My co-worker and I were in such shock that we had to go see,” she said. “He was just sitting right inside the door and we were petting him.”

According to Trimble, Buddy was calm. Buddy seemed comfortable around humans. He didn’t turn around or shake, or do much of anything, for that matter.

“Very cool, calm and collected,” Trimble said, describing the miniature horse’s personality.

More people than he can count

come up to Skinner just to ask if they can pet Buddy.

“The first set of buildings I came up to, like 10 girls ran up to us screaming and I didn’t know what to expect with it,” Skinner said.

When asked why he chose to bring Buddy to the UA, Skinner said, “I wanted to find a place with a lot of people, where I didn’t think someone was going to harass him. I’ve seen people walking dogs down here, so I figured I’d see what happened and everyone seems to love him.

He’s good with dogs, he’s good with kids, and he’s proven to be pretty good with everybody even if they run up to him screaming.”

Spring break destinations It’s that time of year again: spring break is quickly approaching and Tijuana is just a short drive away

BY JAMELIA RIZATAYEVA The Daily Wildcat

It’s that time of the semester: school has just started, but you are already done.

So done. Your zeal to learn and knock some common sense into your head with textbooks has waved you “adiós, muchachos,” as you find yourself getting distracted by random thoughts while reading about the history of positivism in social sciences.

You space out during lectures and imagine laying out in the sun on a beach instead. Your brain keeps repeating, “I need a break,” and it’s right. You need a break: spring break.

While a well-deserved vacation seems too far away, there is no harm in visualizing yourself relaxing in the near future to get through the assignments and readings piling up on your desk.

In case you have a hard time picking a destination that combines delicious food, beaches, cheap Uber rides and—most importantly—a broke college student’s budget, hop into a car with your friends and head out to Tijuana, Mexico.

A short drive from Tucson to San Diego and an even a shorter one from San Diego to the U.S.-Mexico border can get you into the former electronic music capital of Mexico and the city where—you won’t believe this—the Caesar salad was invented.

Tijuana was once a party town for the more affluent Americans who wished to escape Prohibition. Thanks to Prohibition, tourism in Tijuana flourished, but so did drug-trafficking cartels. Nowadays, Tijuana gets its bad reputation for alleged drugrelated violence. Moreover, strengthened

border control that followed 9/11 repelled tourists. While violence is certainly a part of life in Tijuana—just as it is a part of life in any major U.S. city—there is nothing to be afraid of if you have common sense and have done some prior research.

Some general tips that you should know before going are to exchange dollars into pesos beforehand and to learn some basic Spanish to at least be able to communicate to taxi drivers and to be more comfortable trying new things.

Be careful about the roaming data charges while in Mexico and try to get a cell phone plan that prevents them. Therefore, not only can you call your less fortunate friends stuck in the cold and uninteresting places for spring break and boast your awesome vacation in Tijuana, but you can also use Uber, which is dramatically cheaper than cabs.

You can save even more money by taking an Uber to all destinations that you wish to see. If you can’t get a new cell phone plan, you can take Taxi Libre right after you cross the border.

Start off by going to the most tourist-y place in Tijuana called Avenida Revolución.

It is the center of the historic downtown, which brings together restaurants, souvenir shops and lots of tourists. One particularly notable thing about Avenida Revolución is the restaurant at Hotel Caesar’s, where the well-known Caesar salad was born.

Later at night, check out La Calle Sexta, which is filled with bars and loud parties.

La Mezcalera bar serves a wide range of mezcal-based cocktails, buckets of beer and an interesting music selection ranging from gangsta rap to ABBA’s top hits.

Mous Tache bar, located on the same street, brings in live bands and an unexpected hipster crowd.

There are more things to discover in Tijuana, which cannot possibly fit into one short guide. Spring break is coming, and not in Eddard Stark’s “Winter is coming” kind of way.

What’s your major? Sustainable plant systems at the UA teaches students about processing food

BY Vicky Pereira The Daily Wildcat

The Bachelor of Science degree in sustainable plant systems is one unique major among others at the UA. A collaboration with the school of plant Sciences and the department of soil, water and environmental science, the sustainable plant systems program is for students seeking to learn about how to produce and manage large quantities of plants in an environmentally friendly way.

“The focus of this program is really to promote more sustainable food processing systems,” said Tanya Quist, a faculty adviser in the School of Plant Sciences.

Quist earned her doctorate at Purdue University in plant environmental stress physiology and advises students from both the sustainable plant systems major and the plant sciences major, which share some similar coursework.

Quist explained that the plant sciences major is more geared toward students looking to do research in fields such as cell biology or biotech, whereas sustainable plant

systems allows students to choose one of four tracks—controlled environment agriculture, environmental horticulture, agronomy or fresh produce safety—to meet their specific interests and career aspirations.

When the sustainable plant systems degree was created in 2006, it went by the name of crop production and had only 12 students. Since then, the major has grown to what it is today and boasts a student count of around 80.

One of these students is Taylor Sanders, a sustainable plant systems senior with a focus in agronomy. Sanders said that her interest in plants is long-standing and after learning how to garden and becoming more interested in the process, she decided to pursue it as a major.

Following her graduation in May, Sanders is planning to move to Colorado to work on a farm that specializes in raising animals and vegetables.

She hopes to do more than farming in the future as her main passion is in food waste.

She is currently involved with the UA Compost Cats, an organization that strives to prevent food and plant waste from entering landfills and instead using it as soil for landscapes and

gardens around Tucson.

“My dream job would be to run a grocery store that would use food that was originally going to be put into a landfill and [sell it] at a reduced price,” she said. “We can address food insecurity with food waste.”

Sanders’ passion for her field of study is evident and similar to that of other students Quist has advised.

“Working for the campus arboretum or doing a field study with a researcher—those kinds of experiences help students become professionals,” Quist said. “It’s not just something you know anymore or something you do, it’s who the student is.”

Sustainable plant systems majors have a variety of options when it comes to postgraduation plans.

Depending on their chosen track, students have gone onto careers in fields such as production agriculture and landscape supervision, they work for the Peace Corps and the United States Department of Agriculture, conducting horticultural research at chemical companies or in plant breeding.

The possibilities for students in this major

are limitless and plentiful.

“There’s still a demand for more students for jobs that are available right now,” Quist said.

The contemporary world is facing some difficult questions when it comes to producing food for the ever-growing world population while protecting the environment for generations to come, and students in fields like sustainable plant sciences are the people who will be making steps to solve these problems.

When asked what she wanted others to know about her major, Sanders said, “[Sustainable plant sciences] is such an important thing to study because you need to know where your food comes from … and what the process looks like and how it’s made, now more than ever.”

If I have one drink (e.g. wine, beer), is it okay for me to drive?

It depends on how long you wait, how much you weigh, and your gender. One “standard” drink (a 1 oz. shot of liquor, a 12 oz. beer, or 5 oz. of wine) will put most people at 0.02-0.04% BAC. Waiting 1-3 hours until your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) returns to zero will make you much safer.

The body takes approximately 45 minutes to absorb the alcohol in one drink. Then it takes an additional 1-2 hours to metabolize and eliminate the alcohol. Time to “zero BAC” is one hour for a 200 lb. male, and two hours for a 140 lb. female.

Hours to Zero BAC (1 Drink) Weight (lbs.)

1.5 hrs.

1.5 hrs.

Male 2.5 hrs.

2 hrs.

2 hrs.

2 hrs.

1.5 hrs.

1 hr.

Gender and weight are two important factors for BAC. If you are female, don’t compare yourself to your male friends. It will take you longer to metabolize alcohol because women have less of the enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase, than men. And, if you weigh less than your drinking buddy, your BAC will be higher than theirs – even if you consume the same amount of alcohol.

While one standard drink won’t put you near the 0.08% BAC legal limit, recent research indicates that even 0.01% BAC is associated with significantly more dangerous accidents than 0.00% BAC. Researchers at the University of California-San Diego found that accident severity increased significantly even when drivers were merely “buzzed” – well below the 0.08% BAC level of DUI. In short, any alcohol is more dangerous than NO alcohol. It’s always best to use a sober designated driver.

New series ‘Billions’ tries a little too hard

Archery is more than just a cool sport, it’s science

BY NATALIE ROBBINS The Daily Wildcat

SCIENCE

February 3-4, 2016• Page 13

Anyone who has ever taken a physics class will recognize Newton’s laws of motion and Albert Einstein’s famous equations. But for archers, the principles of physics, math and psychology extend far beyond the classroom. While many archers may not always think about the scientific and mathematical theories that come into play with archery, shooting a bow provides quintessential real life examples of these theories.

Connecting science and math The Wildcat Archery club puts science and math to use with every practice. In order to hit the target, the archers must overcome a phenomenon called the Archer’s Paradox.

The paradox explains the fact that although the arrow is pointed slightly off-kilter from the target before release, it will still hit the target.

Much of archery is experimenting to find the best way to make the arrow travel as straight as possible.

The arrow, however, will never travel truly straight. Adjustments to the spine and stiffness of the arrow are two ways to address the Archer’s Paradox. “[It] is what causes us to choose what spine or stiffness of an arrow is appropriate for an archer,” said Sandra Childress, a UA alumna and the volunteer coach of Wildcat Archery. “It’s like trying to shoot a soft spaghetti noodle versus an uncooked spaghetti noodle. That soft spaghetti noodle has a soft spine, so it will wiggle and the stiffer the spine, the less it will wiggle; the whole arrow will wiggle, instead of just the middle.”

For archers, the ultimate goal is to land in the sweet spot. In order to hit their sweet spot, archers must have an awareness of their own form and their surroundings.

“That sweet spot for me, there are two elements to it,” Childress said.

“One, the arrow is landing where I want it to be: the x, the gold ring. To make that happen, it’s a combination of the anchor point on my face, the grip in my hand, the draw length and the position of my shoulders, and my entire form. When it’s all correct, you should be hitting the sweet spot, because you are in your sweet spot.”

Archers must also have a basic

DARIEN BAKAS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

CLUB ATHLETE NELLY ROCHFORD, club president Ingo Van Der Heiden and Olympic hopeful Madison Eich (right to left) line up to shoot at targets at PSE Archery on Saturday, Jan. 30. The sport of archery is heavily dependent upon the basic principles of math and physics.

understanding of physics, as well as geometry, trigonometry and algebra.

Taking into account arcs and vectors is a large part of determining where the arrow will hit. In order to get the perfect shot, you must get the arrow as fast and flat as possible.

“One-eighths of an inch change at the archer’s position can be upwards, depending on the distance, of anywhere from 2 inches to 6 inches,” Childress said.

All these factors can change based on the type of target you are shooting. In field archery especially, the variability of the trails causes changes in the archers’ angles.

“You could be up on a hill shooting downwards, so now your planar geometry is coming in the fact that now you have the force of gravity, because you are going to shoot down,” Childress said.

The grip on the bow is also important for maximizing the amount of potential energy that can be extended into the bow.

Childress has found that the biggest mistake that beginning archers make is gripping their bow too tightly, sometimes causing them to misdirect the arrow.

“As you grip tighter on the handle of the bow, you tighten your wrist, you tighten your elbow, or you lock your shoulder and that now

becomes a stiff arm,” Childress said.

“That stiff arm steals all the energy, and absorbs the velocity that you are going to have.”

Preparing for the Olympics Wildcat Archery also has an Olympic hopeful, Madison Eich, a mechanical engineering sophomore. For her, psychology and STEM connections are helping in her preparations for the second stage of Olympic trials in April.

Eich is mentally preparing herself.

She practices five times a week for two to four hours each practice. At each practice, she aims to shoot 150 arrows. Being able to show this kind of dedication to the sport takes time management skills as she works to balance school and archery.

“The soft science would be psychology,” Childress said. “How do you keep yourself focused for an hour’s worth of shooting when you’re shooting a regiment of three or six or 12 arrows and then you are retrieving, so you break that mental space. And, when that one bad arrow happens, how do you stay focused?”

Eich’s biggest weakness is competing and the psychological force associated with it. Although, when shooting, Eich considers the science and math of archery, especially when in drawback.

“When I come back into anchor, there is an angular movement that your body has to the bow’s weight,” Eich said. “Subconsciously, I don’t think about it, but when you start pulling back the bow, your brain kicks in and is like, ‘oh, I am actually pulling some weight: what muscles do I use, how in line do I have to be with the arrow so that I can shoot the arrow well enough.’”

Eich said she also finds many parallels between her engineering classes and archery. One of the most prevalent ones is her understanding of kinematics and statics. She said it has helped her better understand how her bow works and what forces are acting within her bow.

“Especially as an archer, you really get to understand how your bow works and understand the fundamentals of mathematics and physics, and how the mechanism works in relation to your body,” Eich said.

Grasping the connection between science and math, and being able to contextualize this understanding is an important part of an archer’s ability to hit the bull’s-eye.

Data Blitz showcases UA research BY arturo bradic The Daily Wildcat

Large red beanbag chairs filled the front row in the Tucson Museum of Contemporary Art on Jan. 26, where the UA neuroscience community was hosting its much-anticipated Neuroscience Data Blitz.

The event, which is showcased two times per semester, is an opportunity for several UA professors, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to present their most recent research findings to other colleagues in the name of scientific enhancement and community building.

Unlike other talks, Blitz allows only five minutes for each speaker to present any exciting data that they found while conducting research.

The featured UA speakers in this Blitz session included: neuroscience assistant professor Dr. Haijiang Cai, psychology assistant professor Dr. Robert Wilson, pharmacology associate professor Dr. Rajesh Khanna, neuroscience graduate student Elliot Imler and director of the Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute, Dr. Carol Barnes.

From studies that explore the neuroscience behind decision-making when ordering a pizza to the investigation of ion pathways that cause chronic pain, each speaker brought a new and different research topic to the table that truly demonstrated the diversity of the growing field of neuroscience.

The event, usually only open to faculty and graduate students, allowed 10 undergraduate neuroscience and cognitive science students to attend.

Among them was Colin Potter, a sophomore studying neuroscience and molecular and cellular biology, who shed light on his favorite talk of the night: Khanna’s research on chronic pain pathways that clash when fired simultaneously. “[Khanna’s] talk stood out to me because it drew my attention to how complex molecular neuroscience is and how many factors have to be functioning properly in order to produce the physiology we see,” he said. “It’s also incredibly specific, with different ion channels performing the exact same function but interacting differently with specific proteins despite their functional similarities.”

Each investigator had an underlying purpose that tied them together: answering one research question of passion that often takes many years of study to breach.

“Questions in science take so, so long to answer. There’s multiple technical issues with technology itself. Patience is a really good quality in science,” said Barnes, whose primary research involves the similarities in the neural hardware of birds, turtles, rats and monkeys. “Sometimes, if you’re patient enough, you will eventually reach the point where technology catches up so that you can make your discoveries.”

in 2001, she has only just reached the point to where she is able to capture the activation patterns of free-roaming Rhesus monkeys.

The UA is the only university in Arizona to offer an undergraduate degree program in neuroscience.

For many students, this degree program is a major deciding factor when choosing which university to pursue for their undergraduate career.

Even though the neuroscience and cognitive science major started small and has been steadily growing over the years, it seems like the students and faculty have created their own community niche on the large UA campus.

“I can safely say that neuroscience at [UA] is as much of a family as it is an academic program.

Everyone seems to be working towards a common goal of advancing the field and I love being part of that,” said Kia Soofi, a junior studying neuroscience and cognitive science who was in the crowd. “Choosing neuroscience was definitely one of the best decisions in my life.”

After the presentations, participants attended a dinner where they could have one-to-one interactions with their professors and discuss any interest in future research.

Study abroad program helps UA students learn the science behind food BY pearl lam

The Daily Wildcat

Students enrolled in the UA’s Mediterranean Diet and Health study abroad program will engage in both science and culture by conducting their studies with not only books, but also food.

In some of Italy’s finest kitchens, students will work side by side with professional chefs to analyze the components and construction of Mediterranean meals, all of which students are later allowed to indulge.

Students will attend excursions to food processing plants to observe the transformation of olives, grapes and milk into oil, wine and cheese, and thus they will develop a greater understanding of how food travels from fields to countertops.

Over the course of the program’s four weeks abroad, students are housed in apartments bordering a river enclosing Verona, Italy, a northern city close to Venice, Milan and Florence. Each of these

historic cities is just a few hours by train, and they are free to explore during the weekends.

Throughout their culinary adventures, students must nevertheless focus on the bigger picture.

The primary purpose of the program is to help students generate expertise in food and nutrition, ultimately helping them become assets to the health and well-being of the general public by pursuing careers as doctors, politicians and more.

“Although my undergraduate degree is in nutrition, I recently applied to be an RN,” said nutritional sciences senior Jordan Hagen. “I know the things I learned from this experience will help me in my future endeavors.”

According to Dr. Donato Romagnolo, a professor in the department of nutritional sciences and director of the Mediterranean study abroad program, studies have shown the Mediterranean diet is connected to increased longevity and delayed chronic

diseases, including four of the five leading causes of death in the U.S.: cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

Students in this program learn about the connection between food and disease by analyzing the “bioactive” components of the Mediterranean diet for the ingredients they study and the meals they construct.

“What is the connection,” Romagnolo said, “between the Mediterranean diet and its bioactive components, and how they act against disease?”

To answer this ongoing question, the program encourages students to study the science behind the food, and to apply this science to problems in public health.

In addition to teaching the sciences, Romagnolo said he hopes to instill in his students the idea of conviviality, or how food becomes a way of life and of people.

“It is important for a student on the topic to know what people eat, even if you don’t eat it yourself,” he said.

On that note, this program is nevertheless flexible with each student’s dietary needs, including food allergies and other sensitivities.

Students learn about nutrition not limited to that of Italians, but also that of Greeks, Spanish and North Africans. They will evaluate how these cultures all blend together and form what is known as the Mediterranean diet.

Anyone can apply to the Mediterranean Diet and Health study abroad program until Monday, Feb. 15. Open to all majors, this program aims to foster a class diverse in personal, academic and geographic backgrounds.

“I don’t really know how many programs out there are like this,” Romagnolo said, “but I think we’ve got something special here.”

The Daily Wildcat

After splitting games between the Oregon schools last weekend, the No. 23 Arizona Wildcats (175, 5-4 Pac-12 Conference) will be back on the road as they head up north to Washington.

The Wildcats will visit the Washington State Cougars on Wednesday, followed by a visit to Seattle and the Huskies on Saturday.

The Washington schools are the only same-state schools Arizona has swept this season.

The Wildcats took down the Cougars 90-66, while also beating Washington 99-67 in McKale Center.

Arizona is coming off its first home loss in almost three years after losing to the Oregon Ducks 75-83 last Thursday.

Washington State (9-12, 1-8) has been in a steady decline since conference play began. After an early season victory over UCLA, the Cougars have lost seven in a row, including blowout losses to Arizona, UCLA and Utah.

Arizona has won 11 in a row in its series with the Cougars.

The last time Washington State beat Arizona was Jan. 8, 2010, in Tucson.

Washington State forward Josh Hawkinson has been one of the lone bright spots on this team. Hawkinson currently ranks seventh in the conference with 14.7 points per game, as well as leading the conference with 10.8 rebounds per game. This is just ahead of Arizona’s own Ryan Anderson who is averaging 10.1 rebounds per game.

Hawkinson had a decent game against Arizona on Jan. 16, shooting 6-for-12 and finishing with 12 points and eight rebounds. Arizona played one of its better defensive games of the season against the Cougars, holding them to 45 percent shooting for the game and 27 percent from 3-point land.

Arizona also forced the Cougars

into 13 turnovers.

Arizona saw six players reach double figure scoring. Anderson scored 15 and Parker JacksonCartwright finished with 13 points and seven assists.

One stat Sean Miller would like to see fixed would be the team’s turnovers. Arizona had 12 earlier this year against Washington State and 19 against Oregon last Thursday.

“From an offensive perspective, we’ve never been more efficient on offense than we are right now this year,” Miller said. “Points per game, field goal, 3-point and free-throw percentage. There’s

one stat that keeps us from being extraordinary on offense and that’s our turnovers.”

The Wildcats will be heading into this looking for their first road sweep of a conference opponent of the season. Arizona dropped both games on its trip to Southern California as well as losing to California on its visit to the Bay Area.

The good news for Arizona is that star shooting guard Allonzo Trier is likely to come back after missing the last three weeks with a broken hand. Trier is averaging 14.8 points for the Wildcats while shooting just above 50 percent

from the field. Trier broke his hand during the Wildcat’s quadruple overtime loss to the USC Trojans.

“I don’t know how many games it’s been without Allonzo. It feels like 20,” Miller said. “We need his depth. We need his scoring.

He’s an improved defender. He’s one of the best freshmen in the league and to get him back will really help us.”

Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. and will be broadcasted on Pac12 Networks.

Ducks lead halfway through Pac-12 10

The Oregon Ducks move up to No. 1 in the Pac-12 men’s basketball rankings, but Arizona is not too far behind

BY IVAN LEONARD The Daily Wildcat

1

Oregon — After ruining a 49-game home winning streak, the Ducks are the new leaders of the Pac-12 Conference.

How they lost to UNLV and Oregon State by double-digits is quite interesting.

2

Arizona — How a team can make 11 of its first 12 shots and still lose is beyond me, but that did not stop the Wildcats.

Last week, I said Arizona could not beat teams in California, but maybe it is just teams on, or near their level.

3

USC — The Trojans would be ranked higher than Arizona thanks to the head-to-head win, but they are unranked and Arizona is No. 23. Therefore, they are not yet ready to overtake the Wildcats in the poll.

4

Utah — Since losing to Oregon, the Utes have embarked on a five-game winning streak and rematch the Ducks Sunday. If the Utes win, Arizona can retain the top spot without it coming off as favoritism.

7

5

8

Colorado— The Buffaloes face Oregon on Thursd ay in what could be a great resume booster if they were to win.

Hopefully, Mike MacIntyre is in attendance to see what two successful coaches look like.

6

Washington — The only consistency from the Pac-12 this season is Washington is better than the inconsistent California teams, but not as good as the top five. Beating Arizona this Saturday would shut me up and definitely strengthen Washington’s case for a tourney bid.

Luxury Rental Homes

California — After beating Arizona, the Golden Bears dropped two on a road because they thrive on consistent inconsistency. Ivan Rabb and Jaylen Brown are going to have to step up if they want to be playing in mid-March.

UCLA — Nepotism beneficiary Bryce Alford had 28 points in a loss last week, while only having 12 in a 33-point blowout. If UCLA makes the tourney, Alford is either going 1-18 or hitting a game-winner to beat Oklahoma. Actually, those could both happen in the same game.

9

Stanford — What does the Cardinal have to lose by playing Christian McCaffrey at point guard? He could be the spark plug they need, and Stanford could market him even more. They could benefit from a two-sport scholar with a 3.31 GPA while he receives none of the profits.

ASU — Sun Devil basketball made national headlines last week thanks to an Olympic athlete who did not even attend that school. In other news, the Nevada football coach took a shot at the Sun Devil’s academics on Twitter, but deleted the tweet. They also beat Oregon State, but that was not important nor interesting.

11

Oregon State — I thought they would be able to contend with the perennial punching bag, but they got embarrassed in Tempe. On the bright side, Tres Tinkle looks like an actual coach’s son who earned his scholarship, so how can you not love the NCAA?

12

Washington State — Washington State’s last victory came against a then-ranked UCLA team, because of course it did. The team’s next opponent is Arizona and strange things have happened this year, so I will say Arizona had better watch out.

Arizona baseball’s projected outlook for upcoming season With two weeks until the start of the regular season, the Wildcats will rely heavily on leaders Bobby Dalbec and Zach Gibbons in 2016

BY RYAN KELAPIRE The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona baseball team is about two and a half weeks away from its season opener, as it’ll head to Houston on Friday, Feb. 19, for a three-game series against Rice.

A new head coach is in place and the roster experienced significant turnover.

Here is a brief outlook of just exactly what the team will look like come opening day: Catchers The two catchers on Arizona’s roster are freshman Cesar Salazar and sophomore Ryan Haug. Salazar, a left-handed hitter and Tucson native, hit .613 in 62 at-bats at Sahuaro High School. Haug is a junior college transfer, who was named as the Big Eight Player of the Year in his lone season at Santa Rosa Junior College. “[Haug] and Cesar will get the majority of the time catching,” Arizona head coach Jay Johnson said. “Both of them are good defensive players with offensive potential.”

First base The first base options are junior Michael Hoard, senior Ryan Aguilar and sophomore JJ Matijevic. Hoard had 53 at-bats as a sophomore last season and hit .264 with 10 RBIs. He also

had an impressive on-base percentage of .446.

Matijevic seems to be the likely starter, however. He started 47 of 49 games at first base last season and hit .238 with 26 RBIs and 13 doubles. He showed tremendous potential in the Cape Cod League, hitting .333 in 144 atbats and being named to the league’s All-Star team.

Middle infield Johnson said Matijevic may see some time at second as well, with junior college transfer Louis Boyd and Cody Ramer also in the mix at shortstop and second. “[Boyd] has probably jumped into the main role at this point,” Johnson said.

Other options include Kyle Lewis, Sawyer Gieseke and Casey Bowman.

Third base Bobby Dalbec will man the hot corner for the Wildcats. Dalbec, who was named a Preseason All-American by Baseball America, led the Pac-12 Conference in home runs last season (19) while compiling a .319 batting average and knocking in a team-high 53 runs.

“He’s a very talented player,” Johnson said.

“The tools are really special. I’ve probably only seen one player—and that being [Chicago Cubs third baseman] Kris Bryant—have as

much or as more power as he does. They key in his development and what we’re working on is getting that to show up consistently and to hit high-level pitching.”

Dalbec will surely be a constant force in Arizona’s lineup all season long.

Outfield The outfield is one of the team’s most experienced position groups with senior Zach Gibbons being the most tenured player of the group.

“We’re lucky that he’s had three years of pretty significant playing experience to draw back on,” Johnson said. “He’s not a big guy, but there’s some pop and thump in there, and consistent hard contact has shown up a lot and he’s someone we’re really going to count on and rely on.”

Gibbons hit .287 last season with 10 doubles, two triples and 22 RBIs. Senior Justin Behnke and sophomore Jared Oliva are the other returning starters.

Pitchers The pitching staff is the biggest question mark for this Arizona team, but not because of the lack of options.

“I think the strength in our pitching staff is probably in our numbers,” Johnson said.

The main returning pitchers are Nathan Bannister, Cameron Ming, Robby Medel, Rio Gomez and Tyler Crawford, along with third baseman Dalbec.

Bannister is the leader in innings pitched among returning pitchers as he pitched 83.2 innings and had a 3.98 ERA. He was used mostly out of the bullpen.

Robby Medel pitched 65.2 innings, and had an ERA of 4.25. Rio Gomez and Cameron Ming pitched a combined 38 innings.

Tyler Crawford is returning from an elbow injury that forced him to miss last season, but Johnson thinks he’s primed to bounce back this year.

“He’s the only player in our program that’s played in the NCAA Tournament,” he said about Crawford. “I think we’re going to rely on him early in some key situations. I think he’s set up to be 100 percent ready to go, and we’ll slot him in a way that will work well for him and for us.”

Johnson is also excited about the new arms that have entered the program, namely freshmen Michael Flynn, Cody Deason and Austin Rubick.

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1

lineman Freddie Tagaloa’s teammate at Cal, will look to make an immediate impact, as he will be eligible to play.

With Neves already enrolled for the spring semester and adjusting to the Arizona football lifestyle and Barton’s experience in the Pac-12 Conference, Yates will not have slim pickings for the other linebacker position.

At secondary, Arizona’s class features three safeties in three-star recruits Gavin Robertson and Jarrius Wallace and two-star recruit Tristan Cooper. However, London Iakopo, one of the nation’s top junior college safeties decommitted from Arizona, taking away from what could have been a better hauling.

Yates will receive quantity over quality. To his credit, those safeties will come in handy especially with the history of injuries on Arizona’s defense.

Arizona’s defense had a lack of pass rush last season and with Reggie Gilbert gone, a physical defensive end is key for Yates.

Arizona’s hopes of landing such a player hinge on the decision of junior college defensive end Josh Allen for becoming a viable piece for the future.

Standing at 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, Allen can match the size of Gilbert, but has more athleticism so his ability to get to the quarterback will be seconds faster than Gilbert.

However unless he signs the dotted line of his national letter of intent for Arizona, he’s open to just about anyone.

National Signing Day begins Wednesday morning.

Rodriguez will formally announce the 2016 class at 2:30 p.m.

Trier a game time decision in Washington BY matt wall

A

lot is done to a team when its leading scorer goes down to injury.

Morale weakens and team dynamics deteriorate. Plus, it’s devastating to the player himself.

Yet for the Arizona men’s basketball team, the offensive production has somewhat increased. At the same time, this team has suffered two losses without former leading scorer and guard Allonzo Trier, and could very well improve with him back in the starting lineup.

In the meantime, guard Gabe York and

tyler baker/The Daily Wildcat

Arizona guard Allonzo Trier (11) dunks in McKale Center on Nov. 8, 2015. With Trier’s return comes another explosive offensive threat to the lineup and defensive tenacity to keep playing hard.

Constant scoring threat Before falling to the injury, Trier was essentially one of the most explosive scorers on the team. He was able to hit fade away jumpers and knock down 3-pointers with ease. Zone defenses weren’t a problem with Trier on the floor and defenses constantly struggled in combating him.

forward Ryan Anderson have leaped Trier in offensive efficiency, while he has been out with his right hand injury.

York has averaged 14.5 points per game and just last game, hit a career-high six 3-pointers . Anderson has continued to be the leader of the team in Trier’s absence, averaging a double-double of 15.2 points per game and 10.1 rebounds per game.

Nevertheless, Trier will be a game time decision to play against Washington State on Wednesday.

“We’re going to get Allonzo back, and I have my fingers crossed that we can be at full health for the first time other than for a brief period after Christmas,” head coach Sean Miller said. “With that, it gives our team a chance to be at their best.”

But if you are Trier, how could you not play? He’s originally from Seattle and the storyline of his return to his home state boasts big time.

“There’s a chance,” Miller said. “We’ll know more when he gets an X-ray before Wednesday. He would like to play. We’ll find out.”

Point Guard U confirmed that chance on Twitter, saying that Trier’s cast has been removed. In his place, Mark Tollefsen took over in the small forward starting role and has averaged eight points per game in that role.

Arizona has surely missed out on three main focuses of Trier’s game while he has been out.

While many have predicted and hoped that he returns for this week’s road games against Washington and Washington State, the only one who really has any say in the matter is Trier himself.

Trier was rarely hesitant to shoot the ball and was a prolific free-throw shooter.

That says a lot about who Trier is as both a person and an athlete. It proves that he is willing to go the distance for his team and not let anything get in his way.

While some predict he will move onto the next level after this season, Trier has so much potential to continue to be great at Arizona for its second half of Pac-12 Conference play.
