They share minutes. They share points. They share everything.

When they put it all together, good things happen and will continue to happen.

After yesterday's 100-72 rout of Team Concept, several things were set in stone.

This team cares, and plays for each other.

It doesn't matter that Arizona didn't receive one vote for the Top 25 in either preseason poll.

What matters is that each player knows that her teammates have her back. This team proves that unselfishness is just not measured in assists.

Junior guard Amy Grzyb started the game, and after every timeout she was the first to jump off the bench to greet the team when she was out of the game.

They believe in each other. They share with each other.

"Isn't that fun?" said associate head coach Denise Dove Ianello about the team's unselfishness. "That's so fun to watch, when you have kids out there having fun and looking for one another."

It wasn't too hard to tell how much fun the team had; it was pretty evident by how the team erupted as freshman Anna Chappell scored her two points of the contest.

But it wasn't all fun and games. Team Concept often pushed the guards to their limit, and on the inside, Arizona's opponent matched the Wildcats pound-for-pound, making for a much more intense game than the one against the Czech Club.

Grzyb was asked to pressure the ball full-court, and after repeated trips up and down the floor, even the most in-shape athlete gets winded.

Grzyb realized she was, and let the coach know. Grzyb had no problem watching her team win from the bench while she caught her breath.

Neither did freshman Phakisha Peterson, who also started the game, but only played 12 minutes over the course of the 40-minute contest.

Everything fits together and the team understands it.

When one person doesn't score, she makes up for it on the defensive end or on the glass.

Freshman Shawntinice Polk scored 16 points and had 15 rebounds. But she wasn't the only one to share the rebounding load: Senior Krista Warren nabbed 10 herself, Peterson snagged seven and senior Julie Brase got five.

The rebounding pieces in place, Arizona out-rebounded Team Concept 63-33.

No, that is not a typo ÷ the Wildcats, often competing with three guards, a small forward and a Polk, out-rebounded their opponent by 30.

Arizona had nearly as many offensive rebounds as Team Concept did total rebounds.

Four Wildcats scored in double figures, as nine players shared in the scoring of 100 points.

Brase had none, but led the team with five assists.

It all works out.

The team figured to belong to sophomore Dee-Dee Wheeler, who was named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year last season; but with the number of freshman guards now in the program, her minutes might drop a bit.

Does she care to share?

"It doesn't bother me," Wheeler said. "Good teams don't worry about that."

While the players don't worry about their minutes or their stat lines, they should instill some worry in other teams ÷ because if Arizona keeps itself in the same mind frame, the Wildcats will be getting plenty of votes and recognition as the season rolls on.
