A Q&A with Arizona Wildcats guard Lauren Fields, who discusses her adjustment after transferring, the accident that caused her thumb injury, her devotion to defense and more.

But now I need to step up and be that option when certain people are off in certain games. It will make it harder to scout us if I'm able to contribute offensively.” After a little recovery from a tough defensive practice session on Wednesday, Fields spoke to the Star about her shooting, her thumb injury, her defense and what she loves about being a Wildcat. The conversation has been lightly edited.
When you get in a shooting slump, is it just about getting more reps? What are you focused on to get through this? A: “It was my left. I’m right-handed. When I first came back it was hard for me because, well, I still don’t have feeling in my thumb a little bit. It was hard to dribble with my left hand. Of course, shooting the ball, you have to pick up the ball sometimes with your left hand. I’ve gotten used to it now, and it’s not a factor.”A: “I had just gotten home from class, and I was hungry. I had some frozen burger patties, and I don't know why, I took the biggest knife possible.
