PJ Brown This summer, each member of the Star’s sports team will assemble a list of the five most memorable Arizona games they’ve covered since joining the beat. This week, PJ Brown will reflect on five women’s basketball and softball games:What went down: Stanford edges Arizona 54-53 as a last-chance shot from Aari McDonald bounces off the back of the rim in the national championship game on April 4, 2021, at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
McDonald took the inbounds pass, was swarmed by Stanford defenders, spun and let it fly one last time. By the numbers: 12 and 11. The Wildcats forced 21 turnovers but could only convert those into 12 points, which was unusual during this run after turning 19 into 28 points against Texas A&M and 12 into 14 points against UConn. Many opportunities were missed.
Barnes was courted by other schools before UA ponied up a second raise in just a month’s time. This one brought her $5.85 million over five years. However, the biggest thing that stood out to me in the national championship game is after the Wildcats lost, the fans starting cheering “U of A, U of A.” It’s all you could hear in the arena.
