Ten years ago, the Texas A&M Aggies made it to the promised land with an NCAA Championship. That year, Arizona thought it might get to the tournament, but they landed in the WNIT during the best season of Niya Butts’ tenure. They were dismissed by the Utah State Aggies in the first round of the consolation tournament.
A decade makes all the difference, as Arizona dismissed these Aggies 74-59 with suffocating defense and some of the best offense of the season to reach its first Elite Eight in program history.
The Wildcats had a season-high 13 3-pointers, led by Aari McDonald with a career-high six long-distance hits.
