Arizona head coach Adia Barnes posted to Twitter, “Today is a good day.”
A few seconds later it was, “Today is a great day.”
Arizona women’s basketball added Oklahoma transfer Shaina Pellington shortly after adding Penn State grad transfer Amari Carter.
Pellington, a 5-foot-7 native of Pickering, Ontario, Canada, has played for the Canadian national team and was the Big XII Freshman of the Year in 2018. She averaged 13.1 points per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the floor that season.
Pellington averaged 13 PPG again during the 2018-19 season, but ran into some problems and was held out of the final five games by coach Sherri Coale due to unspecified violations of team rules.
