On April 6th, 2019, McKale Center was packed but it wasn’t for the men’s team, it was to watch the women’s team win the NIT Championship. That was only the start of things to come. Head Coach Adia Barnes and her star point guard Aari McDonald put the Wildcats back on the NCAA Women’s Basketball map!
Can’t believe that was already a year ago! In 2019-20, the fans came back and the team didn’t disappoint.
I had the pleasure to hang with Aari at the Pac-12 Media Day last year before the start of the season.
