Aari McDonald owed UCLA one.
Two days before Arizona’s rematch with No. 8 UCLA, McDonald said she was determined to avenge the loss the Bruins handed them in Westwood earlier in the month.
She barked, then she bit.
McDonald scored 27 points, including 14 in a tone-setting first quarter, and Sam Thomas added a career-high 20 as No. 16 Arizona routed the Bruins 92-66 on Friday in front of 7,407.
It’s Arizona’s first win over a top-10 team in four tries this season and its first win over a top-10 team since 2004.
