Arizona’s second game without Aari McDonald didn’t quite go as smoothly as the first. The 11th-ranked Wildcats shot 25 percent in a 50-38 loss at Colorado on Sunday, snapping their four-game winning streak.
Head coach Adia Barnes said Arizona “played scared” without its leading scorer who missed her second straight game with a lower leg injury.
“Just not being aggressive, stagnant on offense, taking tough shots, really playing timid and not rising to the occasion,” Barnes said on the radio.
The game was closer than the final score indicates. Arizona trailed 11-8 after one, pulled even at 19-all after two, and held a 31-29 lead after three.
