You can argue that any weekend in the Pac-12 is a big test, but the Arizona Wildcats will be heading into the teeth of the conference over the next two weeks as they face four straight ranked teams. That kicks off Friday evening against the California Golden Bears.
The Wildcats got big news when they learned that sophomore guard Aari McDonald had been named to the Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 watch list. That came just after she was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week for the third time this season. This weekend, they will face two of the other five Pac-12 players who landed on the Wooden Award list in Cal’s Kristine Anigwe and Stanford’s Alanna Smith.
