Arizona coach Adia Barnes has been talking about the importance of her transfer players for over a year now. Aari McDonald showed why for the third time this week, scoring 32 points in a 92-70 victory over the Portland Pilots (3-1).
McDonald wasn’t just prolific as the Wildcats (3-1) wound up their stay in Honolulu. She was also efficient. Her 32 points came off 16 shots, and she went 5-9 from three. She also went 7-8 from the free throw line.
McDonald is the second-leading scorer in the country after the first two weeks of the season.
