What Adia Barnes said after Arizona beat Texas A&M to advance to first Elite Eight

Behind 31 points from Aari McDonald, the Arizona women’s basketball team made history Saturday by beating Texas A&M 74-59 to advance to the program’s first-ever Elite Eight.

Here is the video and transcript of head coach Adia Barnes’ postgame presser. (Note: Barnes’ interview begins at the 12:40 mark. McDonald interviewed first.)

Barnes on the win: “We just beat a really good team. Gary Blair is a legend. He’s an amazing coach. He’s been here so many times. He has so much experience. He always has a competitive team that’s capable of winning a championship.
