From snubbed to victorious, Arizona is headed to college basketball's biggest stage.
The Wildcats, who were omitted from the NCAA's Final Four hype video, upset mighty UConn in Friday's semifinal, 69-59, to advance to the women's national championship game.
Like it has been all season, Arizona leaned senior guard Aari McDonald. The second-team All-American led all scorers with 26 points on 7-for-17 shooting, with seven rebounds and two steals. For the tournament, McDonald is averaging 25.4 points per game.
UConn's Paige Bueckers, who became the first freshman to win The Associated Press women's player of the year this season, struggled for most of the night.
