Aari McDonald banked in a layup with nine seconds left in overtime and No. 13 Arizona beat No. 4 Stanford 73-72 on Friday for its first-ever win over a top-5 team.
“We continue to say leave a legacy,” Arizona head coach Adia Barnes said. “And that’s what we do.”
Battling a nagging ankle injury, McDonald finished with 20 points, 13 in the fourth quarter and overtime.
“I’m just fine,” McDonald said about playing through the injury. “Just the bigger picture. It’s not about me. It’s about my team. Whatever I can do to help, even if I play less minutes or didn’t score a lot, I don’t care.
