There is plenty to like about the Arizona women’s basketball team this season.
At 8-1, it’s off to its best start since 2011-12, and is currently riding a seven-game winning streak, its longest in 15 years.
Fleet-footed point guard Aari McDonald has been virtually unguardable, averaging 25.7 points per game, the second-highest mark in the country.
Freshman Cate Reese is averaging a double-double, living up to her billing as the program’s first McDonald’s All-American.
Defensive ace Sam Thomas has scored in double figures in two straight games, looking like a reliable third option on the wing.
