After being eliminated from the Pac-12 Tournament, the Arizona women’s basketball team has more than two weeks off before March Madness, though “off” is a relative term.
“It’s okay to take a day or two off,” star guard Aari McDonald said, “but we gotta get into the gym and shoot and get better.”
Arizona’s weakness heading into the NCAA Tournament is obvious: cold shooting that leads to costly scoring droughts.
No better example than the third quarter of the Pac-12 Tournament semis. Arizona led UCLA 25-24 with 7:38 left. By the time the period ended, they were trailing the Bruins 38-28.
