The book is out on how to slow down the Arizona women’s basketball team. Divert all your attention to star point guard Aari McDonald and make her teammates beat you.
It is much easier said than done — McDonald is the nation’s third-leading scorer — but Stanford executed that plan to perfection Sunday when it stomped the UA by 30.
The Cardinal held McDonald to 17 points on 22 shots, swarming her with players of all sizes and cutting off her drives, while her teammates were unable to make Stanford pay for collapsing the paint.
