Arizona senior forward Sam Thomas left the Alamadome court Sunday saying she was undecided whether she would return for a fifth and final season.
By the time the team returned to Tucson for a Welcome Home celebration Monday afternoon, Thomas had made up her mind.
“I love you guys so much,” Thomas told the cheering crowd at Arizona Stadium. “This has been a great journey with my teammates. And I’m going to come back for one more year.”
Thomas’ words set off one of the biggest roars of the celebration, and no one looked more excited than her own teammates standing beside her.
