Earlier in the week, Aari McDonald made a couple of things clear. First, the Arizona Wildcats had some scores to settle with the UCLA Bruins. The second was more personal: she was primed to go against UCLA guard Japreece Dean.
“I know every time we play UCLA we go back and forth,” McDonald said. “When I play against her, I kind of have a little extra boost or motor going. It’s definitely a battle. She’s a good player. We’re both competitive. We both want to will our teams to victories, but it’s going to be interesting and a good matchup to watch.
