Arizona advanced to the first women's Final Four in program history on Monday with a 66-53 victory over Indiana in the Elite Eight.
The Wildcats entered the 2021 women's tournament as a No. 3 seed in the Mercado region. They beat BYU 52-46 in the second round before a blowout win over No. 2 Texas A&M in the Sweet 16. And while Monday's contest was relatively close throughout, a stifling defensive effort vaulted Arizona to the Final Four.
Arizona held Indiana to just 36.4 percent shooting on Monday night, including an ugly 0-9 mark from three. And as Indiana struggled, Arizona guard Aari McDonald shined.
