Just watched replay of Arizona's convincing win vs. Oregon, then watched their OUR STORIES documentary.  

Wow, that was a beautifully crafted retelling of their journey from their 6-win 2017-2018 season with Aari McDONALD sitting because of transfer rules to her leading the Wildcats all the way to the National Championship match vs Stanford 3 seasons later.  Does Stanford have a similar documentary of their almost parallel journey from their 1986-87 season when Jennifer AZZI was a freshman all the way to winning their first National Championship 3 season later? 

Also, just realized that Arizona starts 4 seniors Sam THOMAS, Kate REESE, Bendu YEANEY and Shaina PELLINGTON, who will all probably move on after this season. That's a big loss of experienced personnel; the good thing for them is that they have a great incoming freshman class consisting of 2 McD AAs in center Maya NNAJI (#9 overall with ESPN and #4 overall with Prospect Nation) and combo guard Paris CLARK (#21 overall with ESPN) as well as PG Kailyn GILBERT (#31 overall with ESPN) and Canadian SG Lemyah HILTON (#85 overall with ESPN). Their top returning personnel will most likely be led by center Lauren WARE, forward Koi LOVE, and guards Helena PUEYO and Madison CONNER.

Much like us, Arizona loses most of its amazing perimeter defense next year.  Thomas, Yeaney and Pellington are all great defenders.  Pretty similar to us losing 2 Hulls and Wilson.  I’m not sure who is “next” for Arizona.  I think for us, Emma Nnopu will get a lot of playing time as our go to lock down defender.
