Arizona guard Aari McDonald will return for her senior season, bypassing a chance to leave early for the WNBA. “I am already counting down the days until I can get back on the court with my teammates and I can't wait to play one more season in front of the best fans in the country,” she posted on Twitter Sunday. “Stay tuned because the best is yet to come.” A 5-foot-6 guard, McDonald had an immediate impact after transferring from Washington and sitting out a year, finishing third nationally with 24.1 points as a sophomore in 2018-19.
She also broke current Wildcats' coach Adia Barnes' season scoring record with 890 points and was named an honorable mention All-American by The Associated Press.
