This summer, each member of the Star’s sports team will assemble a list of the five most memorable Arizona games they’ve covered since joining the beat. This week, PJ Brown will reflect on five women’s basketball and softball games:
Saturday’s game drew 14,644 fans, a sellout, the largest crowd to ever watch a Pac-12 women’s basketball game and the fourth most to ever watch a WNIT game. The Wildcats drew more and more fans with each of their six postseason wins. “They were determined to win this thing. They had that attitude. I love they played with heart. We always say, ‘Made for it’ and I think they were made for it and the whole city was made for this situation.”It was the cherry on top of one of the greatest individual seasons in Arizona history. McDonald, who was the WNIT MVP, scored 19 points, pulled down seven rebounds, dished three assists and had six steals in this game.
The aftermath: This was all about firsts. The first time Arizona had played in the postseason in a very long time . The first time the Wildcats had won a title in a very long time . It was the moment that everyone realized that the Wildcats were back — or at least this was a giant first step. Next would be more winning and making it to the NCAA Tournament. That would come soon enough.
Everyone in the community was talking about the Wildcats, and with each passing game, more of them came out to watch.My colleague, Justin Spears, used the “Decibels Meter” app to measure just how loud it was as you could barely hear yourself think. It was at 100, which meant “the sound at McKale resembled a combination of a rock concert and car horns.”
