For the first time since 2005, the Arizona women's basketball team is dancing and will compete in the NCAA Tournament as the third-seeded Wildcats prepare for No. 14 Stony Brook in the first round of the Mercado Region. The previous seven times Arizona participated in March Madness was under former head coach Joan Bonvicini, who coached current UA leader Adia Barnes. Bonvicini, who nows works as a women's college basketball TV analyst, joined the Star's Justin Spears and PJ Brown to share her perspective on Arizona's current run to the big dance, Aari McDonald's impact, the Wildcats' depth, memories of coaching in the NCAA Tournament and a recipe for success in March.
