Wildcats rebound behind big games from Martinez, Shaina Pellington Lauren Fields and Paris Clark.
Coming off a rough loss to No. 6 Stanford Thursday night, it was time for Arizona coach Adia Barnes to do some tinkering.
It worked. The No. 17 Wildcats came out with more intensity on both ends of the court and for the fourth time this season, bounced back from a loss with a convincing win, drubbing Cal 80-57 on Sunday at McKale Center.People are also reading… “I think the difference is that we weren't happy with how we performed against Stanford, and we came back and we've had really good bounce back game,” Barnes said. “… All the games we've lost, we've responded really well.
Fields came off the bench at the 5:24 minute mark of the first quarter to spark the Wildcats. Her 3 at the end of the first quarter gave UA a 12-10 lead.“I don't want her to play with pressure. I don't want her to play with any weight. I wanted to play free and today she played free,” Barnes said. And then there was Shaina Pellington, who led all Wildcats with 24 points . She also made 5 of 6 free throws.
Clark earned her 18 minutes on the court, once again by bringing effort. She was involved in key moments for the Wildcats. The first one came as Arizona extended its 33-20 halftime lead going on a 13-0 run over 3:20 minutes early in the third quarter.Pellington then took over driving the lane for two baskets and hitting a 3 of her own to give UA a 48-24 lead.
