Here’s what we learned during the 2021-22 season:
The Wildcats were ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll all season, spending a month as high as No. 4 in the nation. They spent 13 weeks in the Top 10, a program record.
Fans continued to show up during the NCAA Tournament. More than 9,500 watched the first round of games, the second-highest total of any site in the country. Only Iowa drew more. The UA won the WNIT her sophomore season. COVID-19 ruined Thomas' third season, and the Wildcats advanced to the Final Four in 2020-21.
One of Thomas’ biggest deflections this season may have been overlooked. Shaina Pellington had just scored the go-ahead basket — what would become the game-winner — against Oregon State. There were only a few seconds left and as the Beavers tried to inbound the ball, Thomas swatted it into the referee. Game over.
“It’s really nice to have a player like Shaina where you feel like she can get to the basket at any moment easily,” Thomas said. “I know it’s probably easier said than done, but Shaina makes it look so easy.”
