Arizona’s sturdy, two-way frontcourt engine
Alli Gloyd isn’t a flashy stat-stuffer, but in Arizona’s 2014-15 season she gave the Wildcats a dependable forward who started all 30 games, played 25.6 minutes per night, and delivered 5.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks per game. Her value shows up in the grind: solid 42.5% shooting, physical rebounding, defensive activity, and the kind of steady, team-first presence coaches love. She also brings a strong pedigree as a former junior-college standout and Pac-12 All-Academic honoree, which screams reliability, maturity, and low-drama fit for a program needing toughness and basketball IQ.
