I don't know anything about Adia. She's awfully cute and clearly a good coach. But, I will say Rueck has way too much class to do that. That's all I'll say about that.

The best part of this is those Doggies going on about how Baylor/UConn should have been for the Nat. Championship. I think maybe they were wrong.

The huge difference for Arizona is Aari’s shooting. In the regular season she shot 39% overall, 29% from 3. For the tournament she’s shooting 53% overall and 47% from 3. She might need to be even better against Stanford.

Getting hot at the right time is essential. Great for PAC 12. I hope we will be able to play with the likes of Stanford and Arizona. I remember when we played U Conn in final 4. About the gap than with U Conn as we are with Stanford. My comments on bigs was really about 1 player not being quick nor cannot consistently handle ball inside. Was totally aware of player that missed this Year. I know we are very good. Maybe our lot is to be in top half of conference. If we think like that it will become like football. Just maybe make a Bowl. Wow.

McDonald is the difference between Arizona being good and playing for the title. Bueckers isn't quite at that level yet.
Stanford vs South Carolina was probably the championship game from what I saw.
Beavs will be in the hunt for final four appearances if we keep recruiting at this level.

We saw how that worked out. Stanford handled Arizona easily twice this year, but I think the Cats are playing on a different level now. I expect a close game. |

Does Aari shoot like she has so far in the tournament, or how she did in the regular season. She stays hot they can keep it close, if she struggles at all it will be tough. |

She's been shooting well for 5 games now, that's a pretty long stretch to be a fluke. Both teams know each other very well, so no advantage there. UConn appeared to be stunned by Arizona's defensive intensity, and they never really adjusted.

5 games is an extended hot hot streak, but a career 28% shooter jumping to the high 40s from 3 towards the end of a season to me is much more likely to just be a hot streak. If it was a long offseason of work on the jump shoot I’d say maybe, but to me any sample size smaller than 10 games for a shooting percentage is tough to take much from. For an entertainment perspective for tomorrow, however, I hope the good shooting continues. |
