UConn was down three No. 1 recruits in Christyn Williams, Paige Bueckers, and Azzi Fudd. They’ll be a much different team once Bueckers rejoins. Caroline Ducharme is excellent. I believe she visited Oregon State. Would have been a great fit — great length and can really score it. Evina Westbrook has been somewhat underwhelming. Not quite the player many expected her to be in high school. I'm not sure why anyone transfers to UConn. They have a pretty crappy track record. Westbrook and Juhasz both were much better players at their former schools. Some years ago they turned Natalie Butler, a double double machine at Georgetown (during the old Big East days, when it was a very good conference) into almost nothing, then she went to George Mason and was a beast. I don't think anyone can say Azura Stevens actually improved after transferring there from Duke. I can't think of a single transfer who really became a better player by heading to Storrs.

Yes, I see it as living off of a coaching style Legacy ; Play the way we do, or we don’t play you !

Personally I don't like either barnes or gravy but ua got screwed in this game. The official team that includes melissa barlow should not be allowed on the court. I've seen countless bad calls from her, on many she was not in position to make the call. Perfect example is the 5 second call towards the end of the game. The ref that handed the ball to Arizona player counted one, two, three and then barlow from the other end of the court called the 5 second penalty. I was always told that the official that hands the ball to an inbound player does the counting and is responsible for calling the 5 second penalty if there is one.

Apparently you have not watched Stanford much this year. Why are they the only team allowed to use moving screens. They also have a couple of players that get a couple of extra steps driving to the basket. Watch one of their games sometime and it is a big advantage for them. Especially the moving screens. But hey it is Stanford.

I can remember a few games Rueck got t-eed up by Missy Barlow after expressing outrage at many of her horrible calls (and non calls). Is there a PAC-12 coach that likes Missy Barlow?

Like the one she called when Rueck was at the end of the bench getting water with his back to the court. Barlow was at the far corner when she called a technical foul on Rueck. Barlow has been run out of every conference she officiated in. There was a fund raiser in Las Vegas with a bunch of nba players, it was supposed to be a fun scrimmage. She was so bad that one of the players tossed the ball at her. She tried to sue the player. Every player came to the aid of their own so she dropped the case. What really gets me is that the pac12 sent her as one of their representatives for last year's ncaa tournament. Go figure

Graves is an A-hole. Nothing we didn't already know.
'Barnes didn't specify what was said, but one of her players, Shaina Pellington, later tweeted that her coach was, "Cussed at ... in the most VULGAR ways the ENTIRE game by Kelly. We could hear it from the floor while PLAYING, in the most HOSTILE environment. He needs to be held accountable. Simple." '

Broken record time...there are no Pac12 basketball refs/officials except for the league coordinator, Violet Palmer. Palmer doesn't ref any games herself. There is a thing called the WOC, Western Officiating Consortium, and its members ref across many leagues; WCC, WAC, P12, Big Sky, MW.

I do find it amusing that Graves admitted that he put in bigs in the fourth quarter and told them to "get physical" (coach speak for fouling). And yet AZ still ended up with all of the fouls. I could see Barnes getting annoyed with that.
I also find it amusing that after Duck fans railed online about how Graves would NEVER use bad language etc. Graves said everyone was being a little naughty. ie, Yeah, he was swearing at Barnes.

' So if Pellington is to be believed....that Gravy was cussing out Barnes the entire game?....is their bad blood between these 2 coaches? or was Arizona doing something that was causing Graves to cuss at her?.....I did not see the game.

There is a thing called the WOC, Western Officiating Consortium, and its members ref across many leagues; WCC, WAC, P12, Big Sky, MW. is officiating in the women's game the same as the mens? In the men's game, each conference has a list of A through D officials. If a ref is on the A list, he/she has the first opportunity to claim and schedule the game. Then it works down the list. Big conferences pay more than small conferences. A mediocre seasoned official based in the pacific northwest may be on the Pac-12 D list, mountain west and WCC C list, and Summit, Big Sky and WAC B or C list. The ref is responsible for travel expenses. Games in Bozeman and Orem are easier to get because they might pay $1500 instead of the $4000 for a game in Corvallis.
