Seems like she missed last year or the year before also. Rough break for her!

I guess I need to take a closer look at Arizona because something strange is going on down there in the early season. I noticed they played powerhouse Point Loma on November 1st and besides the game being fairly close, Arizona played 4 players 40 minutes each, and one player 39 minutes, so only 6 players saw action, and one of them only got 1 minute. Huh? Isn't the early games for giving everyone a shot? I'm guessing discipline issues. Nnjai didn't play tonight and I don't think Montaya Dew has played this year. Still enough talent there to be a tough team to beat, but they do look to be sinking. Dew is out for the year. Surgery on the knee. Nnaji is averaging over 20 minutes a game. Young team trying to figure it out. And I bet some of the refs wish SR would just give them the finger instead of one of his longer rants at them. She wasn’t flipping off any refs. She was in a postgame center court huddle with her team immediately following their biggest W in program history.

I'm with you on this one Werebeaver..... She was into Big-girl tough talk after a remarkably impressive win that virtually no one gave them a chance of winning.... So "F them" she shouted to her players... There are a few things about her I personally do not like - but this ain't one of them..... GO BEAVS!!

I was watching the Texas-Arizona game and the announcers mentioned that Maya Nnaji is leaving basketball to concentrate on academics. Stories are now out that confirm.

Wow! Nnaji is a nice talent. Too bad for Arizona, who had that great 2022 recruiting class, and now most of them are gone.

Watching the AZ vs Texas game, I was so impressed with Taylor Jones. She is so much better now. She is definitely WNBA material. AZ is better than I thought from early in their season. And Texas could end up a 1-seed

In fact I thought it was a totally bush league move on her part. Was just noting it wasn’t directed at a ref.

Then I guess I'm not quite as with you on this one as I thought. She was being a tough-ass with her players after they knocked off a national powerhouse. I thought it was great - and so did her players.... GO BEAVS!!

I'm not the only one saying it....
SkinsHoops86 @skinshoops86 · 1h Cal WBB on a 14-2 run in the 4th to make it a 1 point game. Golden Bears much improved over last year! #ncaaw

Cal outscored EWU 32-11 in Q4. Wow. Won by 8. I think the Eagles are pretty legit, very veteran group. Gave Gonzaga all they could handle this year.

Stanford jumped all over Portland early, let them back in it in Q2, then steadily pulled away in the 2nd half. Without seeing it, I'd guess the comeback was because Brink was on the bench with her 2nd foul. She just might be one of the most essential players in the country this year. Stanford with and without her on the floor are 2 entirely different animals.

I'm no Geno fan but it's disrespectful to pull that stunt steps away from where you just shook the guy's hand. If she'd flipped him off to his face in the handshake line, now THAT would have been ballsy.

I thought it was toward the media, or just their detractors/doubters in general.

It was toward those in general who doubted them. It had zero to do with "ballsy" or defaming someone. Just an emotional outburst caught on court. Sh&t happens. If it was a man it'd be a meme on this board. It's AB and she's a lowlife.
