A good defensive effort unfortunately wasted due to a poor shooting night.
Men up at the half at #5 USC 42-37

Watch the Zona post clear out the key with a moving pick on their last play. Our middle is too soft, but it’s also a moving screen. I noticed that too. She feigned stumbling and threw her arms out and cleared everyone out.

4 pt lead and the ball with 2:00 min left. But we didn’t score again. Hard game but that’s a shame. Good point.

Poor execution down the stretch did us in as Arizona ended the game on a 6-0 run. Talia stepped on the line, threw a pass at Jelena’s legs, and then we had a shot clock violation.
Not pleased with the outcome, but not a bad showing considering we were missing Jones and hadn’t played in so long.
In must win territory against Colorado on Monday.

Arizona only shot 40% from the field unfortunately the Beavers shot worse. Beavers played tough even with the long break.

Heart breaker with shortened roster. But, 4 point lead and the ball late, at home. Beavers usually seal the deal in that situation.
No one player's "fault", just about 4 possessions late with ball/shot in wrong player's hands in the wrong spot. Really surprised KB didn't return the last 2 minutes. I think she'd have made those particular possessions very different?!

Tough loss on a very good defensive effort. Great game for Taya, what a warrior. Poor coaching by not having KB in the game at the end. Talia is too careless with the ball, critical turnovers. Why no Taylor tonight??

Talia turnovers and Jelena missing pretty open shots down the stretch. UA dictated where the ball was going to go with their defense. I would have liked to have had Kennedy out there. Or did she foul out?

There are still more opportunities, but at some point the Beavs need to actually beat somebody halfway decent. They simply are not a Tourney team right now. Best win is Cal Baptist or Northern Iowa. That's not even close to enough.

On the bright side, our senior leader really showed up tonight. Career high 19 points for Taya and she’s off to an impressive start in conference play. We’re going to need her to log some big minutes this year. Without her level of play on both ends of the floor, this game could’ve gotten ugly for the Beavs.
I loved our fight tonight though. We’ve got to remember how young this team is, with Greta and AJ playing their first Pac-12 games tonight. They will settle in. Overall pretty pleased with our performance considering we were without Taylor and coming off a long break. It seemed like we were much more aggressive defensively. Just need to take care of the ball, especially when the pressure is on. Go beavs!!

Hopefully Taylor’s injury isn’t long-term. She dealt with hip issues in high school and has dealt with some shoulder issues over the course of her OSU career (she wasn’t cleared for live play until not long before the season began).

Poor coaching on the last Arizona possession....we had a couple of fouls to give and that would have made it a lot more difficult to get into an offensive play set. Instead we just let their player dribble the clock down and get a wide open jumper

Greta was also being mugged the entire game. She was not able to get any separation. I hope she learns from this game.
