I agree. That game was almost as bad as the Stanford game in Corvallis where the refs lack of calls resulted in Haley Jones getting hurt..and that intentional call was garbage.

Pac 12 ref calls are "different", I have said so repetitively. I thought the 2nd half was a little oddly called, the first half where almost anything goes was more typical.
My wife likes to say that all mugging is allowed, however, don't touch a shooter's arm.
And McDonald typically looks more out of control than she is, although ASU's stellar defense I thought made her look bad, yet she still got hers. As I was walking out of the arena, I heard someone say "McDonald is worth the price of admission".

Simonet-Keller - Very nice young lady, she had leg issues and was not medically able to play (I think she was in a game or 2 when she first arrived, but I could be wrong).
UA is very, very good to "players" that cannot play. They kept Taryn Griffey around after she could no longer play, I think till she graduated, and it is fairly clear they knew Tee Tee Sparks would be a "no-go" this year, but she is none-the-less on the team (high fived her last night), she finally had shoulder surgery about a month ago.
As to other's comments - yes, Adia chose to go the transfer and foreign player route, as others have said, who of the better recruits would want to go to Arizona before she transformed the program. We have a petty decent recruit coming next year, I believe.
And McDonald was recruited by Adia at Washington, of course. As was one of the other transfers, I forget which one.
