Message: [QUOTE="jake0414, post: 4459426, member: 10619"] Arizona looked completely out of sync. Gave up a lot of offensive rebounds to Kansas. Seemed like a lot of one on one ball on offense. Only 8 assists on 21 field goals. Kansas only had 11 on 29 but I think many Jayhawk baskets came on put backs. Kansas outrebounded Arizona by 20, 51-31. Arizona appeared to give up mid-way through the 4th quarter. Kansas definitely played more cohesively and together as a team. They looked to push the ball inside and had great success. If they play in Big -12 conference games as they did tonight they could earn a top 2 or 3 finish. They played good defense. Arizona, on the other hand, has to improve its team play. Having only 4 or 5 returning players, encouraging others to leave, and adding other top scorers through the portal has created some early challenges for Coach Barnes and her staff. They played poor defense. This lopsided loss at home will surely serve as a wake-up call and get everyone’s undivided attention. We’ll see if Coach Barnes can mold it’s talented roster into a team capable of making a deep run in March. [/QUOTE]
