UCLA and Arizona face off in what might actually be a preview of the pac-12 championship game.
I had the PAC12 network via Sling last year and saw quite a bit of Stanford (and yes, they have a ton of talent) but I am not convinced Belibi is really one of their elite players. There's a lot of hype around her because she did dunk but I still think Hull, Williams, Jones, Prechtel and even Hannah Jump are better returning players and Brink's first game was impressive. Who can fill me in on the "Fran hype"? I seem to be missing something that my eyes aren't seeing.Is Fran Belibi ok? Saw that she started and only played 11 minutes in their opener.
On another thread a pac-12 fan mentioned the mistake and overlooking USC this year. While they're not a top tier pac 12 team they're going to be very much improved over a last year and I think may overtake Oregon State for the fifth spot in the conference
Thanks for the info. The box score looked strange so thought I would ask."Is Fran Belibi ok? Saw that she started and only played 11 minutes in their opener. "
She started, didn't play well ; coach said she was trying to hard
Oregon State had the same problem. So, they finally ended up booking 2 NAIA teams which won't even count. Probably not the ideal way to warm up for their Pac-12 conference schedule.Arizona having ‘no luck’ finding non-conference games despite Adia Barnes’ Twitter campaign
The women’s college basketball season started Wednesday and the Arizona Wildcats still only have one game on their non-conference schedule—the opener Sunday vs. NAU. Arizona’s Pac-12 opener against...www.azdesertswarm.com
Wonder if there is more to the story....
In any event, the kitties will easily double the Jacks on the 29th.
It will be interesting if this has any impact on the kitties opener against the bruins.
Didn't Oregon State men end up playing CAL in a non conference type game this season.Oregon State had the same problem. So, they finally ended up booking 2 NAIA teams which won't even count. Probably not the ideal way to warm up for their Pac-12 conference schedule.
Even though it was against Seattle as a duck fan I was happy with the talent level with the mass substitutions with all freshmen on the floor at one time. Oregon only had 3 turnovers in that game.Like Stanford, Ducks are deep at every position, and, have lots of height, and agile height. The Duck freshman class looks very good.
ASU Sun doubles discover their shooting touch against St Mary's leading 41-29 at the half.
Interesting. ASU has won each of its first three games by a margin of nine points period and tonight's game the leading scorers for ASU all had nine points including Ehoni Walker who's emerging as a real leader on the team, Sydney Caldwell who for the second straight game brought tremendous energy and my favorite Briyanna Sanders the only senior on the team with nine points. Sanders played a great game and for a member of the program who's had very limited playing time for three years I'm so pleased to see her get a chance to finally contribute.No one should ever mention ASU's shooting touch because that's just a jinx on them. They've scored just 21 points in the second half reverting to their season average as they put on an offensive clinic by Sun Devil's standards to win. Arizona State sneaks away with a win against St. Mary's -- 62-53. A win is a win! Onto USC on Friday!
