Good article about some of the Pac-12 teams' early nonconference tests:

Michelle Smith Feature: Women's basketball teams gain in tough losses
Despite a 35-point loss, Cal coach Lindsay Gottlieb said she wouldn’t hesitate to play the UConn Huskies again.
“I’m always going to say yes,” Gottlieb said. “There’s a standard and they are it. They are the best in the game. They have the best players and the best coach. They are the hardest team in the country to play, and we have to see it and experience it.”
Gottlieb said she has already referenced the Connecticut loss several times to her team since they returned from their East Coast trip, which also included a big win over her alma mater, Brown.
“Once we’ve faced the defensive pressure from UConn, Arizona State shouldn’t frighten us,” Gottlieb said. “And once we’ve seen their pace, UCLA’s pace shouldn’t seem like something new. It’s valuable and anytime Geno (Auriemma) says he wants to play us, we are going to play.”
