TODAY: Arizona @ Stanford 4:00 EST espn2

Looking forward to this one. Can Arizona disrupt Stanford’s guards while staying close with the bigs? Refs ready to pounce on Barnes?

BTW, Arizona plays Oregon again in their next game! Two wins could see them move up to a good shot at a one seed. Two losses probably would make them vulnerable to falling to a three

I am rooting for Arizona in this one. Can not wait to watch (or listen to) this game today. Hopefully Arizona is fired up and ready for this challenge. Lock in defensively, make shots, and keep your frigging composure! Coach Barnes has to know by now. I mean she should have known since Day One but sometimes it takes a minute. The players (Arizona) gotta keep their composure out there as well. Just play good hard defense. Trust your teammates.

Refs ready to pounce on Barnes?

It's an away game so she'll be ready to be "homered" again. She's been doing middle finger workouts all week.

Pretty rare for an elite team to lose at home. That goes for Stanford today and AZ next week. There may be an example or two this season but can’t recall any off the top of my head. Just looked it up: the Top Ten NET teams are 94-6 at home. NCState has lost 2 at home, Texas 2, Stanford 1, and Louisville 1

I think Stanford wins this easily.

Just a FYI...Louisville hasn't lost at home this season. Two losses came against NC State at their place and against Arizona at a neutral site (Sioux Falls, SD).

My error. I looked at the neutral column. It’s Tennessee with the home loss not Louisville.

Arizona gave it a good run just could not finish up and close out Stanford. At one point, when Arizona was within 2-3 points it felt like they could pull off the upset. Then Stanford knocked down two or three buckets and the Stanford lead was back up to 6-8 points. Good run, Arizona. Great game, Stanford.

Two quality teams. Stanford has a very deep bench. Tara is great at getting her bench to perform when needed. This makes Stanford a tough out in the PAC-12 and NCAA Tournaments.

Fun game to watch. Brink was fantastic and Jana VG was massive with 18 points. I remember watching her once or twice last year and really liked her game. I hope she gets more minutes.

Arizona impressed me. Pellington had some good runs and they're solid at every position and more balanced than a year ago when it was the Aari show. Just a tough team.
