Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3420321, member: 591"] Why do you say that? Attended the Adia Barnes radio show in person. Quote (paraphrase) - "our schedule was terrible this year, teams we wanted to play and thought we would play dropped us when we won the WNIT" "We cannot succeed with an out of conference schedule as weak as this was. You will see a definite improvement in the games we schedule next year". Also - Spoke to difficulty in getting teams to come west to play, trying to team up with ASU to get teams to consider doing a double dip, but no one biting. What she doesn't believe is that playing a whole bunch of top teams is a good idea, because there are so many potential losses in the PAC. And the truth is, from a NCAA tourney perspective, you do have to have the wins. There is a sweet spot, I am sure, I certainly don't know what it is. I would expect 2 or 3 decent games and the rest better than this year, but not necessarily great. By the way, she was asked, and while she will play them if she has to, she has no desire to play her 2 former head coaches (McGuff or Neighbors) and she absolutely will not schedule a game to play Morgan Valley, who was an assistant here, apparently they agreed to it.
