In person watching the rebuild in Tempe is........truly an insight into ineptitude. The contrast between a well prepared, well coached P4 woman's team and the embarrassment in maroon and gold is sooooooooo painful. I can't imagine how bad it would be without the rebuild by the nice coach and 2021 CAA coach of the year.
The pressure is squarely on Cincinnati on Saturday.....if they don't win by 15 the plane ride home will be agony.....
and with the score 74-44 Ty Skinner commits the intentional foul.......oy.
5:21 left ... WV a 3 on 0 break!
Cincy plays hard, but only 2 players stood out. ASU might have a chance, I haven't seen them play but on any given day, as they say.
Regarding life in Tucson, no one is denying that the Women's Basketball program has been disappointing considering. If we ever had a team for more than a year - like we largely did with Aari - and a "star" not even necessarily as good as Aari, the results would be better. The big concern is the constant turnover, so yes, you can criticize Adia for all that. The declining performance largely reflects - over the years - youth due to turnover, injuries, not having enough players (last season).
On-court this season it has become clear that the 2 issues are "youth", with only Beh a true upperclassman and the lack of a dominant player. No one averages more than 12 points. When the team wins, you never know who is stepping up.
I don't mind you or anyone criticizing Adia or not liking her for that matter, but I see her players working hard for her and she is very much a player's coach.
