I watched the women's game at Oregon before going to the men's game with Utah. The Cats made mistakes, and didn't make shots, but there was ridiculous one-sided officiating in Oregon's favor down the stretch, which obviously impacts mistakes, turnovers, and missed shots. It completely fueled Oregon's "big comeback" by gifting them with over-the-top calls for free throws, and it caused Arizona to play on eggshells. Oregon has a marginally talented moose of a center who was swinging elbows and smashing into people, with next to no calls for it, while the Cats got written up every few seconds from the front to the back of the rule book at both ends of the court. Adia surprisingly came right out and said the team got "homered" in the post-game interview. Good for her. Under the ever-present threat of a fine for anybody daring to talk about the emperor's new clothes, she walked it back in a tweet today and said she was just upset...but with every justification.

Rematch on February 4th. Need a packed house.

Wow, I hope the Pac 12 looks into that. Completely unacceptable if true.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Jan 16, 2022 3:12 pm

And it's Adia being called out for defending herself..... so fucking infuriating

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sun Jan 16, 2022 4:05 pm

Who was calling her out? That Oregon game has just become a must see

head coach

You mean that dickhead coach of Oregon? Did he do it during the game or after? Regardless that is unacceptable. I didn’t see where Adia mentioned him at all? Did she talk about him or just the refs?

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Jan 16, 2022 4:57 pm

Adia didn’t mention him by name but Shaina did (see her tweet above)

Adia is getting shit for flipping him off at the end of the game… but didn’t get into what initiated it

I really hope there is audio/video of this

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sun Jan 16, 2022 4:59 pm

I don't think the women shake hands after games any more, but would love to see the "wave" or whatever they do now.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sun Jan 16, 2022 5:07 pm

Wow, so Adia gave him the finger after he was hurling insults in the game. Meanwhile the refs were getting worked by the Oregon staff/ crowd.

That sounds like the refs didn’t control a darn thing in that game. They got worked and let the coaches jaw at each other which isn’t good.

Adia apologized for her behavior but that dickhead at Oregon has not? Someone has to have video of this and this game has to be a prime time game on a major network, not the Pac

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Jan 16, 2022 5:17 pm

I love Adia!!!!

So Adia has commented to some on twitter for calling her out too but not about who specifically

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sun Jan 16, 2022 5:42 pm

Great catch as usual Merk! Are we sure it was directed at the Oregon head coach? Guess he doesn’t like the new kid on the block

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Jan 16, 2022 5:43 pm

That was from the Final 4 UConn game

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sun Jan 16, 2022 5:49 pm

Ok so the above seems to say she didn’t flip off the Oregon bench? She certainly reacted in some way. This story is really juicy and probably good for the women's game even though the behavior was reprehensible

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sun Jan 16, 2022 5:54 pm

In any event, love her passion!

In my opinion women are always too quick to apologize for standing up to asshole men. It's expected of them. I wish she hadn't apologized and had just taken whatever fine would have come.

I fucking love Adia

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 5:20 am

It doesn't matter if you are a man, woman or martian. If the other coach is giving shit to either you or your players you better give a big FUCK YOU.

Cats drop to #10. Pulling for UCONN today as they play at Oregon.

Wonder if Kelly cusses at Geno the same way as he does at Adia?

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 4:40 pm

Well… Oregon is killing UConn

I guess it makes our OT Loss look a little better

Oregon coach responds.

“I think whatever happened after, I think has kind of been blown up to be honest with you,” he said. “I don’t think it was anything more on either side that competitors do, you know what I mean. We compete and sometimes that’s not always pretty. I think that was kind of blown out of proportion.”

I’m sure my coach has a one finger response for them too.

“I think that was kind of blown out of proportion.”

With all due attribution to Seth Rogen: He can blow it in any proportion he wants to. He's a jackass and a bully, and he coaches his players to act similarly. Meanwhile, it looks like the Pac-12 will just leave it as a slap on Adia's wrist for the mortal sin of criticizing their outrageously incompetent and regionally biased officials. Considering the conference gag rules and repercussions, how bad does it have to get before a coach is sufficiently provoked to speak out? I guess she gets to pick between Bobby Knight's infamous "lie back and enjoy it", Laura Ingraham's equally infamous "shut up and dribble", and Sean Miller's "he touched the ball!"

This is something that seems to be happening more and more. Our season-ending games at McKale against the LA schools will only be on P12LA, probably because P12N has some other game scheduled, and P12-Arizona will carry ASU's crappy team. Or something. Meanwhile, on the same tier and cost as the one for Tucson Comcast that provides only P12N and P12-Arizona, Spectrum in LA carries all the league channels. I get a sense that the squeeze is on. Maybe they'll change it later, or it will have the beneficial effect of even bigger crowds. But, also maybe part of our Brave New World.

azgreg · Post by **azgreg** » Wed Jan 26, 2022 6:21 pm

Not a good start for the ladies.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Wed Jan 26, 2022 6:28 pm

Something about those rims in Pauley I guess

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Wed Jan 26, 2022 6:31 pm

No game thread is the problem.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Wed Jan 26, 2022 6:42 pm

Slow start again but we have closed the gap a bit. Still getting out shot by about 20% and we haven’t hit a three while they are 3-3 so it’s probably as good as it could be

There’s something odd about the background. I always wonder if practicing in Jefferson does not translate into shooting in mostly empty large arenas.

Adia though she got homered in Eugene, wait till she she’s this crap upon revue. The Bruins been watching Duke.

Well I feel better about the women's chances than I did at half time last night with the men.

To be fair, Comcast gives you every Pac-12 channel for free on streaming.

I like Lauren, but she needs to play less timidly.

Edited because I’m guessing that knee isn’t 100% at all.
