Finished second by only a 1/2 game over 3rd place UCLA last year and lost the best player in school history.

I don't know enough about the other teams to complain, but it's hard to imagine opponents coming into McKale feeling like they're facing a middle-of-the-road team.

Pac-12 is stacked like the mens side was in ‘97.



Wait, did I just say this is just like ‘97??
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

You also used the word "stacked" regarding women's basketball. Were you a Gruden understudy?

The game this Friday against Louisville (in South Dakota) will be televised by ESPNU at 230 pm our time. That'll be the only time to see them on non-streaming TV prior to the Pac-12 season other than the Las Vegas game with Texas on December 19th on ESPN.

#9 in espn Power Rankings - highest Pac-12 school (one ahead of Stanford)

"Team of the Week in espn Power Rankings
Team of the Week: Arizona

Maybe no one outside of Tucson was quite sure what to expect from the Wildcats after their magical season came up just short of an NCAA title in April. But Arizona has started 2-0, including the win over Louisville, and coach Adia Barnes isn't afraid to say she thinks the Wildcats will be pretty good. Are we surprised? Nope. Arizona proved too much last season to be doubted, regardless of personnel losses. Like Stanford and Louisville, Arizona also lost a key guard to the WNBA in Aari McDonald, but the Wildcats appear to have pivoted to being a stronger post team this season.
