Good commentaries and comments on this game, especially from 81alum -- thanks! The game was best summed up as UGLY ... but happily the Cardinal won another close one with hustle, toughness & gritty D. Sitting six rows behind the UCB bench, the only comment I would add is that the UCB coach seemed at several junctures to have lost her team and several other times to be out of step with her assistants. With the impressive talent UCB has (albeit with only seven suited players), this may be another reason they are struggling as much as they have been during the conference schedule. Hopefully Friday the Cardinal can hit some shots early & not leave the outcome in doubt until the fourth quarter.
With no legit top-10 team in the Pac-12 this year but many very talented teams with comparable talent, the games have generally been entertaining, with this latest being an exception. It will be interesting to see if Tara can devise a way for this Cardinal team to take it up a notch during the last 4-5 weeks of the season.
