Respectfully requesting that you cool it with the "dumb," "piss poor," etc. We'd all like to have seen that game go differently, and yes, it's particularly frustrating that at times it felt winnable. Oregon is a great team, but as others have pointed out, we had ill-advised shots and some that just weren't falling, and we didn't capitalize as well as we could have on the few holes that did show up in their defense. That said, there is no quit in this team. They've clawed their way back in other games, and while it wasn't enough today, I loved seeing Ashten stepping up big and knocking down threes when we were down late, Lexie keep shooting even when things hadn't been going her way, and Ki scrapping out on the floor for essentially the entire game.
Looking forward to these Arizona schools and grateful that we have a team of incredible young women—and their talented coaches—who play their hearts out for our entertainment. Time to dust themselves off and get back to it.
