Interesting what Barnes had to say:

There are things to be learned from UW’s win. The Huskies were effective in getting Cameron Brink in foul trouble, which helped them win the rebounding battle 34-24. The Cardinal average 45.7 rebounds per game, so it was a brobdingnagian feat for Washington.

“If you rebound and make shots, I think you have a chance,” Barnes said. “And [Washington] really packed it in. It was interesting. Washington had multiple people around Cameron, and they left some people unguarded. I’m sure [Stanford is] gonna make changes and it’s gonna be hard, but I think [Washington] just played a really big game. And I think in this league if you catch anybody on any given night, everybody’s capable of winning.”

Made it to Tucson for tonight’s game. Rumored to be sold out or a near sell out and that they will be giving away Adia Barnes bobble heads. Hoping we show some toughness and grit in what’s going to be a tough environment.

It would be tough in any environment.  However, I sometimes wonder if it is possible for teams to feed on negative crowd energy just as they can feed on positive crowd energy.  Sometimes I think so.
