Yeah, that was impressive. AZ left a hole in their trap and she found it. Fun fact: Lepolo is described as being from Alameda. In fact, she was raised in Hayward. Blue collar basketball. (FYI I taught at CSU East Bay for 37 years.)

I can't understand why they don't let you stream it directly. I'm in the same boat, though I've yet to resubscribe to Sling yet this season (for some they've made it harder than usual and there are no nice incentives). I'd much rather give P12 $100 to be able to stream a whole year.

What's the blog? We're big wine people, always have wine dinners with our traveling group of WBB fans at the Pac 12 tournament, NCAA regionals and final fours.

Their defensive aggression depends upon them bodying up on our players a lot--and while they were usually disciplined enough not to foul with their hands, these officials did decide to call them for the complete-body fouls.
I do think this was one of the least-well officiated games I have seen, but it did not tip the balance either way. The terribleness seemed to cut both ways.
For some reason, in the 3rd quarter the refs called only 6 fouls on Stanford but had the audacity of calling 13 fouls on Arizona.
(Sounds to me like it was a half-time "adjustment" from the coach.)

I have complained about Pac-12 network availability since the day it started. Fubo.tv lets me stream most games. Granted, I still have to pay for a ton of crap I don’t care about, but that costs far less than the five tons cable would heap on me. Still waiting for a truly unbundled package.

Wildcats 'ran out of gas' in Stanford loss; Helena Pueyo, Madi Conner stand out (tucson.com)
Not much complaining by Barnes

Stanford really extended the lead in a 17-7 second quarter (we only outscored Arizona by 2 in the second half). That’s not really a profile of a team “running out of gas”, but maybe I’m nitpicking at a press conference platitude.

Barnes keeps talking about how tired her team was due to three games in 5 days but UA is not that thin and they could have played ASU earlier, before Christmas. Were they that tired?

Tara didn't complain about three games in 5 days when they played Tennessee on the 18th, Creighton on the 20th, and Cal on the 23rd. And two of those teams were very, very good competition.

I think Stanford got a big enough lead that they just played enough starters to keep Arizona at arms length. Arizona is a good team and it took a little more starter minutes than against Creighton.
I went to look at ESPNw stats on the game to see their graph of game flow. In their video tidbits at the main ESPNW NCAAW page, they have the UCLA-Oregon top-25 matchup (with video clip from PAC-12 network) as a Top-25 match, but don't have anything for yesterday's game between #2 and #15. Sigh...
Az@Stanf Stats:
StatBroadcast;
ESPNw;
GoStanford
ESPNw gave Stanford a win probability of 85.6% when the score was 0-0, 86.6% after Q1, 96.2% after Q2, 99.3% after Q3. (Not that I believe their win%, but that it is interesting to see how they view it.)
Jones was only 3 TO from having a triple double.
Arizona starter minutes in their 3 games in 5 days (Home, Away, Away):
ASU @ Arizona (Az 84-66): 112 (56%)
Arizona @ Cal (Az 63-56): 137 (69%)
Arizona @ Stanford (Stanford 73-57): 127 (64%)
Total: 374 (62.3%)
Stanford vs Arizona: 155 (78%)
Stanford in its 3 games in 5 days, all at home:
Tennessee: 138 (69%)
Creighton: 150 (75%)
Cal: 114 (57%)
Total: 402 (67%)
