I am here. Congrats to Tara for her 500th career conference victory, the first coach to do so within one conference, which was a little surprising for me, because I thought Pat Summitt would have done it in the SEC with Tennessee.
Impressed with our defense as you pointed out holding Cal to just 18 points through 30 minutes of play. We didn't need to score a lot for the easy victory. Still frustrated over forcing some balls inside unnecessarily that led to turnovers. Prechtel was great in the first half and Jones clinched the win in the third quarter with her scoring.
Wished our subs played better defense in the fourth and not give up 22, but minor point.
Bigger story of the night for me was Arizona State beating Oregon and the Beavers escaping with a two point victory over Arizona. With UCLA's thrashing of Utah, I feel like there's a six team upper half of us, the Oregon schools, the Arizona schools and UCLA, who are going to beat up on each other. So we can't afford any losses against Cal, the Washington schools, USC, Colorado and Utah if we want to win the conference title and get a top seed in the NCAA tournament.
The top six teams in the conference are so far 11-0 against the bottom six with a 25.5 average margin of victory.
