The 27-point loss to No. 1 Stanford taught the Arizona women’s basketball team a valuable lesson: stop settling for so many jump shots.
The Cardinal sagged off, clogged the paint with their length, and happily let Arizona brutalize the McKale Center rims.
The Wildcats launched 25 3-pointers that night and only made six. After starting 3 for 3, they missed 19 of their next 22 triples on their way to a humbling 81-54 defeat.
“They were baiting us into shots and we were taking the shots they wanted us (to),” Arizona head coach Adia Barnes said.
