Arizona head coach Adia Barnes opened her first in-person press conference in weeks by saying she was ready to move on from the drama that erupted after the Oregon game on Saturday.
“There’s no hard feelings,” Barnes said. “I’ve always had respect for Coach (Kelly) Graves and Oregon. And you know, in the Pac-12 we back up each other. We don’t beat up each other. So it’s competitive. So no more questions about that.”
She had to know that even with a room full of local reporters who have generally been supportive of her tenure in Tucson that it wasn’t going to happen.
