Adia Barnes wasn’t worried about her team having a letdown following Friday’s historic win over No. 4 Stanford.
“We’re a little bit more mature than that right now,” she said.
Not quite.
Bogged down by a sluggish first half, No. 13 Arizona was upset by Cal 55-54 on Sunday to close out the regular season.
The Wildcats (23-6, 12-6) missed 14 of their first 15 shots and committed 11 turnovers in the first half, falling behind by 14 in the second quarter.
Arizona finally found their footing late in the period, using a 12-2 run, capped by a Dominique McBryde 3 at the buzzer, to pull within 30-26 at the break.
