Washington State coach June Daugherty spent 22 years coaching women’s basketball in the Pac-12 and she’s never seen the conference this competitive.
Last season the Pac-12 emerged as the best conference in the country with five teams advancing to the NCAA tournament, four to the Sweet 16, three to the Elite Eight and Washington and Oregon State making it to the Final Four.
“Looking at the returning players, obviously the great coaches in this league, the success that we had last year, and obviously the newcomers in the league, it’s going to be even better,” Daugherty said.
