Arizona Women's basketball picked to finish 5th this season by the coaches in the PAC12 Conf.
Is Adia Barnes a flash in the pan coach?

The Pac-12 will be the best conference in WBB this season. I wouldn't be surprised if 7 schools make the tourney.
Arizona will always be relevant under Adia but we need to establish the PG position. If Shaina proves to handle the ball as well as she defends...we'll finish in the Top-2/3...and likely make another deep run in March.

I was going to start a new thread but it's fun to see how the media perceives that Lady Cats throughout the season. It only took ONE week for ESPN to slide Arizona in as the best Pac-12 team in the power rankings.
Hopefully, the momentum continues. There's no way that we finish 5th in the conference...
PAC WBB is certainly tough, but I agree that unless something goes awry we won't finish that low.
