Arizona women’s basketball has had an impressive season so far, knocking off two top 25 teams.
On Sunday, however, the Wildcats were given a glimpse into the play of a top 10 basketball team, and it was a rude awakening for the team. No. 6 Stanford came into McKale Center and thoroughly defeated the Wildcats 78-48, dropping Arizona to 13-3 overall, 2-2 in Pac-12 play.
Every time the Wildcats would score, Stanford had an answer. Every time the ‘Cats would get a big defensive stop, the Cardinal had one of their own.
“Stanford really had us on our heels,” head coach Adia Barnes said.
