Around an hour after losing the biggest game of her coaching life, Adia Barnes could hear her daughter crying. Arizona's coach was sitting in a news conference room at the Alamodome, answering question after question about a devastating loss. Her Wildcats had fallen to Stanford on Sunday night, one point short of a national championship. Her voice was hoarse. Her emotions were drained. Her players were in tears.
But her daughter, Capri, had something else on her mind.
Capri is 6 months old – and was, as Barnes said, "ready to feed."
Over three magical weeks, Barnes engineered a stunning NCAA tournament run.
