I think JR decided this one was over pretty early and chose to play the bench extensively to get them some pac 12 experience and save Lex and Kennedy for Arizona. No doubt after the first 5 minutes our intensity was unacceptable and well below ASUs. Lex played about 7 minutes in the second half and Kennedy played the first five minutes of the 3rd quarter and watched the rest of the game from the bench. They appeared engaged and supportive of thier team. and teammates while sitting longer then I’ve seen in thier time here. Not sure about not having mental toughness after what we’ve seen those two do over the last 75 games.

Absolutely - and it's a "must win" if the Buffs aspire to be playing beyond the Pac 12 tourney this season.
Looks Arizona isn't very good at rebounding this season. My guess is they aren't as disciplined as ASU which works well for the Buffs.
Beyond intensity from the team as a whole, I want to see the veterans produce on both ends of the court, to lead by example.

I would like to see Leonard and Robinson shoot about 17-18 times between them in the first half. Bunn and Robinson need to stay out of foul trouble as well.
Buffs played so much better today. They did have intensity on both ends of the court. They shot well, rebounded well, hit free throws, cut down on turnovers, moved the ball around and played like a team who believes they can win.
Arizona State beat Utah today so went 2-0 on their mountain road trip.
On to the Washington schools.

Today's game was in so many ways the antithesis of Friday night. The Buffs' shot the ball well from the perimeter, rebounded, didn't turn the ball over much. And it helped that Arizona is not even close to the team that ASU is this season. Indeed, the Wildcats look like a good candidate to finish at the bottom of the Pac.
Kennedy, Robinson and Jank all were hitting from behind the arc and it really made a difference. All three are going to consistently be good in this respect for the team to win in Washington.
Boy can Bunn create problems in terms of match-ups. On the flip side she fouls too easily and this sits a lot. Today she only played 18 minutes.
