Adia Barnes been in almost the exact same situation Arizona is facing when it takes on No. 2 seed Maryland on the Terrapins' home court in second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Pick a scenario and Arizona’s everywoman — head coach and mother of two young children — has experienced it.
In UW’s matchup with Maryland, now WNBA champion Kelsey Plum, the all-time NCAA scoring leader , put up 32 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished seven assists to lead UW to a 74-65 victory. Plum had a lot of help from Talia Walton , who had the dagger 3-pointer; Chantel Osahor’s 15 rebounds; and stellar defense from Alexus Atchley and Katie Collier to hold the Terrapins 19 points under their average.
Then, most thought she was undersized to play at the next level. She just shook off the naysayers, won the 2004 WNBA championship with the Seattle Storm and is a member of the All-Decade Team. Plus, she had a long professional career overseas. As part of her message to her team leading up to the matchup, she has shared her experience taking down a No. 2-seeded Maryland team seven years ago in this same arena. It starts with: “It doesn't matter what your seeding is.”
She replaces Lindsay Whalen, who left the job after the Gophers’ loss in the Big Ten Tournament. Whalen was coach at her alma mater for five seasons and has stayed on at the school as a special advisor to the athletic director.
