Pac-12 Networks' Ashley Adamson and Mary Murphy discuss the Bruins statement win at Stanford and the significance of UCLA's first Bay Area road sweep since 1999 (4:57). They discuss the Wildcats' bounce-back mentality in defeating Oregon State to notch Arizona's first ever top 10 road win (6:04). The ladies discuss the significance of losing Kennedy Brown for the season due to an ACL injury (8:10) and how it will affect the Beavers moving forward. Mary breaks down Mikayla Pivec's game-winner vs Arizona St with 0.4 seconds on the clock (11:44) and the teachable moment it gave another team.  They also talk Pivec's name being added to the list of Senior CLASS Award finalists after an uproar over her exclusion (17:05). Ash and Mary discuss Oregon remaining No. 3 in the country and Sabrina's reaction to her 24th career triple-double (20:38).

UCLA's head coach Cori Close joins the show (27:00) and shares what made getting conference win #100 in the Bay Area so special. She discusses what it took for her team to defeat Stanford (28:48) and what Chantel Horvat and Lindsey Corsaro bring to the squad (31:00). Coach praises the job Charmin Smith has done at Cal in her first season and how the Bears challenged them (33:17).

Coach Close discusses what teachings she has taken from John Wooden (36:36) and the deeper meaning of why she has a shovel and broom in her office (39:08).  Cori shares how she tries to infuse joy in her players (47:50) and gives a self evaluation in her 26th year of coaching (51:10). 

Mary shares the dancing skills of USC's head coach Mark Trakh she witnessed over the weekend (54:53) and the impressive road sweep the Utes had over the Washington schools (57:20).  Ash and Mary discuss if teams want to avoid the No. 4 seed in the conference tournament so they don't have to play Oregon (58:22) and if anything but a national championship would be a disappointment for the Ducks (1:00:58).
