USC women’s basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb recently talked to P.J. Brown of Tucson.com about her memories of Pac-12 women’s basketball. One of those memories — an obvious point of interest for USC fans who have enjoyed Gottlieb’s remake of the USC program — is of Gottlieb’s journey to the 2013 Women’s Final Four at Cal.
“The next thing that really stands out to me is our Final Four year. I think the one of the things I’m most proud of in my career is going 17-1 in the Pac-12 (in 2012-13) and sharing the Pac-12 title with Stanford. Because the Final Four is amazing, the conference tournament championship is amazing, but those things take a week or two weeks. To run through that conference (was special),” Gottlieb said.
“We played Stanford, like the second or third week. I think we were both 4-0 when we played then they beat us at our place. We ran it back three days later at Stanford and beat them and so we were both 3-1 or 4-1 and I knew we were going to have to win out to win the title and we won every which way.”
We will see what USC does when it enters the Pac-12 gauntlet on December 30 at UCLA.
