It's Thursday, and you know what that means. It means a new edition of In The Circle with plenty of Stanford flavor. First, Eric Lopez talks with Stanford Head Coach Jessica Allister about the Cardinal 18-4 start to their season as they head into a huge tournament at Mizzou this weekend. Coach also shares what it was like seeing her pitching staff throw three consecutive no-hitters, including a perfect game. She also talks about the Pac-12 Tournament in 2023, her former teammate Jessica Mendoza and more.
 
We also look at the opening weekend of Pac-12 play with Pac-12 Network Analyst Jenna Becerra as we breakdown some of the storylines this weekend. Jenna also shares her keys to the Cal-Washington series she'll be covering this weekend on the Pac-12 Network. 
 
The episode wraps up with thoughts on Wednesday's action, including Florida State's victory, UT-Arlington's upset of Oklahoma State, and Georgia Tech dominating Georgia in Atlanta.
