the win preserves usc's rpi and marginally helps us since we lost to them earlier, but a 'rado victory last night would have been a nice assist. cu will likely close out at 1-3 (although who knows which ucla team will show up saturday) and are less likely to challenge for the title whereas sc's remaining games are tossups, including their final game at home vs. oregon which we may need them to pull off in order to edge out the ducks in the conf standings.

Too bad UCLA couldn't defend the home court against Utah. Meanwhile, UW and Cal in a tight one in Seattle.

That Cal vs UW game was just hard to watch. Two of the most poorly coached teams you'll ever see.

Utah is playing well. Next weeks road trip will be tough one.

Going to be interesting next week as we have always shut down Loveridge. Now there is no RHJ or SJ to be that guy. Can Tolly get out on him and be that guy once again?

Utah just swept the L.A. schools on the road. Pretty sure we're going 1-1 this week.

Utah was swept by Oregon so I doubt they win the 1 seed in the conference tournament but now their last 3 games are at home. They sweep those they are probably co-conference champs.

Yep. I definitely did not expect Utah to sweep the L.A. trip, and it's making me less confident that Oregon will drop one in L.A. It sucks that we need help from other teams, even if we win out. OR is the only team who controls its fate.

Utah 30 Scummies 2

A little late, but

Anyone else a little worried about Saturday? Not really feeling like our guys are up for this one.

Halftime

Utah 44
ASU 10

Arizona is going to lose, nothing to be worried about

Yeah, was about to post the same....WOW.....we'd better get our shit together really quickly! Bear Down.

Cal looks good. But its a home game...

Be a team to watch in the Pac 12 tourny tho. They show they can start clicking on a neutral floor, look out

It's been awhile since i've seen a team just get stomped out like this

Utah is going to stomp us Saturday

i just noticed the score... good lord 'tah is putting a whooping on asu. looks like othercoachk's starters will be well-rested for saturday

ASUHATER! wrote:Utah is going to stomp us Saturday

Yep! Might as well just forfeit and get any early flight home.

ASUHATER! wrote:Utah is going to stomp us Saturday

Can't tell if serious.

Either way, confidence in this AZ teams seems pretty shaky at the moment.

My confidence in PJC and Tolly is pretty low......they really don't appear to be 'Arizona Good' at this point. York is streaky but if he holds to the 'catch and shoot' role and has a good game, then I think we can win....assuming we have decent PG play.

I think our front court play their hearts out and have a great game....As a Ute, I would be worried that they get over-confident seeing our sucky loss to a very mediocre CU team.

i am very interested to see how this team reacts to the CU loss.....it could very well be that 'PGU' just doesn't have good enough talent in the backcourt to win it though.....I suspect we will live and die by how York plays.

It is a well-deserved lack of confidence.

PAC is just amazing. Larry Scott has to go.

Good article here on it: http://zonazealots.com/2016/02/26/pac-1 ... ficiating/" target="_blank

Unreal. What the hell do we have to do to get this motherf---er out?

meanwhile, back in larry scott's office...

CAL is kicking the crap out of USC right now......put ream better be prepared when they visit or it could be ugly.....

Did Scott's office ever do a damned thing about Bobby Hurley's temper tantrum?

After all, wasn't he going after the refs then?

Larry Scott is such a corrupt, spineless excuse for a commissioner. Total bureaucrat that is driving all the upper-level athletic talent and coaching out of this conference.

Agreed catgrad97.....he's a real POS! If he ends up driving CSM away, I'm going to really lose it!!!

Which upper level coaching has he driven out?

Does any other Pac-12 fanbase, except Arizona, complain about Larry Scott?

Has Larry Scott ever been to a home game in McKale?

Merkin wrote:Has Larry Scott ever been to a home game in McKale?

I saw him and Byrne at Championships across from McKale before a home game probably 3 years ago. I assume so

KaibabKat wrote:Does any other Pac-12 fanbase, except Arizona, complain about Larry Scott?

USC fans feel like he should have done more about the sanctions

Oregon clinches the pac 12 title (at least a share). Will be outright champs if Colorado beats Utah and Cal loses to us or Asu. First pac 12 title in 14 years for Oregon.

furd's starting pg suspended indefinitely. hope we blow them out on senior day and enter the pac tourney with confidence

Do we want the three or four seed (one and two are out of reach)? Would we rather face Utah or Oregon in the semis?

Just read in the game recap that Cal holds the tiebreaker over us for P12 tourney seeding....how is that possible please?

"Tie-Breakers: Tie breaking procedures for determining all tournament seeding will be:
1. Two-team tie
a. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season.
b. Each team’s record vs. the team occupying the highest position in the !nal regular standings, and then continuing down through the standings until one
team gains an advantage.
When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that
group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams.
c. Won-lost percentage against all Division I opponents.
d. Coin toss conducted by the Commissioner or designee."

We're 0-1 against Oregon, Cal is 1-1 vs. Oregon. There's the tiebreaker

Thank you Sir! Much appreciated.

Frickin' unbalanced scheduling sucks......although we might have got our butts kicked had we played at OU this year

Yeah basically we're either the 3 or 4 seed. Chance at the 5th seed if we lose to Stanford and Colorado wins at Utah. But most likely 3 or 4. All depends on us vs Stanford and asu vs Cal.

thanks for the clarification, @asuhater.... as for your earlier Q, as things stand right now i think a 4-seed works if we want to see maximum revengeball and be on the receiving end of some very favorable matchups if there are upsets:

#9 uw vs. #8 'furd ---------- winner plays #1 uo
#12 wsu vs. #5 'rado ------- winner plays #4 UofA

#10 ucla vs. #7 osu -------- winner plays #2 'tah
#11 asu vs. #6 usc --------- winner plays #3 cal

Yeah we could have a Colorado/Oregon/Utah run...who we're 0-3 against.

ASUHATER! wrote:Yeah we could have a Colorado/Oregon/Utah run...who we're 0-3 against.

1. neutral court / McK north
2. avenge losses
3. going into the ncaa tourney, there's more upside to wining those revenge matches / less downside to losing 'em

I'm going to go ahead and turn this into a jinx post as I don't want UCLA to fire one of the better rape apologists in the league.

I can't believe the Beavers are beating UCLA by double digits at Pauley in the second half! Everyone turn it on and watch the Beavers finish them off!!

Oregon State 86, UCLA 82 @ Pauley

There's one stat in this game I just love, love, love. Bryce had no fouls called on him for the entire game (35 min played). That's just

Take a look at the box score. Take a look at all the fouls the refs were calling on the other players.

Bryce's jersey...clean.

Colorado up 12 on Utah w nine min left. Utah looks like shit.

A Loveridge banked in 3 is what completely swung this game. Also, Poeltl is the pac 12s golden boy. That dude has been getting away w a ton of fouls out there tonight, just like against us. Zeus cant even sneeze in front of a ref

Can't wait to play crying Tad and work the buffs
