Revenge is a dish best served cold...

Also, we were scheduled to have Don MacLean if Bill had been well, so major announcer upgrade.

Fish, we were depending on you man!!!

But for anyone with a VPN, just set it to England or France, and find the PAC-12 International Channel on YouTube, then cast it to your TV. It works really well with no lagging.

I actually like MacLean. He has some really good insights like Bill, but sticks to basketball. He has a lot of respect for Arizona too.

Unlike RJ for UCLA. :D

Matt's a great choice. First PAC player to ever record a triple double in the tournament.

We’re in a tight spot.

The worst place to be in the PAC tournament is to be a team that’s in the NCAAs playing a team that’s not.

But we have the revenge factor going for us.

If I'm USC I employ a 2-3 zone to start. See if Arizona can handle it. Arizona struggles with zones and USC can capitalize if Arizona is having a bad shooting game. USC will have limitless open looks from 3 and they can hit them. I think USC can match Arizona's athleticism as was proven Saturday in the blowout loss for the Cats. Should be a close one but I think USC pulls away late. USC 82 Arizona 72. I really find myself rooting for Bronny James. I mean the kid had a heart attack and came back from it. Not sure if his dad will be there but that would be awesome.

So, I'll say it - today, the 'Cats are playing to keep a #2 seed, and maybe even seeding in the West.

At least SLC pod is a lock.

I think there's zero chance of us dropping to a 3 seed, even with a loss today. Worst case scenario would be a 2 seed outside of the west region.

Our metrics are not those of a 3 seed.
