Other teams are losing to teams they shouldn't. So yes, just winning can improve your seed. Louisville just lost to Georgia Tech. That's the equivalent of losing to Cal.Rutgers lost to Ohio State, etc....

Keep winning and the tide will go out with other teams falling by the wayside. The most important game left on the schedule is Oregon at McKale. That's a high profile win. But all of them matter.

With a loss to...? Oregon? USC? UCLA?

How many bad losses have you said this after now? It's a pattern, not one game.

Even if we do sweep this week (not very likely), we're still not winning the conference, or the Pac 12 tournament, and we're out in the first week of the big dance. And you'll talk about next year, but what exactly is there to look forward to? The slow march to Miller losing his job?

Any takers for 6-0?

I'm thinking 11-7 with pending losses to Oregon, UCLA, and USC. I think we manage to win one game in the Pac tourney and get an 8 or 9 seed in the NCAA tournament. I won't rule out a 6 or 7 seed but our resume is so weak. And of course another one and done. DWWD

I may be in the minority, but losing those three games would be a HUGELY disappointing way to finish the reg season.

I may be wrong but during the UCLA game I thought that crew allowed physical play. Something the Cats were not ready for and couldn’t handle playing through contact. UCLA dominated them. Last night was the complete opposite extreme and the whistle blew almost every possession it seemed. at least the refs were consistent both ways last night. what an absolute 180 in the way the last 2 Arizona games have been called.

You’re not in the minority. He’s just a troll.

If we can somehow go 2-0 this week, we'll put ourselves in the driver's seat for a Pac title and probably get back into the 5-seed discussion. I know these reg season titles don't mean as much as deep tourney runs, but they matter to me.

Same here. I also care about PAC-12 tourney Championship. I want to be optimistic about this week, but man- that UCLA game memory is seared into my brain. I’m hoping that it’s also embedded into the teams memory to the extent that it’s not defeating, but provides enough humility to encourage 100% effort this coming week. Would love to see a home sweep.

The Ono
The top spot on our list goes to a drink that is the reserve of multi-millionaires in Vegas – The Ono. Starting at $10,000, it can be bought at XS at Encore, with popular lore around its name being that it leaves your wallet scarred and broken after buying a bottle of Ono, just like Yoko Ono’s introduction to the Beatles had . While it may be up for discussion whether the $10,000 price tag is warranted for, we can safely say that the drink lives up to the grandeur and luxury that Vegas stands for, with buyers receiving XS cufflinks, and an 18 carat white gold chain with a black pearl, with every purchase. A pretty good deal, we’ll say!

Five Star
Next up on our list is Five Star, comprising of a mixture of Louis XIII Rare Cask 42.6, Benedictine “Black Monk” 500th Anniversary Edition Martini Gran Lusso 150th Anniversary Vermouth and Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 23 Year. It goes without saying that there’s a lot of classy alcohol going into this one, which is perhaps why its $5000 tag per bottle isn’t entirely unfounded. The drink gets its name from the kind of service offered at the Wynn Las Vegas casino, which is five stars all the way!

High Limit Kir Royale
At number 3 on our list we have High Limit Kir Royale, available at MGM Resorts’ Teatro Euro Bar for a whopping $2200 per bottle. Kir Royale is more suitable for those of you who are looking for more fruity flavour for your high end liquor, but before shelling out this amount bear in mind, that people involved in blind testing of alcohol are often Besides being incredibly expensive, Kir Royale is known for offering a delicious taste, unlike many other top-of-the-line drinks. The drink is made out of a mixture of Louis Roedererr Cristal Champagne, Hardy Perfection Cognac and Grand Marnier Cinquantenaire, lending it the class and opulence that MGM stands for.

Fixx Deluxe
While its name might not evoke images of extravagance and luxury, Fizz Deluxe manages dispel all of these doubts with its insane $2500 price tag. It derives its name from the place where it can be purchased – Fizz Las Vegas in Caesars Palace. The recipe for this drink is based on the French 75 drink, made out of Grand Marnier Quintessence and Hennessey Richard Cognac, with additions of lemon juice, egg whites and syrup, with the end result being a cocktail that exemplifies class and luxury.

If you’ve got some good cash to splurge, then you know where to spend it on your next trip to Vegas!

I’ll take a beer. Not beachcat, but I think we are going to scalp. I think the only game that will be tough to get tickets to at a reasonable price will be the championship if we make it. Thursday will be dirt cheap as it is never even close to full from my past experiences. Seems like it picks up on Friday.

Yep. We've got Pac tourney seats. Will have to check on location, though. Think we're gonna be there for Pac tourney and the following weekend for rounds 1/2.
