UW is back to playing Romarball.

Bryce is 0-11. You know daddy isn't going to tell him to stop shooting, so expect him to finish 3-15.

Sad part is that UCLA needs Bryce at this point

Dead on balls accurate Chi. Ends regulation 3-15. Alford I have to say is nails in crunch time. That was a great shot

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Fri Jan 01, 2016 11:40 pm

Just a great second half and OT's. Terrible in the first half but epic in the second. Andrews vs Alford. Big shot after big shot. Romar's freshman class looks very productive

MrBug708 · Post by **MrBug708** » Fri Jan 01, 2016 11:50 pm

Romar's sytle makes you play ugly and UCLA loves playing ugly and lost

Amazing how much more fun the game became when the refs stopped calling fouls every minute.

Gutty win by Washington. This is going to be one crazy Pac 12 season.

Luck ran out for the Ruins.

Opportunities missed by UCLA and Utah. Backcourt of Murray and Fultz for UW next year.

That USC backcourt looks good.

Going to he tough playing on the road pretty much everywhere. Especially as Arizona since we're the only team that plays in sold out arenas.

I watched the first eight minutes of this game and couldn't make myself watch any more.

We know UCLA's issues, but for those that kept watching the game did UW continue to look as horrible as they did in the first eight? I think when I turned the game UW was shooting about 30% from the field and it looks like they finished at about 36% on 29/80 shooting.

Pac-12 looks like we are back to trying to win out at home, hoping to split on the road.

Teams will be battle tested come March.

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Sat Jan 02, 2016 2:06 pm

UCLA is not a very well coached team. Couldn't believe how many poor decisions they made and still managed to almost win.

You know, though, that any problems they have will magically disappear on Thursday.

Here's hoping Zeus can play slightly more minutes and that we can get at least a split in L.A. That USC game won't be easy.

CatsbyAZ · Post by **CatsbyAZ** » Sat Jan 02, 2016 8:03 pm

Tony Parker looked bored and lost half the time. Zero coaching sense from UCLA in getting everyone on the same page. Washington had a big advantage when it came to out-teamworking UCLA.

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 11:58 am

Pretty big game today for Utah at Cal considering Utah has already lost it's first game of the weekend at Stanford. Hopefully that gives them so extra motivation and helps them knock off the Bears.

Is USC actually better than UCLA this year? For a change, I"m glad ASU has to face them first next week.

USC taking it to UW 66-48

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 2:38 pm

USC is improved... But they lost to the only tournament level team they've played. They have barely played a team with a pulse this year.

UW did not look like a good team to me when I watched part of their UCLA game. Basically in UW I saw some reasonably athletic guys none of which seem to particularly be able to shoot. I think they shot 36% against the defensive juggernaut that is UCLA and today looks like they're shooting around 33% against USC.

Really I could see them shooting in the 30s for all field goals for the totality of the PAC season. And if they do that they're 8/9/10 in the league.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 3:17 pm

USC basketball pulled an Oregon football. Though at least with USC they're not used to these types of games.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 6:23 pm

Oregon State is taking it to Oregon. They look really good, especially Payton. Is Payton good enough to be an all-american?

The Fox Sports guys doing the UA/ASU game sure think so. Only player in the PAC (country?) leading his team in points, rebounds, and assists.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 6:44 pm

I am really impressed with Chris Boucher of Oregon. He seems to have a good all-around game. He is giving Oregon a slim chance to come back.

az91 · Post by **az91** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 7:31 pm

How many years has a Schaftenaar brother been at Oregon State? It seems like it is going on ten years!

Not a great conference start for the Utes at 0-2

Am very unimpressed with the Utes so far......also not that high on Poetl. Zeus and Dusan are both better IMO.

Hes a damn good player. UCLA having a tough time w WSU too. 0-2 start would be cool

You can't win the PAC title on the first weekend, but you can lose any chance at it.

Watching UCLA @ WSU......I'm guessing there is under a 1000 in attendance??? Or am I being too generous? Pathetic:-(

UCLA going to go 0-2 on the easiest road trip.

Yup. Super bowl time when Arizona comes to town. They'll play their best game of the season.

UCLA is 4-14 in their last 18 in Heck Ed while Alford hasn't won in Pullman. We just aren't a good team and are especially horrible on the road.

And yet UCLA handled Kentucky rather easily and beat Gonzaga at the Kennel. Go figure.

I'm sure the Bruins will be at their best Thursday against Arizona. Last year's games were without a doubt the toughest for Arizona, even though they won both meetings.

The schedule is full of Super Bowls

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Mon Jan 04, 2016 9:03 am

UCLA will be just fine on Thursday.

When a middling program comes up against an elite one, the middling usually steps it up a bit.

What a crappy crowd for Oregon vs. a legit Cal team. Is the new arena really that big a turnoff? The Dux used to draw well at the old Pit. What happened to their fanbase? Did the sex assault scandal kill interest? I don't get it, especially after they had a pretty impressive season a year ago considering the circumstances.

Bangkok Wildcat · Post by **Bangkok Wildcat** » Wed Jan 06, 2016 8:56 pm

We are looking at the two teams that will challenge us for the P12 title IMO. Can't wait to play these guys!

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Wed Jan 06, 2016 9:05 pm

I do not like Cal, at least this year. Their heads (the fans) are compressed and they need to be brought back down to earth.

Many older fans do not like the new arena.
The sordid sex scandal turned many others off.
Fans have a difficult time identifying with the short term (transfer) players.

Neither team is playing like it. If they'd just pretend they're playing us we'd have a much better game I bet.
