Bear Down Wildcats

It's almost like...

1. Having Cuonzo as your coach

2. Expecting all your returning players from a crappy team to suddenly form a solid base and

3. Expecting two freshman to take you all they way

...wasn't a very good recipe for success.

And in other news, UW a six point underdog at UCLA tonight

Yep. Once Rabb and Brown and Wallace leave...Cal will be bad again. Their 2016 class won't be nearly as good

Asu demolishing Oregon state so far, up 36-17 at the half

UCLA has tied the game with UW.

awful second half by the romars

and they hold on. 86-84 uw. nice road win for the huskies.

And terrible loss by the Bruins, who drop to 12-10.

That's likely it for UCLA's NCAA hopes

Bobby Hurley making a habit of costing his team late in the game by picking up another T.

Nah.....they will try hard to find an excuse to let UCLA in.....just like last year.

Cal 0-5 on the road in the PAC

Here's how I think the Pac standings end up:

1. Oregon*
2. AZ*
3. USC*
4. Utah*
5. Colorado*
6. UW*
7. Cal*
8. UCLA
9. ASU
10. Stanford#
11. OSU
12. WSU

* NCAA tournament team
# Will they ever fire their coach?

I'm beginning to think that the UW-ASU game may never end with all the fouls being called and monitor reviews.

Refs sure know how to take the excitement out of a tie game.

I want this game to end so I can stop reminding myself I have to root for ASU.

ASU has had three of its eight scholarship players foul out.

Going to OT, LOL!

Yay OT! Wear yourself out UDub!

You've got to be kidding me

Andrews hasn't made a field goal in this game.

Andrews with the dagger?

75 free throws attempted. That's insane.

bah! thanks for nothing, hurley.

go 'rado / ucla / 'tah tonight!

Oregon looking good against CU. Tell me again why we didn't want Dorsey?

I seem to remember Simon didn't want to play with him and staff liked Trier better. Plus he said
he wanted to be a PG, but seems to have accepted an off the ball role at Oregon.

azcat49 wrote:Oregon looking good against CU. Tell me again why we didn't want Dorsey?

Oregon is a good team; Colorado is a fraud. Oregon isn't a defensive powerhouse, but Colorado might end the first half with less than 20 points.

I only get the P12N national feed, so naturally I can't watch the USC/UCLA game they've been hyping for days.

Edit: Guess I read the time wrong, nevermind.

Oregon gave up 91 last time they faced colorado

And?

I don't believe the end of the OSU/Utah game. Utah just made two free throws to be up by 1, OSU has two seconds left and Taylor fouls a guy trying to make a half court shot with 0.1 seconds left. All three free throws are made and OSU wins. Crazy.

Why would you root for Utah? They were ahead of us in the standings until collapsing against Oregon State tonight.

That Oregon PG, someone said he turns the ball over once every 47 minutes? That is unreal. They also had another guy who transfered in from Nova I think that is out for the season.

Might have to put Altman in the recruiting witch category as well

Haden stepping down in June.

Youre kidding me? I fell asleep late in the second half...

Altman's teams are largely built on transfers and he is a guy who will take anyone no matter what their problems are. Oh Wake Forest, you let go of a guy who beat the piss out of his baby's mom in front of the 1-year-old baby and cracked her spine? Thank you. Oh, you're pending a sexual assault investigation over there? We'll take you, no worries. And if you do it again, we will even sweep it under the rug for you.

He's a really good coach but he is a slimeball. You take into account where he coaches too, yeah, not sure he is even close to a witch.

Very Horne-esque

you're right, @az91 - i misread the standings. go 'tah on sunday, instead!

Utah is down to Oregon at halftime. As the season wears on, it looks increasingly likely that Ducks are on their way to the conference crown.

Good gawd, Oregon is number three in the RPI. Are they a Final Four contender?

#11 in KenPom. #21 in Sagarin. (Arizona is #13 in both)

Utah looks like they're already out of gas. This could get pretty ugly.

I'm really glad we don't have to take the Oregon road trip this year. The Rocky Mountain schools have taken a beating there this weekend.

I know it's super bowl Sunday, but you'd think that place would be a bit more full. OSU has things rocking and they're in the bottom half of the conference.

With the win over Utah, the conference is Oregon's unless some like 3-4 collapse to finish happens.

Arizona SHOULD win out.
Oregon has a couple of tough games they could lose.
USC has at least 2 more losses.
Washington will be lucky to win 3 of four - they're out as far as I'm concerned.

There could easily be a three way tie at the top, with Oregon owning the tie breaker over Arizona (and probably USC).

I'm not. I want a another chance at 'em. The PAC-12 champ game is too far away.

Dillion Brooks is the POTY

Aka Ryan Anderson

If AZ were in 1st place, I think RA would get this award. We're not, so sorta think it's Brooks' to lose.

I agree that the best player on the best team should win it and that is why TJ was POY last year. Oh wait
