Barring some unforseen wins by ASU and WSU...UCLA is the likely 10 seed.

I will be surprised if USC is not favored vs. Oregon.

They looked like they woke up a bit last night...hopefully just in time to take down the Ducks.Originally Posted by SeattleUte
Oregon was as impressive last night as UCLA was incompetent. The Bruins had a 7 point lead at about the 10 minute mark and Oregon erased it in no time and looked good doing it and never really looked back. They traded shots for a while, but I never felt like Oregon was in any real trouble.

Are there any seniors at USC for a big senior night lift?
USC only has one SR. He averages 3 min and 1 pt per game.
I realize that I am biased, but I think Brooks sealing the game and the P12 title in the final minutes of the game last night probably locked up the POY for him.
Poeltl is also a great player and most years would probably be almost running away with it.
I think it's at least possible that Poetel gets it off the supporting cast argument...as in Brooks probably has a stronger supporting cast.

There are very few players I've seen at the collegiate level that play as physically as Ryan Anderson. He reminds me a little of Montrez Harrell, but plays under control.

If cal beats AZ tonight I might almost be OK if we lose on Saturday so AZ finishes 5th

most famous Gabe since welcome back kotter
Alright, one final DNF-Atology projection heading into the weekend:
1) Oregon 14-4 (USC is welcome to prove me wrong)
2) Utah 13-5
3) Cal 12-6 (Owns tiebreaker by virtue of win over Oregon)
4) Arizona 12-6
5) Colorado (10-8) vs. 12 WSU (1-17) (vs. #4 Arizona)
6) USC (9-9) vs. 11 ASU (5-13) (vs. #3 Cal) - USC has the tiebreaker with Washington
7) Washington (9-9) vs. 10 UCLA (7-11) (vs. #2 Utah)
8) Stanford (8-10) vs. Oregon St. (8-10)(vs. #1 Oregon) - Stanford owns the head to head vs. OSU (2-0).
Game times:
Stanford @ Arizona - 4:00 PM, ET (CBS)
Oregon @ USC - 4:00 PM, ET (Pac 12)
Oregon St. @ UCLA - 6:30 PM, ET (Pac 12)
Cal @ ASU - 8:00 PM, ET (ESPN2)
Colorado @Utah - 9:30 PM, ET (ESPNU)
As noted previously...Utah will know exactly what it is playing for by the time we tip off, and it will be interesting to see if they come out flat if Oregon wins.

Above all, I'd love to see UCLA pull off the upset Wednesday and get to play them on Thursday. They could still turn things around in their next two games but they have been a tire fire lately and I think that matchup is the best recipe for Utah to roll in their opener. I doubt UCLA can beat the 7 seed.
Of the possible 7 seeds, I least want to see UW. They are good, they are built for tournament play and they nearly beat Utah both times. Utah can win that but it takes everything we've got and then we're in a bad spot against Cal.
I'd love to get Stanford again but it's very unlikely as I think they'd have to win at McKale tomorrow. OSU is probably the best matchup of the realistic options. I think Utah will have a little chip on their shoulder after the way things ended in Corvallis. I'm unsure on USC. I need to see how they look against Oregon tomorrow to decide if they've pulled out of their slump or if they're simply a team that peaked in January.
This is a weird post and I disapprove of it. What we should want is for us to beat Colorado and for USC to beat Oregon. PERIOD! We shouldn't prefer that the Utes lose so that Arizona gets 5 seed to improve our matchups in the tournament. A Pac 12 regular season championship has a lot of value.

Here's where things get interesting...
If OSU beats UCLA, and USC loses to Oregon, OSU vaults up to the 6 seed based on tiebreakers. In that scenario, USC drops to 7 and Washington drops to 8.
If USC beats Oregon, it is still the 6 with Colorado winning the head to head (assuming we beat the buffs)
If Stanford somehow beats Arizona, Washington would be the 6th seed due to a three way tiebreaker with USC and Stanford, the Cardnial would be 7 and USC would drop to 8.
I think I got all those tiebreakers right.
Bottom line...I don't want to be the 3 seed, last year that game didn't tip until around midnight Eastern.

Pretty sure most of the scenarios have been covered, but just to summarize:
The only we don't get the 2 seed: Utah loses, Cal wins, Arizona loses. We would get the 3.
There are 8 possible scenarios for the 7 seed. Of those 8: 4/8 has UW getting the 7, 2/8 OSU, 1/8 USC and 1/8 Stanford.
If we (like I have) assume that Stanford won't beat Zona tomorrow, then there are 4 scenarios for the 7: 2/4 UW, 1/4 OSU, 1/4 USC.
DNF outlined the path for USC to get the 7, here it is for OSU: OSU beats UCLA and USC beats Oregon. This leaves OSU and UW tied at 9-9, OSU wins the tie-breaker (H2H). That, IMO, is the ideal (realistic) scenario.
USC at the 7 is interesting because you get them against UCLA, and they swept the season series...so the bruins might have revenge on the mind. Either way, a slugfest.
I'd love to see Washington fall to that 8/9 game because I think Andrew Andrews vs. Dillon Brooks would be really entertaining basketball...and for some reason I think the Huskies have the potential to get hot and knock a higher seeded team off and I don't want that to be us (am I crazy?).

One more thought on the Beavers. They need this UCLA win and probably need to beat their first round opponent to in order to get into the field (depending on what the bubble does). Right now Lunardi has them as one of the last four in playing Connecticut in Dayton.

I agree with UW, but I think I'd rather play them than USC. I know USC hasn't been good on the road or lately, but I still think they're the better team.
How I'd rank the possible 7 seeds (from teams I want to see to the teams I'd least want to see):
Stanford, OSU*, UW, USC
*should note that the Beavs might be without Tres Tinkle in the Pac-12 Tourney (injured foot)
Key word "ALMOST"

Dang. We've been so so close to conference titles in football and now in basketball. Not sure when the time will be so ripe again.
Interestingly enough, Larry said that they were more focused on winning the league tournament. Now, maybe that's because the regular season writing is on the wall.

7 point game at the half with the Ducks up. Meanwhile, Zona up 16.

Lights out was a good break. The Ducks were rolling. This game is far from over.

When he was hit by an inadvertent USC elbow.
"Don't apologize; it's not your fault. It's my fault for overestimating your competence."
So tiebreaker scenarios: OSU, USC, and UW knotted at 9-9. Isn't first tie breaker composite record against the 3 teams tied:
OSU: 2-1 (1-0 vs UW, 1-1 vs USC)
USC: 2-2 (1-1 vs UW, 1-1 vs OSU)
UW: 1-2 (1-1 vs USC 0-1 vs OSU)
That should give OSU the 6 seed.
Then you compare USC/UW head to head, which was a split,
so then record vs Oregon. USC 0-2, UW was 0-1. I don't think that they would give it to UW simply because they played oregon only once.
vs Utah: USC 0-1, UW 0-2 See above
vs Cal: USC 0-1, UW 0-1
vs AZ: USC 1-1, UW 0-2
So, as long as I am not wrong about the 0-2 vs 0-1 debate, then:
OSU 6th seed
USC 7th seed
UW 8th seed
Am I right?
