    Watching ASU/Cal, they said that if Cal wins, they would be the 6. ASU, as we know can climb as high as 5 with a little help from their friends.

    ASU wins, they finish 9-9 and are likely heading for the 5th seed.

    Cal goes to 7-11.

    Heading into the final game of the night, here's where we stand:

    1. Arizona
    2. Oregon (you're welcome)
    3. Utah
    4. UCLA
    5. ASU
    6. Stanford
    7. Oregon St.
    8.
    9.
    10.
    11. Washington
    12. USC

    Colorado gets the 8 with a win and sends WSU to the 10 and Cal gets the 9, with a loss, we go to the three-way tiebreaker at 7-11.

    Lunardi only dropped us to the 4 line, with the Shockers as the 5. That gives me a little hope.

    Mandel's latest has us as the #6 seed playing Boise St. in Pittsburgh (I'd make that drive) and getting Maryland if we got through them. Delon Wright vs. Melo Tremble would be an interesting point guard match up.

    Same for the matchup vs. Derrick Marks, who was a unanimous choice as MWC POY.

    PG play can take you a long way in the big dance. I hope he rises to the challenge.

    Watching Gonzaga makes me wonder why we've never gone with a bigger lineup and thrown both of our big men out there. I'm sure there's a good reason for it, and we couldn't do it for long, but some combo of Jakob and Bach or Olsen could cause match up problems. Someone set me straight.

    Two things:

    1) Gonzaga's bigs can take advantage of lesser big men, and ours can't.

    2) Gonzaga's schedule is full of lesser big men, and ours is not.

    Fair enough.

    It'd be interesting to see us run a lineup like that out against an Oregon or shoot, even a Washington, pack in the middle and make them make shots from the outside. Then again, we could just get an athletic big man and that would help too! Come on down Maiwen.

    They tried it w/Bach & Jakob. it did not work defensively as neither could guard a quick 4. Plus they get in each other's way on O.
    Rebounding was not much better.
    It flopped each time & Larry K had o call a quick timeout to end it.

    Not sure I saw these posted here. Delon made the Sporting News first team AA and the USBWA second team AA.

    Is one first team AA enough to get his name in the rafters?

    I think we all agree on our gratitude to Larry K and this edtion of the Utes. This bunch of players were great representatives of the U and the program. They played hard, were resilient, never quit -- not even close -- and were classy. They gave us all a great ride -- one we had been missing for too many years.
