Oregon St (7) @ Oregon (4) - 1/24/20

In 24 hours we'll probably be talking about how well they bounced back. It's very, very hard to beat a good team twice in 3 days. It's a fickle game.

A lot of UConn fans protested that headline. I was completely fine with it but it still didn't help UConn against Baylor

Hope that you are correct. OSU could use some confidence going forward. A home win at Gill Coliseum over its in-state rival would help right the ship for the Beavers.

Also Colorado definitely should be in tne tourney if the committee is objective at all.

They might be good enough, but they are lacking quality wins. Look at their schedule. Who is their best win? Wisconsin? Wyoming? Tulane? Utah? Just ain't much there. They're gonna have to beat several of the better Pac 12 teams to even remotely make a case. As is they are in a log jam w/ Utah, Washington, Washington St. and USC in the bottom half but clearly out of the cellar in conference. Arizona was a good team last year but didn't get in the Tourney because they were lacking quality wins.

Yes, agreed. They have a decent W-L record because their nonconference SOS was horribly weak (#273). Currently their only top 100 win is over USC. That won't be enough. They needed that win over Stanford in the worst kind of way. They'll definitely need to score wins over the top 6 in the Pac-12 to get a bid.

Or beat UCLA who they also should have beat 2 weeks back. I hope they get one and upset a ranked PAC12 team since you folks are right they probably need that. Still I see them better than half of the other Power 5 teams that will probably get bids as I look at recent bracketologies.

USC was better than Arizona last year and should ahve made the tourney. They decided not to play the WNIT which Zona ended up winning being the 7th best PAC12 team last year while the 5 who made the NCAA's all got into the sweet 16. That's why I think this year we should get 7 in the tourney.

Better than half? That would mean they're a top 20 team. I don't see them as that.

But that's not how tournament selection works. Each team's resume is judged individually. They don't apportion the bids to conferences as if it were the electoral college.
