PAC 12 thread

I can't find the info anywhere, but why is Andrews out for Portland?

Oregon Ducks pulled away in the third quarter, but let's remember Portland is playing the whole game without their leader and best player, PG Haylee Andrews.

Let’s also remember that they are not a NAIA school where every power five should win by about 60 points over those types of cream puffs.

Ok, if so you say so chief. I agree Oregon State did underperform the expectations of some folks in that game.

But to imply somehow the PG was the difference uhh right. Besides we don’t use the term chief anymore.
 
My take: I'm optimistic that Oregon will be a very good team this season, but not yet. Maybe mid-season or so. Given 8 new players, 7 of whom have never played a college game, as well as the lack of practice time as a team due to all of the COVID-19 restrictions, expecting at this point anything close to the polished machine we saw last year just isn't realistic, and I say this despite the obvious wealth of talent on the roster. The two players who look like they will be getting the most time at the point guard position are (very talented) freshmen (PaoPao and Scherr), Nyara Sabally looks really good (to me) athletically but is clearly rusty after two years of rehabbing, the other freshmen are, well, freshmen, etc., etc. Prince is certainly the real deal, Boley looks like a completely different player (in a good way) from the last two years, and Mikesell will give her a run for her money from outside, but this team is clearly a work in progress, and will be for some time. But once things get sorted, they will be a very tough out.

Hearing OSU WBB has scheduled a game for Thursday, Dec. 3. I believe a West Coast Conference Team.

Stanford WBB program is in a world of hurt given Santa Clara County's latest shut-down to all sports for next 3 weeks. Rumored that Stanford Football Team is relocating to somewhere in the Pacific Northwest (OR/WA). I wonder if the Stanford WBB Program will consider?

I mentioned this somewhere else, but I don't see any other option for Stanford — either relocate or cancel.

As of last night, the Pac-12 site was still showing "TBD" for all conference games on Friday and Sunday except those at ASU and UA. But this morning I see they finally scheduled times for the remaining games, including the two games at Maples vs. WSU and UW. Not sure how they think that'll be pulled off.

I see that the San Francisco 49ers have relocated to Arizona for games over the next two weeks as well as practice. As I understand it the ban is for Santa Clara County and not the surrounding counties in the Northern California area. Certainly makes logistics a challenge for these teams.
 
Stanford will play UNLV in Las Vegas on Saturday, with more info to come on the rest of their schedule. Nice little game for Stanford against someone who knows their lineup pretty darn well in Lindy La Rocque!

So I suppose this means that they're either postponing or canceling their Friday and Sunday games against WSU and UW.

This post to Stanford's website says "alternate dates and sites are being considered".

That's correct! I think they're working on figuring out the best path forward for the Pac-12 as a whole. I think we can expect more information in the next day or so with the path forward hopefully.
 
Well, you wouldn't know it from anything on Stanford's website or Twitter page (their online schedule is showing no changes), and I haven't seen anything official put out by the Pac-12 either, but Washington State announced the "indefinite postponement" of today's game vs. Stanford, and Washington announced that its Sunday game vs. Stanford will be played in Las Vegas.

Arizona State showing off what it does best in holding the Women of Troy to 5 points in the 2nd Quarter and finding some semblance of offense to take a 36-28 lead into the half.

It's notable that USC is without A. Pili tonight. This isn't the kind of game where you want to be without a star. Anyone know why she's out?
 
That's followed up by E. Rogers tweaking her knee. It's not a good night to be a Trojan.

Has she played at all this season? I know she missed a game, I think it was against LMU.

Futher update: Unfortunately WSU cancelled that game after all, as well as their game against Cal, due to too few players available. Washington is still on for Sunday and UNLV Saturday.
 
I think Cal is pretty bad this year, so won't read too much into it, but the Huskies thumped them 80-53. It was close until Q4, Dawgs outscored them 30-13. I'm almost certain that is the biggest winning margin for UW in a conference game during the Coach Wynn era.

She wasn't a big name recruit, but Tameiya Sadler has been consistently good for UW. 20+ in the last 2 games, 8-11 from the floor tonight.

This was a solid defensive effort by the Sun Devils. I do remember last year in Tempe Rogers was a real thorn in the side of the Devils

ASU freshman really played well in this game. This may be the high watermark of the season for ASU at 4 and 0. UCLA is going to be a very tough game and as the pack season unfolds it'll be very interesting to see how the freshman on our roster react.

Simmons continues to impress. My concern is Iris Mbubito who doesn't seem to have progressed much from last year. In particular she continues to turn the ball over (5 times against SC) often at very critical junctures in the game.

CTT is really getting the rotation going. All 10 players played 10 plus minutes. Everyone who played rebounded and aside from Iris turnovers were at a minimum.

I also think Eboni Walker is much more effective coming off the bench. She's got a great motor and like many of the Devils and uncanny ability to hit the offensive boards.

During this rebuilding season CTT is going to have an opportunity to coach up and season the freshman so the future really is looking bright in Tempe.

"The Washington State women's basketball team will not travel this weekend to face California for its season-opening game, Sunday, Dec. 6, nor its following game Tuesday, Dec. 8 against Stanford. Both games have been postponed. The decision was made under the Pac-12's basketball policy as Washington State does not have the minimum number of scholarship student-athletes (7) available for the games due to COVID-19 protocol and associated contact tracing."
