Pac 12 tourney

[nwhoopfan]

Good point, but we SEC fans didn't raise the issue. It came up in comparison to Oregon.


Everybody else, let's take the pro/anti Tennessee seeding to the SEC thread.

Correct, but it was starting to take on a life of its own and a major thread derail.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona's late season swoon continues, while UCLA helps out their resume.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well, it's what I thought earlier in the season. Arizona had a bunch of nice pieces that just didn't fit together. Fields and Loville in particular didn't really bring the scoring punch I thought they could've.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Paopao and Rogers have scored 43 of Oregon's 65 points, needed more help. Stanford about to advance. Brink w/ a double/double.

65 to 76 About the range around 10 I was hoping realistically for at this point.


Update post game: BTW, Charlie Cremes opinion is Oregon is one of last last four in per Elise Wooward, Pac-12 network announcer. However, we will see.

At the risk of jinxing Wazzu, the Coogs leading Utah 53-41 with at end of the 3rd quarter in which they outscored the Utes, 27-11.

 

[southie]

Down go the Utes, 66-58, in the quarterfinals. Does that cost them a #1 seed?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Looks like Utah had a furious late rally that came up just short. They deep sixed any chance they had at a #1 seed in the Tourney. I figured the Pac 12 tourney would have some surprises.

 

[Topdawg]

I would think a quarterfinals loss should cost them a #1 seed. The loss is to an up ranked team also.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Looks like Pili had a miserable game (3-14 shooting). In fact Kneepkens was the only starter who did much of anything.

I've been watching basketball all day, and the highlight of it all was watching Washington State's team come up to the interview table singing "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" as the song played over the PA system.

 

[SECbbfan24]

The conference tournaments have been something else so far. Lots of bracket busters

That sounds like it was really cute. I'd better go undelete the recording on my DVR and watch it. (I deleted it right after the final buzzer.)

Maybe they saw Shania Twain live here in Vegas.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Man...Colorado and Oregon St. are about even in personal fouls committed, but FT attempts is 22-4 in favor of the Buffs. Seriously?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Colorado wins 62-54. Day 2 is in the books. For all the close games and a few surprises, semi-finals have the 1, 3 and 5 seed, plus the 7. You can hardly call UCLA over Arizona an upset.

Arizona not fair to judge them when Lauren Ware went out. I do have a critique of Barnes, and a lot of fans have said this why she doesn't play her bench. Wasn't Maya Nnaji a top 10 recruit? Why does she play so little? When she plays it seems like the offense wakes up.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Martinez was way more productive than Ware. I don't think it was that big of a loss.

The bigger issue is why didn't they get more scoring out of players who were proven scorers elsewhere.

Depends on what happens in other tournaments, but it squarely puts them below Stanford assuming the Card win Pac 12.

Looking at the other contenders:
LSU-if they beat South Carolina, they get #1 (odds of happening are low IMO, and they still need to beat Georgia/Tennessee to get there)

Maryland/Iowa-if one of them wins out, I think they lock in their spot as the 4th #1. Odds of this happening are decent, but beating Indiana is not going to be an easy task. If Iowa gets to the title game and loses, I think they still could get the last #1, or they'll be the top #2. Maryland is more of a stretch to compete for a 1 with another loss based on NET rating. Whoever loses in the semis is out of contention.

Virginia Tech-I don't see them jumping Utah with their resume.

UCONN-if Fudd returns and the committee throws them a hail mary it could happen. Unlikely though. Plus they still need to win the Big East.

How in the world do the refs blow that call after reviewing it? It was clearly off of Rice.

yea I said in chat that. sad the game was decided on that

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well, Stanford was really bad in the 2nd half. Pac 12 had 2 potential #1 seeds, and both of them probably gave away the chance. Great job everybody.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow, Rice has these refs in her pocket. Carried the ball, instead they call a foul.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I mean, Stanford kinda earned a loss with their play down the stretch, but the refs absolutely gifted this to UCLA.

She carried it after she was fouled.
