UCLA beats Stanford 79-69

[Zinethar]

Wow. There is a bloodbath going on in the PAC-12!

 

[willtalk]

Not a surprise to me. I thought UCLA might beat them. Stanford is not consistent enough and in the Pac 12 there are plenty of good teams to make you pay if you do not bring your A game every night.

Oregon State came back and beat Arizona State at the buzzer.

The NCAA tournament is going to be fun!!

A PAC-12 color commentator wondered if the Final Four might be a repeat of the PAC-12 end of season tournament. That’s home-towning. Still...

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Tremendous talent throughout the Pac-12. Not just Stanford anymore. And not just Stanford and Oregon, plus other good teams. Tremendous talent from top to bottom!

They haven't won the conference regular season title since 2013-14. Pac 12 has had 3 other teams in addition to Stanford make the Final 4 in that time frame. The "not just Stanford anymore" thing is not exactly new, it's been happening for a while now. Assuming the current standings hold, a team from the state of Oregon will have tied for or won outright the conference title 6 years in a row.

It will be fun, but watch out for those “dark horses”. They can ruin what is otherwise a beautiful day, and a great run through the tournament.

Obviously, UCLA must not have shown up.

Huh? UCLA got a big win on Friday.

That's what I meant. I should have said "interesting?"

It will be both interesting and fun.

Be interesting to see how well teams can sustain. Washington and Washington State have dropped off since their run. Stanford has been around for 30+ years, but none of the others has yet to last beyond a single 'spurt' often just a single 4 yr. class.

I'd disagree with that. UCLA is a couple years removed from Canada and Billings now and still doing fine, ditto for Oregon St. w/ the Weisner/Hamblin class and then Wiese a year behind them.

Washington and Washington State have dropped off since their run.

I must have missed Washington State's run. I'm fairly sure they've never had one. To say Washington has dropped off is being kind. Dropped off a cliff, into oblivion.

Potentially, could have 2, 3, or even 4 Pac 10 teams in the FF. Thats how good the conference is. Reminds me of the men's Big East heydays in the 80s. I know one year they had 3 BE teams in the FF, and a 4th nearly made it.
