Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4859746, member: 7492"] I have to say, I enjoyed reading this thread and some of the very strong even if unsupported opinions. As I have stated a few times, with Sling I get the PAC12 network and watch as many of those games on Friday and Sunday as possible and that conference is way, way, way better than any other conference (conversely, the refereeing and tv announcing is way, way worse). Colorado, UCLA are on par with UConn, Stanford and Utah are better than either Creighton or Marquette and slightly lower than CT, UT and CO. USC is on par with the two BE schools as is Oregon State. UCLA has depth this year but unfortunately, they still have Cori Close on the clipboard who struggles with in-game adjustments and performance improvement during the year. She's a great recruiter and WCBB ambassador but there is a reason she hits the Sweet 16 ceiling and has never won a PAC12 title-regular season or Tournament title. The consolation prize of winning the WNIT title in 2015 was nice but it didn't spring board her or her team to greater heights as expected. So color me skeptical on this teams success this year in either PAC12 Tournament or NCAAT. I am in full agreement with [USER=9403]@TheFarmFan[/USER] on her assessment. My eyes also tell me that with the 3 losses in conference play already, this is NOT the same team that beat us in November nor are we the same team that they beat but I am also not naive enough to think we could easily beat them now, we couldn't but we could give them a more representative game and I would be fine being place on the same side of the bracket with UCLA. I also want to throw out support to [USER=378]@triaddukefan[/USER] who seems to get brought into dialogues even when his team is NOT mentioned. Of course my support is conditional that as soon as Duke is mentioned, my ears are attuned and ready for snark.
