2007 Pac 10 mens basketball thread

[trying2learn]

luckily, the huskies like to play in a style that i think helps us...but we'll see.

WSU needs to just make sure the dud's in phoenix don't upset them now...it almost happened to Oregon.

Look to see Oregon swept this week by the Washington schools (provided Hawes is back), then see them swept in LA next week. Oregon will be 6-5 or 7-4 in conference on Groundhog's day. But that's pretty good for the Pac 10.

I just wanted to gloat. I was rooting pretty hard for the Ducks today. Seemed entirely unable to sink a 3 at the end. Brooks seemed off all game. So many times he drove to the basket and threw up a high-arcing prayer that hit nothing but glass. They'll get a win on Thursday vs. ASU at home, then vs. Arizona at home next saturday should be interesting. I count only 2 or 3 more losses for the Ducks at most. I'd expect them to finish the Pac10 season 12-6 (currently 7-4).

Very prophetic. Before the game I had read a column in one of the Seattle papers talking about how the Cougs really hadn't put up a stinker yet in Pac-10 play, which is bound to happen. There it was I guess. That 2nd half was sick, every shot was rolling in and out of the rim.

BUT - these are the games that good teams come through to win, so it was great to escape with a win. Stanford this week will be a very tough game for them.

GO COUGS

Didn't see the game but what a crappy second half, WSU had 12 and ASU had 23. I mentioned earlier (OP maybe) that I think ASU has the team to surprise a team or two and I could still see that happening. Oregon only beat them by 5 or so and somewhat pulled away late.

BTW anybody remember a team losing by 47 in Pac 10 play?

Notes on ASU/WSU

Baynes might be the worst player ever. We're horrible with him on the floor.

ASU has one good player (Pendergraff), he's pretty good.

USC's real good. I whiffed on my suspicions about UO and how they were one of the top two teams in the conference (although on the other hand I was correct when I said that when I expressed hope, they'd be sure to let me down), but I stand by my statement that USC is better than they are being given credit for. UCLA, USC are 1/2 imo (sorry Wazzu).

USC/UCLA is a good one on FSN prime tik...
