2007 Pac 10 mens basketball thread

[JaredL]

OK win today by Oregon at Arizona State. I would have liked to see us stay out in front and not let them back into it after being up 13, but an away win the PAC 10 is good. Especially since this had the high potential to be a letdown game. I think ASU will surprise some teams at home this year. The game Sunday should be huge.

WSU had a nice win at Cal. Didn't see it but the scoreline was impressive 73 - 56.

Washington - Stanford just went final. Another loss for Washington.

Right now there are 5 one-loss teams. Should be an excellent season.

Tough to predict right now. Obviously the natural top 2 are UCLA and Arizona, but this year I could see Oregon and maybe even the guys in Pullman winning. Conference champ could easily have 4 losses.

Yep, should be a good season, with 5 teams going to the tourney then going 1-5, leading the rest of the country to tell us how much we suck.

Question for Pac-10/Cal fans.

Leon Powe. Hes received limited minutes for my Celtics, but he was 20/10 in this tough conference last year. I thought he had an Elton Brand type game. What's the scoop on him if youve seen him at Cal?

[Taraz]

Nice win by my boys at Stanford tonight. I thought it was strange that they were favored against Washington, but I guess those handicappers know what they are doing.

With regard to Leon Powe, he was a beast before that knee injury. I only saw him play right after he came back and he was still good, but not nearly the same.

With all due respect, Sunday is a 'kinda' big game. The odds of the ducks shocking UA in Tucson are long. Oregon has a very nice team this year, and I think the game in Eugene will be a very big game for these two schools...as a sweep has been expected most if not all of the last 15 years.

Oregon, WSU, and USC (one upstart I think you're overlooking) are all going to be teams with wins over the big two this year - but thinking Oregon can pull it in back to back weeks is wishful thinking.

Granted, I'm amazingly biased.

So are we still expecting a sweep?

Watch out for Cal's Ryan Anderson this year. He's just a freshman and is currently third in scroing (#1 frosh). He's 6'10 and shoots better than most guards. Combine that with his nice touch around the basket and he's gonna continue being a dominate force in the Pac10.

Here to officially eat crow. I have to admit, all second half I kept telling my wife - eventually they'll miss a couple of these threes they're jacking...but they didn't. Then I said, well eventually we'll out run them if they keep trying to push it on us...but we didn't.

I guess I'm still myopic enough to think we're the better team...but Oregon is even more for real then I thought they were, and the Pac 10 is proving to just be outright brutal this year. I think we could get 6 teams into the dance possibly...and STILL be leaving out a qualified team. (Stanford being the longshot at 7).

Great game ducks...my buddy is an Oregon alumn and he's having a field day with me today.

That was an awesome game to watch. Man the Pac-10 is fun this year.
