***Official Pac-10 Basketball Thread***

Didsy,

My memory may be bad. Especially in Pullman I remember it being a huge turnover fest and generally sloppy game.

Granted, Wazzu were successful with a style that made games look ugly because of the way they play D but certainly that first game was ugly.

There's basketball in the Pac-10? When did this start? Do the Sun Devils have a team? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Unfortunately I live in Pittsburgh so I might not get to see any preseason games. I get a Fox Sports channel that isn't FSNW but some sort of West Coast hybrid. For example they have weekly highlight shows for UCLA and Washington. Annoyingly they don't usually have these shows for Oregon. They show a lot of Pac 10 games so I can watch most of the games on there, some are delayed iirc but I can watch them, but for preseason games especially against crappy teams I don't get them.

Ironically, I am applying for a job as an econ professor at OSU. If I luckbox into that I'll be back in state albeit in a strange situation. I'd be much happier there.

You're aware that with a subscription to O-Zone (through GoDucks.com) you would be able to watch all OSN broadcasts online, either live or archived, right? It's $9.95 a month, or $79.95 a year. I'd consider it pretty much essential to any Oregon fan living out-of-state that isn't completely dead broke. Even down here in Ashland I didn't get the first three games televised, but I saw them anyway, and it was good.

[JaredL]

Nice, did not know about that. While I'm approximately dead broke, I may give it a shot.

How good is the quality?

I can hook my computer up to my tv so if the quality is good that would be fantastic.

edit: Also, what is the deal with not all Pac 10 basketball games going? If it's just games I could get on tv that would be fine.

[BobJoeJim]

Quality is admittedly pretty mediocre. You can route it through the TV, I do when I'm at home for a game, but it's a pretty blocky low-res picture. Still, it's good enough that I'm able to ignore the quality and just focus on the fact that I'm watching an Oregon basketball game [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Thoughts on watching parts of the UW/Utah game last night.

Will Dentmon is still retarded, and needs to lose the t-shirt.

It's nice to see that they found somebody even weirder looking to replace Applebye while he's out.

[WayAbvPar]

Justin Dentmon. And yes, he is retarded and still sucks. Thankfully they have a real PG this year. I think that kid is gonna be good.

[BobJoeJim]

Goodbye Dennis Dixon, you will be missed. Now, on to basketball season!!!

I think you may have been a tad enthusiastic about ASU's chances.

[Semtex]

I think the Pac 10 might have been a wee overrated preseason. USC lost at home to Mercer by 15, Stanford lost at Siena (????) by 12, Arizona lost in a squeaker to Virginia and now ASU got blown out at Illinois.
