Great post. Will promote to article.Originally Posted by CVilleBuff
Arizona gets a huge win at Stanford today, so they completed the sweep in the Bay Area. Cats move to 7-4 in the Pac and keep themselves alive in the race, Stanford drops to 6-5. Going to be a huge game for the Buffs in Tucson on Thursday.
You might want to check out what happened before you declare the coach wrong and Gutierrez right, then. Gutierrez flew off the court into the UA bench after a loose ball (nothing wrong with that). Landed next to/across the UA assistant, whose flailing arm and leg made contact with Gutierrez (given the situation, if any of it was intentional it was a hell of an athletic move by the coach, and still didn't amount to more than a swipe). Gutierrez then went nuts, got in the face of the UA bench, incited a bench clearing situation, the game came to a stop for several minutes to calm him down. You may admire that reaction, most of us some to consider it hot headed douchbaggery deserving of at least a technical, if not an ejection.
12-PAC here we come!!
In November how many of us would have predicted that at this point in this season CU would be in the thick of the conference title hunt? Sure the conference sucks. Still... Go Buffs!
"I wasn't too impressed with Lincoln," Parsons said. "I mean, I guess when you compare it to Boulder, not many things compare..."
IMO, Arizona is the team to beat in the Pac12- just beat Stanford on the road.
UNLV #15 losing to Wyoming in 2nd.
Wyo would help us out quite a bit
For what it's worth, they pulled out the win. Slight bump for us maybe.
Beavers bounced back and won big in Salt Lake today. Beavs move to 15-8 (5-6). They look like they might be NIT bound, which would be a huge step forward for that program.
UCLA gets a narrow win in Pullman. Bruins move to 13-10 (6-5), Cougs drop to 12-11 (4-7).
As expected, Cal killed hapless ASU in Berkeley, so Cal moves to 18-6 (8-3). Devils fall to 7-16 (3-8). Sendek is fealing the heat.
As mentioned earlier, Arizona got a huge win in Palo Alto that keeps them alive and well in the Pac12 race. The 'Cats are still very much on the outside looking in at 16-8 (7-4), but they're now within reasonable striking distance. Stanford falls to 16-7 (6-5), and this loss today realistically ended their hopes of winning the Pac.
CU needs to win tonight.Kill the dux
As for UW, I'm pretty nervous. U$C has taken 3 of the last 4 in Seattle and seems to have UW's number. Doesn't matter if they are putrid this year. Wilcox is still recovering from a stress fracture and Wroten's status is still unknown (thigh injury against UCLA)... It's definitely T.Ross time if we hope to win tonight.
As bad as this conference is, the parity is making for a heckuva February
Cal, UW, CU and Arizona still all have a very good shot at the title going into the second half of conference play...
Udub now killi' $c. On a side note, Andre getting a lot of love from the announcers, calling him one of the best in the conference and the west. Part of a super-sophomore class in the 12PAC.
We should have listened to Colorado fans.
Pac-12 Standings
TEAM CONF OVERALL Washington 9-2 16-7 California 8-3 18-6 Colorado 8-3 16-7 Oregon 7-4 16-7 Arizona 7-4 16-8 Stanford 6-5 16-7 UCLA 6-5 13-10 Oregon State 5-6 15-8 Washington State 4-7 12-11 Arizona State 3-8 7-16 Utah 2-9 5-18 USC 1-10 6-18
Take a step back and soak in those standings, Buff fans. It's February now, and our Buffs are in the thick of it to potentially win the Pac12 in year 1!!
First and foremost, this was just an absolutely crucial win for the Buffs tonight. This win tonight has brought possibilities of things no Buff fans have dared to imagine. These upcoming 3 road games are obviously huge.
Conversely, this is a rough loss for Oregon but not the end of the world. They fall to 16-7 (7-4), but they now return back to Eugene to play Wazzu and Washington. Win those two, and UO is still big in the picture.
Washington took care of business over hapless USC tonight, so the Huskies remain in 1st in the Pac at 9-2. The Huskies trip to Oregon next week should be interesting. However, if the Huskies can sweep the Beavs and Ducks, they will be in the drivers seat
Cal killed hapless ASU, so the Bears are even on 8-3 with the Buffs in 2nd place. They have a tricky trip to UCLA looming next week, however, and it's important to us that the Bruins win that one for us.
The team to watch right now is Arizona. They got the sweep in the Bay Area last weekend, which has saved their season. Left for dead at 5-4 last week, those wins at Cal and Stanford now have the 'Cats within striking distance. Needless to say, CU's game down there on Thursday will be intense.
Great update, thanks. Hey you, PAC 12. The assholes are here, and we came for your booze, women, and basketball title.
**** the bitches' dogs!

5. Colorado could win the Pac-12. The thought may have sounded crazy entering the season, but at 8-3, the Buffaloes and Cal are just one game behind league leader Washington (9-2) in the league standings. Colorado and Washington each play five of their final seven games on the road. The Buffaloes, though, get the toughest two teams remaining on their schedule (Cal and Stanford) at home. Colorado touts one of the nation's top rebounders in Andre Roberson, who averages 11.2 boards per game. Guard Carlon Brown, who began his career at Utah, leads the Buffaloes in scoring with 12.9 points per game.
