The Buffs will finish with the best regular season record in the Pac (with one loss) if they beat the Ducks tomorrow. (Assume after sweeping the Cardinal (2 losses) CU may have technically already clinched the Pac regular season title via tiebreaker?)
The Buffs were down against the Ducks in Eugene through early in the 2nd half in the 1st meeting this season, so hopefully the Buffs will bring their "A game" and not be looking forward to the Pac tournament. (Depending on how the bracket is set up, assume the odds are that the 4th place Ducks will also be the likely 1st opponent the Buffs face in the tournament.)
