Every season is a new one, but if Oregon ever got bounced tomorrow, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be a Pac team squarely on the bubble next year alongside an ACC team

Spent the evening at the Pepsi center and man oh man, Utah was bad tonight. The Zags just pummeled them. Arkansas Little Rock just did not have enough legs for tonights game with the Cyclones. They looked tired and could not match the intensity

Yes, in fact, you are talking about "one game", just a series of them. Don't recall you beyotching about the Pac when a Stanford team (one the Buffs beat a couple of times) ended up in the Sweet Sixteen or UCLA last year. Match-ups and hot streaks.....that's why they call it March Madness! Capice?
Its why Warren Buffett's billion dollar prize for a perfect bracket will never be claimed by a human.
You know anyone that had Mid.Tenn.St. over Izzo-led, "why aren't they a #1 seed?" favorite MSU? No, you don't, so stop whining.
So trends should be ignored at the end of the season on a neutral court. Gotcha.

At least we're not Michigan State. Talk about your overseeded team. And they fooled everyone. Clearly. We were an 8 who lost to a 9. Those games are supposed to be a flip of the coin. Supposed to be the most evenly matched teams in the entire tournament, and we lost within striking distance, led over half the game. Same with USC. Cal doesn't count due to injuries and off-court stuff. Utah at least won a game (but we knew they weren't that good; those were our two worst losses of the year in my opinion). The only real ***hole team in the PAC turned out to be Arizona, in the end.

We can argue about whether PAC 12 failure in the tournament means the conference is weak, but the national perception is the real concern. 7 teams seeded 8 or better and only 2 win the first round, only 1 left now to contend for a second round win. The perception is that too many P12 teams were in the tournament. Whether this carries over to next year's selection remains to be seen, but it's a risk. Better hope Oregon gets deep in the tournament to help counter the situation.

All the armchair analysts who didn't watch a single Pac 12 game all year coming out in droves to say "see, I told you so!"
While the Pac has had a disastrous tournament thus far, some people are just too stupid to be alive.
I hope Oregon comes out and makes a run so they can all go pound sand

Seems useful but they are popular with the scheduling crowd. It's helpful even if we lose because there will be constant checks on "quality opponents" and our doing well in P12 will be recognized.

i know we are all happy as clams that we aren't associated with Stillwater and Manhattan Kansas......and get to pretend big wig around with Stanford and UCLA types....but the Big XII is and has been a much better sports conference. Utah is winning games in Pac football and basketball.
And BCS bowl games before that...

Perhaps Tad can use this current prevailing sentiment that the P12 is weak as a sales point to get some of these remaining NCAA teams of substance to come to Boulder for a home and home for the OOC.

On the not-taking-care-of-the-basketball front: holy cow, Iowa.
After a wild and exciting first 2 days of the tournament the 2nd round has featured mostly blowouts so far.
Typical. The high seeds that get out of the 1st round get their sea legs and talent usually takes over
Walkup with 3 fouls but they just put him back in. SFA needs to keep this to single digits
He's a smart player, 3 fouls with under 7 minutes is not a huge risk now, and ND isn't doing much to try to attack him.

Heck of a game. Anyone not watching who enjoys a fair possibility of ND losing should tune in now.
