Basketball Horsey Douvers: The PAC-10 Conference
With the main event, i.e. the NCAA Tournament, right around the corner, now’s the time to start ramping up your college basketball watching. The PAC-10 conference tournament is conveniently taking place this weekend to mollify your needs.
This year’s regular season champions, UCLA, and last year’s tournament winners, UW, are predicted to be in the championship game on Saturday, but there are at least three other teams with high potential. USC, California and Arizona all hope to knock off the favorites in order to gain an automatic bid to the big dance, much like UW did last year. With such high stakes, all games promise to be hard fought. And what does that ultimately mean? Good news for the fans! (Please forgive me, I watched the Bad News Bears last night.)
Anyway, of local interest, UW will start their tournament tonight with a game against Oregon at 8:50 p.m. Washington is highly favored, but the Ducks, having just beat the only team to sweep the Huskies this year (WSU), are on a high that may make this game tougher than expected. Check it out on FSN.
Holy Hoops, Batman! I love this time of year!
Aaron Brooks is a punk!!! I can’t velieve he follows up an incidental shoulder while bringing the ball from one side of the body to the other with a UFC style elbow. The ducks have no class, I thought it was predominantly in football, but I guess it is in all their program.
Huskies should have won, and I am very dissapointed how they played. They had a 14 point lead and lose it to a team that only really relied on one hot shooter.
Hopefully this will motivate us to work harder come NCAA time.
I just can’t believe that no class act by Brooks still. (Let’s try to forget that he’s a Seattle kid) No class.
Indeed. They’ve been so hot and cold this year. Perhaps coming into the tourny with a bad loss will propel them further.
One can only hope, right?
