For being mention as a possible 1 seed they sure dont look that good to me........maybe they have just had a few bad games but I keep waiting for them to roll .......they almost lose to Penn State and Indiana........seems they should pretty much handle teams of this caliber if they are possible national championship contenders...
Ohio State has'nt really impressed me much lately.....

all the potential #1s have played like shit.
duke struggled with miami and then wake for 20:00.
uconn got bounced in the quarterfinals.
villanova played one good game, one really bad game.
the sec's #1 team lost to south carolina in the quarterfinals.
really the only team thats been dominant in the conference tourneys (among the contenders) has been ucla.

I think we are looking at 2000 all over again. Totasl bracket chaos. Will have to see the brackets of course, but I wouldnt be surprised at all to see UConn anda 4,7, and 8 or something like that. And somebody is gonna get real lucky and be in a bracket where Gonzaga is a 2 or a 3.
UCLA got to play a so-so Zona squad missing a key player and then Cal coming off of late night double-OT - two nice wins but I wouldnt make too much out of them.

dismantling the Oregon schools, USC, Washington State, Arizona State and Stanford is hardly compelling. UCLA has one good OOC win - against a Nevada team that should have lost tonight. It is the same all around the country. Lots of bad teams and bad conferences and hard to tell how good anybody really is or which one will show up. I could tout Texas' record too and it means little. If the Texas that stomped Memphis on the road or Kansas at home or beat Nova shows up they win it all -the one that lost at Am and Okie State doesnt see the Sweet 16. The champ of the alleged great MVC lost to Monmouth. Duke to Florida State. UConn is far from perfect, but may be the only team that can survive a bad game, although Duke can if they get teh usual officiating.

ask me how happy i am that i got nothing out of my 47/1 oregon ticket for the pac-10. if the fu.ckers don't piss away a 5 pt lead in the final minute of regulation, i could have hedged nicely this afternoon even if the ucla ml was a little pricey. im still seething over the ducks giving that game away. but i digress.
i do agree with sun that top to bottom the pac10 was horrible this year. and normally i really am a supporter of pac10 hoops. that being said, ucla would be solid in any conference. theyre a good team and they play an east coast style (no surprise with howland there). but for stanford to lose to arizona sans adams was pathetic. and washington letting oregon come back from DD sans brooks was equally pathetic.

i was thinking about that ticket as i watched the ducks collapse at the hotel bar last night in la......they definitely should have won that game......but that's been their problem all year.....last minute mental meltdowns
as for the conf as a who.....a pretty poor year.....other than ucla and cal i think everybody else failed to live up to expectiations......
from an arizona perspective it's not surprising: starting with losing channing and salim, to mcclellan being inelliglble early, then getting injured for the remaninder of the season 1 game into his return, to rodgers being dismissed for a month, to adams being suspended for 2 games, to our backup center missing the last 14 games because of injury, to a back-up guard transferring, to disappointing seasons from a few players, to playing the #1 ooc sos.......it's really not a shock that we are where we are.
stanford's collapse was very surprising.....hernandez-haryaza-grunfeld were all seniors (lacking in athleticism really hurt that team).......
uw is one of the most over-rated teams vs their ap ranking and played nobody in their ooc schedule and played them all at home
oregon will always tease with arsenio at the helm
sc probably did better than expected and with pruitt and young they should be much better next year
osu-asu-wsu all stink
