A little reading on the start of Pac-12 play last weekend for those who like to keep up.

I was a little surprised that Colorado was able to go to Utah and get the win, but Utah, who looked like a rising program mid season last year, has really gone down hill, despite having some young talent. Both teams will be a nice test for the Beavs getting ready for the big road trip to the Arizona teams.
I was not surprise that Arizona won on the road at Arizona State. What was a little surprising was that even with McDonald in foul trouble, the Wildcats were a plus 2 in 9 minutes that she was on the sideline. All of us who were impressed with Cate Reese last year and seeing her growth from freshman to sophomore, are looking forward to seeing the same from Taylor and Kennedy next season.
UCLA just continues to get better, and their young players are getting good experience and showing they have some talent. It's going to be real fun this weekend as Arizona and Arizona State hit the road to play the LA schools. I'm really interested in the outcome of the Arizona at UCLA game. In my mind, if Arizona can prove the can play on the road without losing their composure, this should be a really good game. Either way, expect a huge crowd for Arizona's home games next week against oregon and Oregon State. The Beavs will be facing their first loud opponent crowd this year. How will the freshmen do in that environment? We'll find out soon enough.
