ASU holds on, so it looks like it will be Utah in the first round.
I really don't understand the Pac 12 MBB
- How does Utah finish as poorly as OSU this year? I'm guessing Utah fans have similar issues with Larry as some do with WT. They have had a lot to build on, but aren't doing much.
- How does Stanford (likely) finish 500 in conference? They were a team that looked really solid coming into the season. OSU somehow sweeps them. This is a team that waxed OU in the preseason, lost by 1 to Butler, and only other loss was to KU.
- UW opened the season beating Baylor, who has spent a lot of time at #1, yet finishes last in the conference. Yes, I realize they lost a starting pg, but this is not a program that should be one player away (and a player that just transferred in this season) from last in the conference.
- How does UO manage to lose 5 games in this mess of a conference, particularly with a very good senior PG.
- How does UCLA, who was a complete mess, challenge for the conference title on a coaching change year?
- How does Colo and UA, with all their talent, barely manage to go over 500 in conference.
Weird year that seemed like team matchups really made a huge difference. OSU was 4 conference wins from being a top 4 conference team and easily in the Dance, but they didn't find a way - going 2-4 against the bottom 4 in the conference was the difference. Strangely though, most of the conference teams were similarly erratic, and I won't be surprised if no Pac-12 teams are still standing for the second weekend of the tournament.
