Thanks for posting, grey. Lots of interesting matchups there. Both the ducks and Stanford set to play South Carolina. The pac-12 needs to win those games. Arizona playing Texas will give us some insight as well. UCLA versus UCONN. There are some tough matchups coming.
Not exactly Pac12 related, but in a game that had several players the Beavs recruited, UCONN won at home today against Arkansas by 15. UCLA gets the chance to take of UCONN before Pac-12 season begins.

Reading that article made me go look at Stanford's schedule and they aren't messing around. Someone smarter can tell me if the NCAA tournament seeding will look at their schedule, assuming they win some (most) of those tougher games, and jump them over teams with relatively weak opponents even if they win out. Ya wonder what Tara is thinking there...or not. gostanford.com/sports/womens-basketball/schedule |

Man, did I understate this "Stanford playing Texas at noon on ESPN, maybe a little competitive?" It was close, but I though Stanford would win , no problem. Is this the first Pac-12 loss so far? Arizona St. lost to Minnesota, in overtime I think. Not sure if there are any others. |

Brutally ugly, but a big win for UA. Their guards REALLY struggled to make buckets. Pellington and Yeaney can get after you on D but struggle on O. Oregon transfer Taylor Chavez is providing them NOTHING in the 2 games I've watched. Maybe the announcers missed something, I didn't hear anything about an injury. Reese missed almost the entire OT. She wasn't in foul trouble. I read once that Reese has type 1 diabetes. Could that be a reason for her brief departures? I keep forgetting about that. I guess it's possible. |

The article says that OSU's only ranked non-conference opponent is Michigan (ranked 10 and 11). Well, with all the talent Notre Dame has, and the fact that ND will be undefeated when OSU plays them, ND SHOULD be ranked. It is very dissappointing that OSU doesn't play at least 1 more top 10 team. Such a game would have a good chance of national coverage/exposure on ESPN or ESPN2. |

No mention of us, and we didn't do anything spectacular to earn it but some bits and pieces that will effect us maybe from The Athletic:
Women’s college basketball rankings:
There’s a tiny bit of shifting in the top five this week, thanks mostly to Texas’ upset of Stanford,
I do not expect Stanford to go 4-of-27 (15 percent) on 3-pointers again this season like it did in Sunday’s loss to Texas, but it’s fair to have a significant amount of hesitation when looking at the Cardinal’s 20 turnovers. We all knew it would be a transition in the post-Kiana Williams era, but I did not expect this (not even against a team that pressures like Texas). Alas, it was a wakeup call (potentially one that was much-needed) for the reigning champs. But I still see the Cardinal as the favorites out West.
The Arizona-Louisville game provided a pretty good look into what it’s like for teams replacing multi-year point guard starters (and also, Stanford). In short: It’s not a process that will be figured out immediately and we can’t expect that what these teams look like now will be anything like what they look like in March
Arizona beats a top-10 team and doesn’t crack the top 10? I can hear you already. But here’s the thing: Who is Arizona’s go-to scorer?
and this might matter in your game against them:
Michigan lost Amy Dilk in the early moments of the team’s season opener and that’s not great. As of this writing, it sounds like Dilk’s injury is day-to-day and while she wasn’t dressed for the Wolverines’ second game, the program certainly is projecting that they’re expecting her to return.
We are at # 17 in their rankings

It is very dissappointing that OSU doesn't play at least 1 more top 10 team. Such a game would have a good chance of national coverage/exposure on ESPN or ESPN2. We've frequently commented here that it would be nice for OSU to schedule an annual game with Gonzaga, or, alternatively, find some tougher opponents. But Scott does seem to usually get one good event on the schedule - the Daytona tournament, the Vancouver tournament a few years ago, the preseason WNIT that we won. I guess he figures that's enough, and that we'll face plenty of top ten teams when conference starts. |

That's one viewpoint. Another might be that we should then also do away with Mother's Day, Father's Day, Father Christmas (in England), calling priests father and some nuns mother, fatherland, motherland, the first two words of the Lord's Prayer, and so on. Almost everybody loses their parents at some point. While it's certainly harder when you're a teenager, it's something we all face. I fail to see why an enjoyable, bonding event for many, many fathers and their children should be discontinued for the sake of the very few. But this has naught to do with women's hoops, so let's move on. "But this has naught to do with women's hoops, so let's move on." Your post didn't get quite the reception you had hoped for? |

No question about that. Jonas does do the scheduling, but you can be 100% certain that he has clear and specific direction from Scott on who to schedule, then doesn't finalize anything without Scott's approval. It's been a pretty standard (and successful) approach over the years to schedule a relatively easy non-conference schedule, then win 95% of those games. He knows that conference schedule is going to be a major challenge, so chooses to not compound that by scheduling more than 1 challenging game early. We have a very promising group of freshman and a highly rated class coming in. If they pan out, you could see an uplift in scheduling a couple of years from now. Maybe. |

I think the OOC schedule has hurt OSU's seeding come Tournament time some years. We all know the Pac 12 schedule is challenging, but some other Pac 12 teams have better OOC schedules than OSU does. A tough conference really isn't an excuse for weak non-con.
