Taylor jones and texas are doing really well this year. Taylor just dcored 21 points in 20 minutes last nite, ten and zero on the year. What coulda shoulda woulda been? A front court of Jones and beers Brown at Duke is mediocre at best but starts plays 21 minutes a gsme 5.6 pt and 4.4 rb for a team 5-3. Her sister Addy, a freshman at Iowa St., is already a better player than Kennedy ever was.

Utah lost Kneepkens for the year due to an injury. Big blow to them. Second leading scorer this season. They've been missing their third leading scorer, Palmer, for several games.

I was really impressed with her last night. Wonder why OSU never seemed to recruit her much. Skilled, physical, smooth - agreed.

I'm not sure if anyone looked at this closely, but in herhoopsstats has 9 Pac-12 teams making the tournament. Their seeding projections are: UCLA #1 USC #1 Stanford #1 Colorado #2 Utah #5 Arizona #7 Washington St #7 Oregon St #9 Washington #10 I feel confident that the Pac12 won't have 3 #1 seeds at tournament time. The Pac12 will be a real battle though.

This league will be one wild ride this next several months. Stanford is not the normal team but with good coaching and the best post in the lesgue they will make noise. Our issue will be team health if reagan goes down. Gardiner would take her place which isnt bad but reagan is a stud down low. Hopefully we get two or three more shooters that can fill in when the good teams take their focus on beers and diuble triple team her. We need better three point shooters utah can average 10 or more a game. Colorado is really tough inside and out when rhey are hot theyll out up 79 ir 90 a game. The LA schools have there own brand of skill sets. With plenty of athletes. Washington schools are like us fairly balanced not overly athletic. Will be fun to see which teams can keep there home court advantage then win some on the road

The Pac12 will be a real battle though. Pretty confident the Pac12 will not have (9) teams, when they most has been (7) only twice. And, the last two seasons the Pac12 have been basically .500 in the tourney. But, of course it depends on other conference tourneys/auto bids and record in conference play. There has been only one season that Pac12 WBB teams have gotten berths with losing conference records, '16-17 and "somehow" 8-10 Oregon, 6-12 Cal got in although with 20+ overall wins... and both high RPI (as used in those days). Cal won their first game before getting blown out by 40 vs Baylor. Oregon went on a roll with (3) wins including #9 @ Duke, #4 Maryland, before being handled by #1 UConn. I do not see that repeating in today's environment of WBB. So for (9) teams to get in will there be (9) with .500+ records? Will 8-10 with 20+ wins be enough? Possible, but (9) has not happened in Pac12 history, and I'm guessing a team best be .500 in conference play and/or show very well in the last Pac12 tourney. For OSU the schedule does us no favors... not the best year to skip a series vs Zona and ASU. 2x UCLA, Furd, SC, Utah, Colorado is 10 tough games... 4-6? 2x UW, WSU, Oregon... need at least 4-2 here 1x ASU, Zona,,, sweep 2-0 10-8 would easily get you a tourney invite, even with a weaker NC schedule.

You might wanna take another peak at the schedule... OSU only plays WSU and UW 1x and plays Cal (which you completely left out) 2x. As long as OSU can avoid any bad losses in non-conference play I think 9-9 would likely get us in given the difficulty. Utes are still going to be really tough, but they're, obviously, more vulnerable without Kneepkens. Hard to replace a guard who scores with that type of efficiency.

Not really Pac12, but I was noticing that Michigan got beat by Toledo 69-46. Michigan is 7-2 on the season, but that was a tough loss, although Toledo looks to be a pretty decent 4-2 team. Still makes you wonder how Michigan lost by 23. I'm hoping Greta Kampschroeder has found happiness there. I'm sure she's not playing as much as she anticipated when she left Oregon State. She's averaging under 10 minutes per game and 4.1ppg this season.

It is quite obvious that OSU is scheduling too many lessor opponents IMO and therefore not challenging its players enough. However, are they also scheduling less than the maximum number of nonconference games allowed? Beavers have only played 6 of its 11 nonconference games this year, but WSU is already 10-1 this season with 3 more to go for a total of 14. Why don't the Beavers play 14 NC games as well?

Bit of trivia: Two former Utah players, Brynna Maxell and Kemery Martin playing against each other.

Aren't there exemptions for the early season tournaments, so a team can actually play more than the max allowable NC games potentially? Like 3 games counts as only 1 in some kind of weird fuzzy math equation.
