Big 12 has some surprising teams. Kansas St. and Iowa St. are both ascending. But Baylor and Texas are both looking very vulnerable recently. To me the middle of the pack from the B12 is not better than the Pac 12, and I'll take the top of the Pac 12 as well.

Pac is anything but weak this year. Hands down best conference in the country, it's not even close. Not convinced Stanford is worse this year than last year. Certainly more overall talent last year, but it never really gelled. B12 is damn good and very close in NET. Very similar conferences. What site did you see that on? I don’t think B12 is as good at top and their bottom is fairly weak with their AAC + BYU additions.

They don't have a team with a losing overall record. They don't have ASU. Didn't say better, said damn good, close. And they are the 2nd best NC NET team very close to Pac12. And, just like the Pac12 every team is vulnerable... see Furd and UCLA recently, Utah also. SC went small without RM, 4 Gs & F... G scoring 32-2 SC.

USC is taking it to UCLA at the Galen Center. Up 34-19 at the half. In both the 1st Q and the 2nd Q, UCLA had 6 minute scoreless streaks. That is brutal

The Beavs WBB team/fans do "know it" (scoring droughts)....though my memory tells me it usually 4 minutes with the Beavs, instead of 6 minutes scoreless. And then (for UCLA) to have it occur in both the 1st and 2nd quarters, I can't recall a Top 10 team ever sinking to that depth (than again my memory is typically piss-poor).

It wasn't a sell out, but they had a real nice crowd for one of their OOC games (looked it up, 4700 for Florida Gulf Coast on 11/10). Juju is getting fans into the building. Average is only 2500+, but considering they've been under 1000 for as long as I can remember, that's a big step forward.

There is absolutely no comparison between the B12 & PAC-12 in WBB. PAC-12 is so superior. We'll see evidence of this play out in the NCAA Tournament. OSU would wipe the floor of all B12 teams with the exception of K-State (and Texas if they had Rory Harmon).

Before OSU's 7:00 game vs Cal Friday, #5 UCLA and #3 CU play at 5:00. That could be a very entertaining game.

That's a huge game for UCLA. They couldn't win on the road at USC. Can they win on the road at Colorado? UCLA has a lot of talent, but they have to prove they can win on the road, or it will be another year that UCLA had great talent, but couldn't win the Pac12.
