Arizona leads Stanford by 5 with 17 seconds to go. AZ took advantage of a Brink-less Stanford, something OSU unfortunately could not do when it had the perfect chance. . Oh, you mean that game where Kiki was 2/2 from the three? Still the only three's she has ever made in her college career? Some games you are just meant not to win.

I'd consider vs Utah tougher game than the Arizona game. USC also swept OSU and Stanford (1) game. So 3-team conference title tie, gives USC the #1 seed in the Pac12 tourney. yes, Utah is tougher game for USC that AZ. OSU needs USC to lose to both, as USC holds any and all tie-breakers against OSU. oh it's getting late...OSU does NOT need USC to lose 2 games as only 1 loss is needed if OSU wins out. MY bad.

That same writer had this to say about Washington. "The Beavers have a fairly favorable schedule to finish league play. While Washington can be unpredictable, especially at home, it would still be a shock for the Huskies to upset the Beavs." That's scary after that Stanford quote.

The Huskies haven't had anything resembling a home court advantage since Plum left. They have as many road wins as home wins in conference this year. Not sure what the author of that quote is referring to in regards to "especially at home."

Well, this is a crazy finish. There is now a real chance that Oregon State, Utah, Colorado, UCLA, and USC all end up tied for 2nd place in conference with 6 losses. Utah has already lost 6, and the loser of tonight's games between Colorado and UCLA will then have 6 losses, which leaves the possibility that USC, Oregon St, and the Colorado/UCLA winner end up in a three way tie for second with only 5 losses. There is always the chance that one or two of those schools win out and there is a 2 way tie for second, or someone can claim it alone.
Arizona plays a big role in this, as they are now 8-8 in conference, and my guess is one win would make them a tournament team. Arizona host UCLA and USC in this final weekend. Utah and Colorado are at home this week against the Washington Schools, which should be easy wins for both, but it's been a whacky season.
If we go with the odds, UCLA wins tonight handing Colorado their 6th loss. Colorado and Utah with their home games with the Washington Schools and both finish with 6 losses. Oregon State loses one of their two final games and ends up with 6 losses, which would make them the 4th seed in the Pac-12 tournament.
UCLA and USC play at the Arizona schools. I'm guessing Arizona bites one of them, but I have no idea which one. I am far from an Arizona fan, but I want to root for the Pac-12 getting an extra team in the NCAA tournament, but then I ask myself why? Pac-12 is on life support, and if it returns in a couple years, it will be a different animal.
So, I'm thinking Stanford and the two LA schools get the top three spots in the Pac-12 tournament, and the Beavs getting number 4 unless they lose both games this weekend. Colorado could mess all of this up and beat UCLA and the Washington Schools to grab a top 4 spot leaving the possibility that UCLA, Utah, and Oregon State (or even USC) tied in the standings below Stanford and Colorado.
Final weekend, and there are a lot of scenarios. I hope the Beavs make it easy, and just win out. Go Beavs!
One other crazy possibility would be that Stanford would lose twice this weekend, leaving the chance at a 4 way tie for first play. Although highly unlikely, in a crazy year like this, who knows what may happen.

Did the Beavs break Colorado? They are on a 3 game skid and look absolutely horrible against UCLA so far tonight.

Well...UCLA wasn't taking advantage of CU's ice cold start. Just like that the Buffs go on an 8-0 run in a few seconds and we've got a ball game.

Good game down the stretch here. A lot can happen next weekend, but a UCLA win will mean the Beavs are playing for Pac-12 4 seed, at worst, on Sunday.
