There was a time when we used to play gonzaga pretty much every pre-season. I am sure glad we don't anymore. They are making ucla look totally outclassed and ucla is really pretty good.

Last year the Zags were incredibly good. This year they are even better

Gotta say, it is nice to have a #1 vs #2 matchup with both teams from the West Coast

For anyone who did not see it.......it was 45-25 at the half and the 2nd half was a wash so a 20 point victory for the Zags.

No shame in losing to Gonzaga, however the scoreline was a little surprising. Arizona looks to be a very good team this year, so far putting a beating on anyone they've played, including formerly #4 Michigan. uo has managed to get blown out three times (albeit to 3 pretty good teams in BYU, Houston, and St. Mary's) so they have fallen out of the rankings. Overall it looks like another mediocre year for the conference with maybe a little bit of improvement at the top 2 spots in UA and UCLA.

I really was unimpressed with UCLA, they were clearly beat by Gonzaga who already seems to be in tourney shape. Mark Few is an incredible coach! I have not seen enough of the PAC 12 teams to venture a WAG on who will rise to the top. I don’t see us duplicating last year, and I do not see the runway models getting very far either . The announcers kept saying that the Altman magic always comes at the end of the season. Personally, I think he has lost his mojo - and his players are much less likely to do anything related to teamwork. It’s all ‘one and done’ - I need to rise to the top !

On January 25th of this year OSU moved UP into the 140s in the NET ratings and the league only had 2 two teams in the top 30. By Tournament time the Pac 12 had 4 teams in the Sweet 16 and 3 in the Elite 8. It's hard to say if the conference is mediocre or not at this point.

I guess I meant from a national perspective and as far as getting teams into the tournament itself goes. We only had 5 teams in the tournament last year because of our run (which almost kicked UCLA out) when it otherwise would have been 4. Us, Cal, ASU, UW, CU, Stanford, and to a certain extent uo, all have resume killing losses already. Utah is 5-0 but has played no one (they did beat Tulsa by 14), WSU is also 5-0 but has also played no one, then there's UCLA, UA, and USC who look like the best bets for tournament teams right now.

Really wish Washington would have stayed here. 15 pts and 9 rebs versus UW today. And he only took 5 shots.

Sagarin currently ranks the Pac-12 ahead of the ACC.

Last year the Zags were incredibly good. This year they are even better The Holmgren kid is pretty fun to watch. Looks like a 7ft tall Praying Mantis out there. Hoping they destroy Duke today.

Holmgren is a skinny tall unicorn. He can handle the ball, shoot a three, swat blocks, pass. He's super athletic. Pretty strong for skinny guy. He's a unicorn.
