We won three national titles without a conference tournament. UCLA and Arizona won national titles without a conference tournament. We don't need it. Our games in March were not played in 100-degree temperature. If you actually saw the Corvallis Regional live last year, it was pretty apparent our team was gassed. Luckily Vandy also played in a conference tournament in hot weather. Why many lose some or most all interest in college sports/rooting for "your team" and become front runner fans. It's not about what's best for the kids or the sport itself. It's all about $$$. |

The way I'd fix it... since conference tourneys count as NC games. If you're conference ops out of a postseason tourney they get an extra NC series of 3 games. Then you schedule the best mid major or other P5 non-postseason tourney team you can... on the road. PS... IDGAF about any team that has to tourney win their way into the postseason. Effing regular season should matter more than giving an 7,8,9 seed a NCAA chance. And, that includes "us". PSS... the last few posts are on progressively more and margaritas. WTF are you supposed to do beach side in the tropics! I just got back from Cancún 15 days ago. I had to switch to frozen partway through the trip to try and make sure that I did not drink too much too quickly. No longer a Mexico fan. Fav haunts the last 7-8 years, Costa Rica (now), Roatan. |

Luckily Vandy also played in a conference tournament in hot weather. And we were denied at least two Tournaments, because of a lack of a Pac-12 Tournament. We were denied a Regional Host spot in 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2021, because of a lack of Pac-12 Tournament. We were denied a Corvallis Super Regional in 2011, because of a lack of Pac-12 Tournament. We needed it! Oregon State was gassed, because they lost that marathon game to UCLA. Vandy, on the other hand, only played three games: Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Vandy lost the first game to San Diego after San Diego played on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. New Mexico State almost toppled Oregon State after playing on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Arizona. And with the new Pac-12 Tournament format, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are probably a worst-case scheduling scenario. |

Fav haunts the last 7-8 years, Costa Rica (now), Roatan. Cancún was beautiful.......for the most part. It was beautiful for like five days straight. The only time that was rough was like 5-7 on Saturday. And sure enough, the wedding was planned to be at six. It was memorable; that is for sure. |

The PAC-12 plays 30 games to determine a conference champion. If you feel you need to hold a season-ending "tournament" in addition to the 30 game test, take the top 4 teams to a neutral site. One plays four and two plays three = single elimination and you can proudly announce "we held a tournament".
"Stanford is the regular season champ and Stanford won our tournament" So what?
"Stanford is our regular season but Utah is our tournament champion. I'm confused!
The PAC-12 tournament as presently constructed is a monument to the anal leadership of this .conference.

After tonight's game, thank goodness for that Pac-12 Tournament. It gives Oregon State a shot at hosting.

. . . or not hosting.
Are we a Regional host hoping to avoid ending up a 2 seed.
Or are we a 2 seed hoping to host a Regional.
Playing well is mandatory for any team not named Stanford.

Back to the original question: "What is the plan for Sunday?"
I think we should take that day off. Just sayin'.
