Well, our SoS will continue to improve, and I guess a close rivalry win only gets you so much uplift....
That said, I wasn't sure we had a top-half Pac-12 team when the season began, so the team development has been a joy to watch.
I re-watched the Utah and Colorado games recently, and I will note - we had two out-of-this-world quarters in the Utah game - I doubt there are many teams in America that could have overcome that performance (I wonder if we can repeat that....ever). That said, I saw signs that Utah is quite potent, and they are going to really, really be incented.
In the Colorado game, I am surprised Sherrod didn't get T'ed up or have a few more fouls called on her. She has a very Gary Payton-esque edge to her play, something I suspect you love if she's wearing your colors and don't think so highly of otherwise. Sherrod and Talia were going at it a bit at the end of the game - watch her free-throws at the end where she misses, Talia claps, and then Sherrod makes a point to bump Talia for no reason after her second make......Sherrod will probably be even edgier on her home court.
And if we play with the shooting percentage of the uo game, both the mountain teams are going to run us out of their gyms. Though I think our D gives us time to "just find the hot hand" on the bench (because a couple of our starters have considerable variability to their scoring).
We will learn a lot about the Beavers this next week.
GO Beavers!

sherrod should have been t'd on her first foul and later when she slammed the ball onto the court. Those are two I can remember off the top of my head. She gets away with far too many fouls.

When I looked at the AP rankings this morning, they still listed our record as 17-3. It would appear everybody might have voted and the rankings compiled before our game was even finished.
