The swirl around the toilet bowl continues as the Arizona schools come to town.  Jordan Brown, please feel free to turn off your television.  Or at least tune in to the UCLA @ Oregon State game.  Oregon State, help a guy out!

if the tournament started today i don't think a single pac-12 team makes the second weekend.

CU isn't the only school that suffered the loss of a student athlete since the Buffs will be wearing something on the uniforms in memory of a women's lacrosse player who was killed in a car crash last weekend.

Don't know if WSU will do the same for the QB who passed away recently as well.

[PAC MAN]

CU just beat the Cougs...Buffs led by at least 20+ and then WSU started making threes and cutting into lead.  CU's starters came back in and stretched the lead again.  WSU is going to catch a cold shooting team and beat them.

I go into the tournament every year thinking this.  I usually do pretty well in my pool.

UCLA  is done

[MrBug708]

Damn my jinx

[MrBug708]

Reverse jinx

oregon is better than they were a month ago, but we just don't have a closer. we were up 65-61 at the under 4 minute TO and were outscored 14-5 the rest of the way. i saw some of the most impotent attempts at creating offense down the stretch as i've seen here since altman's first year. 

[Chile_Ute]

Utes stop the bleeding, barely.  Almost handed it over.

[Orange]

36% shooting and they still beat UCLA.  Maybe the beavs are better than I thought. 

[azgreg]

That was quite a game.

Can't blame the players anymore, all on the coaches

haha what’s phil jackson doing up there

anyway you got to see how oregon turns into the keystone kops at the end of each game.

[RogueDuck]

If Eli Brown hadnt transfered to UO, i think we'd be a much better team right now.  Why does he play any min over Bailey?

[KUGRDON]

Keystone Kops held on.  Nice win for the Ducks.  Frustrating for the Bruins.   Congratulations and condolences as appropriate.  Fun second half.
