ASU is beating UCLA by 16 at half. If ASU continues this pace and Oregon wins tonight, the Ducks will likely be facing a well-rested Sun Devils team.

Re: Other Pac-12 Tourney Games
We have the 4 best teams in the Pac-12 playing in the semis. Both matchups should be good.

Re: Other Pac-12 Tourney Games
UW advances to the final with the 66-61 win over Colorado. With the Buffs out of the running to take a tourney spot, Oregon getting to the championship game may be enough to get the Ducks into the Tournament. Only complicating thing is Gonzaga losing in their conference tournament, taking away an at-large spot now that the WCC will have 2 teams in.

Several bubble teams won big games against tournament locks today. The ducks have no chance of making the tournament without beating both ASU (which it looks like they won't) and Washington.greenyellow wrote:UW advances to the final with the 66-61 win over Colorado.

Relying on winning four games in four nights was never a good plan for getting into the dance.

Re: Other Pac-12 Tourney Games
Not sure what you are taking issue with, unless it is the part in parentheses where I said it looked like they wouldn't beat ASU. At the time I posted, the Sun Devils had just started the second half on an 18-3 run. Even Altman said after the game that they were dragging. I'm as happy as anyone that the Ducks turned it around.Bighonkingduck wrote:Phalanx wrote:Several bubble teams won big games against tournament locks today.

Meanwhile, the actual point of my post has been borne out by pretty much every mainstream article, ranking, and bracketologist in existence. The ducks will not be dancing unless they win tonight. Expecting them to play at a high level on their fourth night in a row after an overtime game last night is asking a lot. We'll see if they can pull it off.
