Just watched Cal hold off UW, wouldn't be surprised to see Cal win again tomorrow. UCLA is #1 in the West win or lose so a few extra days rest could help. If anyone wants a great example of what they call "Coach Speak" I hope they caught FSN's pre game interview with Kevin O'Neil. O'Neil basically said nothing, the interview was a waste of everyone's time. The man has the personality of Lloyd Carr it appears. As a final thought congrats to the Portland State Vikings on making the NCAA Tournament for the first time in their history.

Here is what we know: With USC beating Stanford they have sealed up a bid no matter what happens around the country between now and Sunday and that leaves 4 Pac 10 teams as locks. We also know that UCLA is getting the benefit of the doubt from the zebras who as usual have embarrased the Pac 10. We know that Arizona could have sealed a bid and killed Oregon had they won Saturday night and they didn't. We know that no Pac 10 team has ever made it at 9-9 but this year a 8-10 team might make it over two 9-9 teams who both swept said team. We know that Oregon could go back and look at any of 5 games this year and had they gotten a win in any of them there would be no further conversation needed. We know that Lisa Love could have done a better job at not scheduling such a cream puff OOC schedule at Arizona State this year. We know that Kevin O'Neil is no Lute Olson. We know the next week is going to be very interesting the Pac 10 could get as many as 7 teams in or just 4.
