Things to do in Pullman when you are dead . . .

Well there isn't much to do in Pullman outside of getting blasted at Shakers or The Coug. For those who watched it Oregon - WSU ended up being one of the most exciting games of the year in the Pac 10. It was a pretty remarkable comeback win for Oregon and to acheive it they needed to come back from 8 down quite late in the contest. Aaron Brooks banking in of a three after the Ducks had missed two shot and gotten the o-board both times dropped the defecit from 5 to 2. Oregon then got another stop on defense and ran a pretty ugly set before Maarty Leunen got hacked with all but no time left. Clutch free-throws by Maarty tied and then the Ducks should have run away with in OT but the heroicvs of Derrick Low made it close. The Coogs had three shots to tie it up and take it to a second OT but they didn't fall. Can't wait fot the rematch down in Eugene. This week Oregon gets a chance to put a headlock on the conference championship if they can beat UCLA in Pauley Pavilion. I think UCLA beats the Ducks but the Ducks beat USC keeping Oregon in second. Stanford is clearly improving greatly, after watching them play Oregon tough at Mac Court I had a feeling that Stanford would put up a nice second half of the season run and play thmeselves in to the NCAA's. The sweep of the LA schools puts that as a great possibility and put some pressure on USC to stay in the field. I'd officially drop Cal from the NCAA talk, they will join UW in the NIT.
