2019-20 Pac-12 MBB Thread

UCLA is a threat to beat anyone. I think they'll end up costing the Pac-12 a tourney bid this year.

I wish I wouldn't have asked that question I asked about UCLA. Fahq .

Arizona ****ing the Fightin' Hurleys **** up right now.

 

[Heywood]

Every time I go to the ESPN basketball page I am getting a spam pop up redirect to some add page. Wtf. ESPN sucks

UCLA is a threat to beat anyone not named Cal State Fullerton and Hofstra. I think they'll end up costing the Pac-12 a tourney bid this year.

FIFY. Thankfully Tad has made UCLA his bitch.

arizona/oregon and wash/stanford could both be great games tonight

I'm not sure how good they really are but after watching Stanford win a seriously ugly game vs UW last night, and with their schedule, could the Trees be the PAC party crashers this year?

Oregon State got manhandled by ASU. I have a feeling that loss will haunt us.

I'm more interested in seeing how our squad responds, it'll speak to who they are as a team. We lost one we shouldn't have, so whatcha gonna do about it? Sometimes a loss like we had can wake your ass up quickly, or, it can ruin the whole damn thing. I think they'll respond well.

ASU is a guard heavy team / runs a press and knows how to break pressure...could have just been a bad matchup for OSU...but yes, that loss will suck come seeding time

Cal beats Washington at home, that's another bad loss for Washington.

I'm not sure UW's going anywhere this year.

I'm not sure UW's going anywhere this year.

UW is the most disappointing team to me this year so far. Green being out is big, but still, was hoping they would have pulled out a solid non conference win. They seemed to be imploding...

edit: They did beat Baylor early in the season, so that's solid. But, all their other losses, including a tough one to Gonzaga, make me think they're outside looking in, heading towards just being out.

Does Stanford get ranked this week?

 

[torero]

Oregon State very close to running away from Arizona. A sweep in the desert next week would be amazing. I don’t expect in the least.

I see us beating Zona but losing to ASU — they’re going to have it out for us

ASU is a bad match up for us.

 

[Bubblebuff]

ASU is a bad match up for us.

True. ASU’s press brought them back from a 15 point deficit in the first game. But we can’t keep chalking up teams that press or apply guard pressure as “bad matchups” we gotta figure it out.

I'm the exact opposite. ASU is the winnable game - I don't care if they're gunning for us or not. They're not a great team. Arizona is inconsistent, but they're good.

We matchup well with ASU since we've got a guy in Kin who neutralizes or surpasses Remy Martin's impact on the game. I like our good against their good.

UA is more of a case of each team needing to exploit matchups where each team has advantages.

Any of you watch Oregon State and Arizona? If so, what was the story in that one?

Oregon State flat out kicked their ass in the 2nd half. This Arizona team has talent, but they are the softest defensive Arizona team I can remember since we joined the Pac-12.

Here's a stat that will probably surprise some people:

KenPom's rankings of the Pac-12 have CU easily #1 in the league on offensive efficiency. We're top half on defense, but it is our offense that separates us.

Saw just a few minutes here and there. Same thing every time i surfed back to the game.

Nasty azz 1-3-1 zone vs a bunch of me-first athletic attempts. 'Zona players looked like they had no clue what to do against that zone.

Holy ****. Even if it is only in conference. Number 4 over the course of the season. On track to be Tad's second best offense ever. Defense is number 2 to Stanford. Great balance

Also, look at the projected conference records. This is going to be wild.

Those conference records seem a bit too rosy for us, the ducks, and the trees.
