Oops. :giggle:

I'd rather get the USC win. Need it for the standings and UCLA will end up being a "non bad" loss on the resume as a road game.

For SC, Oregon and Stanford, we need some breaks or high end performance we don’t normally have on the road, ie a friendly whistle for Evan, turnovers 11 or less, and a good night shooting from 3. I’d be thrilled if we get one of those 3 games.
 
A split in L.A is the floor for this team. They are bounce back tested, and I would be expect a strong performance againt SC if they flounder against UCLA. In the USC game, we’ll be a 1 possession underdog (honestly 3 points would high), so it’s close to a toss-up game. We really ought to sweep one of these Cali road trips to prove we are who we think we are, and we have a great shot here. Though after being BuffSwept last year, L.A. will be on high alert!
 
Wasn't sure where to put this, but saw an interesting stat today:

Each of the past five NCAA champions have ranked as a top-20 assist-to-turnover team, with their average ranking being ninth.

Would love for this to be an increased focus of ours the rest of the season. Will be tough unless Shane builds on his performance against UW in the assist column.

Gotta be 4-0 at home the rest of the way.

Shot at the conference title if we pull off a win @Oregon, and win 3 or 4 (probably 4) of the other 6 games on the road.

Not sure if I can stay up for the 1030PM start time on the East coast for this USC game; either outcome will probably disturb my sleep.

I really hope we're looking at that game in Stanford with a very real chance to win the regular season title.

Hopeful expectations aside, I'd bet on 8-3 the rest of the way, taking care of business at home, losing @Oregon and 2 other road games, not sure which ones, best bets would be USC and Oregon State in my mind.

Unless Oregon goes into funk I don’t think we can win conference now but still top 4 PAC and good NCAA seed
 
With ten to go I see the Buffs losing one to SC, Stanford, and Oregon. I also think they will drop one more because of another bad night.
6-4

Sound about right. OSU and Utah are options for a 4th road loss, but road wins at SC and Stanford are possible if we have the intensity (or if either has an off night).

We need this Bay Area home stand. Fans need to be wild for these.

Cal is playing well lately with Bradley on fire.

Stanford reversed its mini slump today and their defense is pretty nasty. They're not soft this year.
 
Revised:

Stanford-W
@ Oregon-L
@ OSU-L
USC-W
UCLA-W
@ Cal-W
@ Stanford-W
@ Utah-W

24-7.

I don't see a loss to Utah in SLC-when you get obliterated like they did when they were here, you've got a huge mental hurdle you've got to get over when you play that team a second time.

There is a clear book on beating Utah now: smother Timmy Allen and stay on their 3pt shooters. Since Allen is the only real creator they have, they don't have an answer for this.

Exactly! I still don't think we blow that game unless we lay an egg of epic proportions.
 
Three scenarios my tiny little brain can accept the rest of the way:
1) Finish 6-1, win the Pac outright at 14-4. Top3 seed in the dance.
2) Finish 5-2, win the Pac outright (75%); split the crown (25%) at 13-5.
3) Finish 4-3, and split the Pac crown with 1-2 teams.

Scenario 2 is the most likely to me, as I think we have a real shot at sweeping the Bay trip, which would give us room to blow a game (or take a sweep in Oregon). Pumped that we have OSU on Saturday, as we know if we drop the Oregon game, our guys should be locked in against OSU and maybe even be ready for the press.

Also I would love for the current conference standing to hold out! That’s the dream scenario. Buffs at the 1 seed in Vegas with the Ducks (2), Zona (3), and UCLA (6) all on the other side of the bracket.
 
We have a tough 7 game stretch to round off the remainder of the season. . . 5 - 2 would be an impressive finsh
