Arizona gets a huge win at Stanford today, so they completed the sweep in the Bay Area. Cats move to 7-4 in the Pac and keep themselves alive in the race, Stanford drops to 6-5. Going to be a huge game for the Buffs in Tucson on Thursday.

You might want to check out what happened before you declare the coach wrong and Gutierrez right, then. Gutierrez flew off the court into the UA bench after a loose ball (nothing wrong with that). Landed next to/across the UA assistant, whose flailing arm and leg made contact with Gutierrez (given the situation, if any of it was intentional it was a hell of an athletic move by the coach, and still didn't amount to more than a swipe). Gutierrez then went nuts, got in the face of the UA bench, incited a bench clearing situation, the game came to a stop for several minutes to calm him down. You may admire that reaction, most of us some to consider it hot headed douchbaggery deserving of at least a technical, if not an ejection.

IMO, Arizona is the team to beat in the Pac12- just beat Stanford on the road.
UNLV #15 losing to Wyoming in 2nd.

Wyo would help us out quite a bit
For what it's worth, they pulled out the win. Slight bump for us maybe.

Beavers bounced back and won big in Salt Lake today. Beavs move to 15-8 (5-6). They look like they might be NIT bound, which would be a huge step forward for that program.
UCLA gets a narrow win in Pullman. Bruins move to 13-10 (6-5), Cougs drop to 12-11 (4-7).
As expected, Cal killed hapless ASU in Berkeley, so Cal moves to 18-6 (8-3). Devils fall to 7-16 (3-8). Sendek is fealing the heat.
As mentioned earlier, Arizona got a huge win in Palo Alto that keeps them alive and well in the Pac12 race. The 'Cats are still very much on the outside looking in at 16-8 (7-4), but they're now within reasonable striking distance. Stanford falls to 16-7 (6-5), and this loss today realistically ended their hopes of winning the Pac.

CU needs to win tonight.:thumbsup: Kill the dux:nod:
As for UW, I'm pretty nervous. U$C has taken 3 of the last 4 in Seattle and seems to have UW's number. Doesn't matter if they are putrid this year. Wilcox is still recovering from a stress fracture and Wroten's status is still unknown (thigh injury against UCLA)... It's definitely T.Ross time if we hope to win tonight.
As bad as this conference is, the parity is making for a heckuva February:nod:
Cal, UW, CU and Arizona still all have a very good shot at the title going into the second half of conference play...

Udub now killi' $c. On a side note, Andre getting a lot of love from the announcers, calling him one of the best in the conference and the west. Part of a super-sophomore class in the 12PAC.

[h=4]Pac-12 Standings[/h]
Take a step back and soak in those standings, Buff fans. It's February now, and our Buffs are in the thick of it to potentially win the Pac12 in year 1!!
First and foremost, this was just an absolutely crucial win for the Buffs tonight. This win tonight has brought possibilities of things no Buff fans have dared to imagine. These upcoming 3 road games are obviously huge.
Conversely, this is a rough loss for Oregon but not the end of the world. They fall to 16-7 (7-4), but they now return back to Eugene to play Wazzu and Washington. Win those two, and UO is still big in the picture.
Washington took care of business over hapless USC tonight, so the Huskies remain in 1st in the Pac at 9-2. The Huskies trip to Oregon next week should be interesting. However, if the Huskies can sweep the Beavs and Ducks, they will be in the drivers seat
Cal killed hapless ASU, so the Bears are even on 8-3 with the Buffs in 2nd place. They have a tricky trip to UCLA looming next week, however, and it's important to us that the Bruins win that one for us.
The team to watch right now is Arizona. They got the sweep in the Bay Area last weekend, which has saved their season. Left for dead at 5-4 last week, those wins at Cal and Stanford now have the 'Cats within striking distance. Needless to say, CU's game down there on Thursday will be intense.
| TEAM | CONF | OVERALL |
| Washington | 9-2 | 16-7 |

| Colorado | 8-3 | 16-7 |

Great update, thanks. Hey you, PAC 12. The assholes are here, and we came for your booze, women, and basketball title.

5. Colorado could win the Pac-12. The thought may have sounded crazy entering the season, but at 8-3, the Buffaloes and Cal are just one game behind league leader Washington (9-2) in the league standings. Colorado and Washington each play five of their final seven games on the road. The Buffaloes, though, get the toughest two teams remaining on their schedule (Cal and Stanford) at home. Colorado touts one of the nation's top rebounders in Andre Roberson, who averages 11.2 boards per game. Guard Carlon Brown, who began his career at Utah, leads the Buffaloes in scoring with 12.9 points per game.

I did. I knew this conference was there for the taking.

beware the habu
I didn't. I thot we could be middle-of-the-pack and vying for an NIT berth, to be honest. My expectations were kinda low -- 18-19 wins, .500 conference, and hope for a first round home game in the nit.
Makes no sense. We are probably going to end up there, and that was a best case scenario (maybe 20, but anyone who was guaranteeing or expecting 20 was drinking serious koolaid - Even nik was just hoping for 16)

Very, very, very few. A few months ago on this board, people who dared to suggest CU could finish 6th or 7th in the Pac were being called crazy and unrealistic
At the risk of opening myself to even more ridicule, we have officially passed the number of wins that I predicted for this season. We have a good chance of tying the number of wins that Nik predicted for the season this week as well. And I think it's safe to say that we've exceeded TZISKIN, Rumblin & Zach's expectations as well.

beware the habu
Sure it does -- I didn't expect us to be in the hunt for first place at this point. Thinking about the conference before the season began, I figured that udub, 'zona, and fucla would be duking it out for 1st, with everyone else fighting the mediocre bug.

It's an inside joke
We have 5 of 7 games coming up away. Our two home games are Cal and Stanford. We are not exactly walking into a great schedule these next few weeks.
Agreed, but if we don't win the ASU and Utah games, something went SERIOUSLY wrong.

I always go back to last year. Lost to Nebraska and Iowa St down the stretch. Dreadful. I am not getting my hopes up.

Jeez what were they calling me? I said we'd be anywhere between 1 and 3 lol
we lost to nebraska early last year and beat them soundly at home to finish out the regular season.

We actually finished pretty strong down the stretch last year. CU won in Lubbock, beat Texas, lost a close one in Ames, soundly beat Nebraska, got revenge on ISU in the BigXII tournament to go 2-1 against them for the season, beat KSU in the BigXII tournament to go 3-0 against them for the season, and then played KU extremely tough in the semifinals.
What really killed us was dropping a couple winnables on the road in January. That OT loss at home to aTm really hurt too. That and Dan Beebe being a worthless piece of ****ing ****.

Nice that Washington lost tonight. Must admit I saw that one coming. It would have been bad news to have the Huskies get to 10-2 since we fell to 8-4 tonight. Need to put this one behind us and take care of business in Tempe. We've got a chance to go on a nice little winning streak here.
Meanwhile, Cal has to visit UCLA on Saturday. Obviously want the Bruins to win that one and drop Cal to 4 losses. Oregon has Wazzu but then has to go on the road for 3 straight games including the Bay Area trip.
ASU beat Utah 57-52 tonight. Sun Devils are 8-16 (4-8) heading into Saturday.
