UCLA vs. UW/Cal
Washington's loss to Washington State means the Huskies finish No. 8 in the Pac-10 and will face No. 9 Cal in Wednesday's first round of the Pac-10 tournament.
UCLA plays the winner of that game on Thursday at approximately 2:30 p.m.
Here's how the Pac-10 seedings shake down for the Pac-10 tournament. Keep in mind tonight's Arizona-Oregon is ongoing.
1. UCLA
2. Stanford
3. Washington State
4. USC
5. Arizona State
6. Oregon-Arizona winner
7. Oregon-Arizona loser
8. Washington
9. California
10. Oregon State
With Oregon's win over Arizona, AZ at 18-13, 8-10, would appear to need at least one or two wins in the Pac10 tournament to make the Ncaas,but UofO - 18-12, 9-9, might just make it with one win, yes? Would that be enough to save Ernie Kent's job? The Ducks have played very well late in the year. Also, Jon Brockman hurt an ankle in UW's double OT loss at Wsu which makes it all the more likely Ucla will be playing Cal again next Thursday....
Let's hope we don't stumble in the quarterfinals again since that might make it just a little harder for the NCAA committee to give us a #1 seed. Heck, why not just win the whole thing?
