UCLA to face Arizona in Pac-10 opener
At noon on Thursday, No. 5-seed UCLA will open the Pac-10 Tournament with No. 4 Arizona, which defeated the Bruins 78-73 on Thursday in Tucson. The Wildcats, behind Kyle Fogg, Derrick Williams and Nic Wise, have toyed with the Bruins this year, Fogg in particular, as he's scored career-highs in both games.
The winner of the matchup will advance to face either Cal or the winner of Oregon/Washington State, which is the Wednesday play-in game.
Here's the full bracket, and all games will be played at Staples Center:
Wednesday
No. 8 Oregon vs. No. 9 Washington State, 8 p.m.
Thursday
No. 4 Arizona vs. No. 5 UCLA, noon
No. 1 Cal vs. Oregon/WSU, 2:30 p.m.
No. 3 Washington vs. No. 6 Oregon State, 6 p.m.
No. 2 Arizona State vs. No. 7 Stanford, 8:30 p.m.
wow we've had such a crappy year and we're the 5 seed. wooooo.... pac10 is sad.
Could you imagine if we were to win this thing? Ha... and the ironic thing is that while unlikely, it is not totally implausible. We almost beat AZ last week (up 14 in second half) and we already beat CAL earlier in the year. Only need one after that. Sure it was be a first round exit in the big dance, but still.
Yes, the Pac-10 is very sad this year... sad indeed.
