Pac-12 Power Rankings — 3/7/13

1. Oregon (23-6, 12-4) — The Ducks are the best team in the Pac-12 as long as Dominic Artis is healthy, but he only saw 12 minutes in a win at Oregon State. Oregon should get its first conference title since 2002 if its point guard’s foot injury is no longer a problem. Damyean Dotson also has a hip injury, but is expected to play.

2. Cal (20-10, 12-6) — Cal’s defense had held locked down opponents to 33.7 percent shooting through a seven-win streak, but couldn’t stop Stanford in their season finale. Allen Crabbe and the Cardinal’s Dwight Powell also started a scuffle that ended with the ejection of two players and three assistant coaches — including Mark Madsen.

3. UCLA (22-8, 12-5) — The Bruins lost to Washington State for the first time in 20 years. Washington State was missing its second- and third-leading scorers. Oh, and UCLA forward Travis Wear re-aggravated his sprained right ankle. A share of the Pac-12 title is within reach if Oregon loses, but what an awful night for this team. Continue reading →

Pac-12 Power Rankings — 2/27/13

1. Arizona (23-4, 11-4) — Visits from the Washington schools didn’t provide the stiffest challenges, but Arizona took care of both the Huskies and the Cougars with ease last week. Defense is an issue at times, with coach Sean Miller describing it as “terrible” after beating WSU 73-56. The Wildcats allowed Washington State to shoot 52.2 percent in the second half, and would have been in more trouble had the Cougs shot better than 14 of 28 at the line.

2. Cal (18-9, 10-5) — Conference-leading scorer Allen Crabbe has gone a bit cold lately, but Justin Cobbs ensured that a Bear would be named Pac-12 Player of the Week for the third straight time. In his past six games, Cobbs is averaging 16.6 points on 53.4-percent shooting, his best stretch since November. Cal plays its last three games at home and is at least slightly favored in each.

3. UCLA (20-7, 10-4) — The Bruins’ offense is syncing again three bumpy weeks, helped in part by better ball movement and shot selection. They’ve made 6 of 12 from beyond the arc in each of their past two games. UCLA is likely without forward Travis Wear (sprained foot) for at least another game, which is a troubling prospect as it prepares to host ASU and Arizona. Continue reading →

Josh Smith to Georgetown

Per CBSSports, Josh Smith will be transferring to Georgetown after leaving UCLA in late November. The talented but underachieving center was a Freshman All-American before seeing his waistline swell and his minutes dip over the next two seasons. He averaged just 5.2 points and 4.2 rebounds as a junior, down from 10.9 and 6.3 in his debut campaign.

Leaving just three days after guard Tyler Lamb also announced his departure, Smith cited “personal reasons” for his decision to quit the UCLA basketball team.

The Washington native picked the Hoyas over Kansas. Some time under John Thompson III at Georgetown should provide some structure, and might even help Smith turn his career around. Smith may have been chronically overweight, but he was still a legitimate big man with soft hands and rare ball skills. The former five-star recruit will be eligible after sitting out a year, or he could elect to redshirt until the 2014-15 season to get a full season.
