Tim Floyd said he believe five Pac-10 teams will make the NCAA Tournament. If that's true, Arizona is one of USC's biggest rivals for an NCAA spot and the Wildcats just upset UCLA, 84-72.
That makes the Wildcats the weekend's big winner, unless the Trojans can pick off a victory in Tempe. Arizona (8-5) is currently a game ahead in the loss column over the Trojans (6-6).
The game in Tempe tomorrow night may not be a must win, but it sure feels like one. And, Scott, we are 6-5. Only 5 losses, tied with UofA. You must be presuming a loss to Sparky.
Regardless of Sunday's outcome, SC is only a .500 team when it comes to assessing its chances in the big dance, and the results are about the same as the rest of the Pac-10 - zilch.
the conference is the weakest it has been in at least a decade.
