ASU looks like toast now that they're without Lawrence and Graham. Hopefully Altman starts clearing the bench a bit down the stretch to give his main rotation guys some rest.

Nice to see Kepnang get some minutes and fill up the stat sheet a bit. I have a feeling they will need him and Lawson in the Dance.

Altman gets win number 20 to keep the streak going. What a coach.

Really amazing they won by 18 and only got 6 points from Duarte. They got some valuable contributions from Lawson and Hardy off the bench and got a bunch of rest for the starters with the blowout.

Absolutely insane a 19-5, conference champion Oregon is unranked. Unbelievable

Franck is absolutely going to be a beast once he figures a few more things out in terms of how to slow down and control his body.

I'm already very happy thinking of a ridiculous front court next year of: Dante, Kepnang, Lawson, and Bittle. :shock:

I'm not so sure we shouldn't view this as a Top 10 team.

Oklahoma is #7 at 15-9 and looks like garbage against #2 Kansas who is only 19-8 in the Big 12 tourney right now.

The Pac-12 disrespect is truly confusing, I understand historically they've been a little behind the ACC, Big Ten, and Big-12, but this is beyond ridiculous how Oregon hasn't even been ranked. How can they justify it really? I mean Oregon had one non-conference loss against Missouri, who had their struggles in the SEC but have had big wins including beating 3rd ranked Illinois. It was Oregon's first game and they were missing their starting PG in Will Richardson. Besides that, Oregon really had two legit Pac-12 losses against Colorado where they're cursed and USC when they played a really good game and Oregon clearly wasn't prepared. Besides that, OSU and WSU they were short-handed and came off of long Covid pauses. If anyone thinks Oregon loses either of those games at full strength then they should never be allowed to watch college basketball. I understand historically the Pac-12 has been behind, but the rankings and the overall excessive disrespect towards the Pac-12 honestly confuses me. What can explain it?

Well, it looks like there will be another chance to convince everyone about whether the Ducks should have beaten the Beavers, as OSU has somehow managed to come back from a huge deficit and beat UCLA in overtime. It's too bad - UCLA would have been a higher-quality opponent, but at least the way to the championship game has been cleared.

With how UCLA finished the season, they may not be a lock for the NCAA Tournament any more.

And now Utah just took USC to overtime. What the heck is going on with these L.A. schools? Making the conference look bad.

Oregon shot lights out again. Granted, ASU's defense was awful, especially in the 2nd half. Great win! Nice to see Hardy having probably the only good game I've seen him have all year.
