Oregon vs Colorado (Pac-12 Tournament)

[greenyellow]

Lunardi, who hasn't had the Ducks on the NCAA radar at all, picks Oregon to win the PAC?


Bandwagon fan!

Oregon seems to be everyone's favorite now to close out the season. With the momentum they have, Oregon could get in without having to win the tournament as long as they aren't blown out of any game. But I'd rather them be in with no question by winning the tournament.

1:40 to half and Buffs over Utes by 2 (22-20). Both teams shooting below 35%

What a boring game.

Aaaand it's colorado! Hopefully they play like they did tonight.

How embarrassing that the PAC 12 has 13 fans watching these games. The apathy in LA is making the league look really bad.

Someone should write Larry, with a crowd shot of the game, and ask him to reconsider LA as a permanent fixture for the tourney. Bring it to PDX/Seattle... every-other year.

I really doubt having the tournament in Portland or Seattle would matter much... It was a very late game between two teams with weak and unenthused fan bases who are too far away to travel. Can't really blame LA for that.

This. Plus with it being such an off year for the Pac, it's hard to draw a lot of fans. But I would love to have PDX host the tourney every once in a while.

I've heard some talk that the tourney is headed for Las Vegas. Certainly a more enjoyable destination than the smog filled LA. However, without a team in the state being present I worry that the tourney could actually see worse attendance.

I heard the tourney was moving to Vegas next year.

The product is definitely down this year but LA fans are notorious for not showing up unless they have a top ten team. There's just too much to do down there and the city doesn't get excited for anything because they're so spoiled. There was like 200 people not counting bands and cheer teams for the Beavers and Cougs, and most of those were waiting for the Ucla vs Usc game. The Fox crew was saying the Utah Colorado game was by far the loudest, and that was because CU flew out their 50 best fans for the tournament. I think its safe to say this tourney is dead in LA and very comparable to the ACC Championship game for football, nobody cares.

If anybody is down there take some pictures and let us know how much tickets are going for from scalpers ore even at the door. Stub Hub had them at $30-$100 for a session.

Yeah, but just that one game. If the games where in Portland I guarantee OSU-WSU would have been a sellout and UCLA-Sc would have had 10,000 at it. That's the difference, LA fans didn't even show up to the UCLA-SC game.

The beibers are playing a heck of a game, if UW looses, you think they will not be invited?

[oregontrack]

i think they still get in. no matter how terrible this conference is, i just can't see the regular season champ not getting in. i just can't.

Even if they backed into it? Honestly I think the committees just waiting for an excuse to give the Pac-12 one bid and Washington just gave them all the right in the world to take them out of the discussion.
