Oregon vs Colorado (Pac-12 Tournament)

[Tray Dub]

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.

Why would the have been waiting to give the conference one bid? I don't think they have a grudge against the conference...

Just the feeling I've been getting from reading all of the bracketologists. All of the comparisons have been favoring the mid-level Big 10, Big East, etc. teams over the top 3 of the Pac. I mean, the fact that NW would have been in over Oregon proves it. 7th seed BIG over the 3 seed Pac? Especially now with UDub out, I just get the feeling that if we win tonight, loser of the Cal/Oregon game is out, and the only way the conference gets two bids is if the winner of Cal/Oregon loses in the final.
This is also assuming that making it to the final and losing isn't enough for Zona if they do, which right now seems likely.

Looks like I was wrong, Washington still projected in. Looks like it'll be them and the winner.

i don't know what 'backing in' to a championship means, so yeah, i think washington still gets a bid. it's one of those things where i'd be fine if they didn't, though.

Still too close to call I think. Oregon could win a few and push Washington back one more spot. Same goes for Tennessee and NC State grabbing spots from Washington.

Alright, but the committee is not made up of bracketologists, so I don't think it makes sense to say the committee is "waiting for an excuse."

Lunardi is not THAT accurate. There's a pretty decent chance UDub will make it, and there's a pretty decent chance they won't. Depends a lot on how the conference tourneys turn out.

I'm not expecting Colorado to come out flat like they have been of late. Should be a tough game, but the Ducks will pull it out and keep our tourney hopes alive.

Should I be rooting for Cal or Stanford? I can't decide whether I want the chance for a quality W or the easier path to the championship.

It depends on whether you believe we can get an at-large bid without winning the tournament. If you think we can get an at-large by making the finals, then I'd root for Cal (helps our RPI more). Otherwise, root for the easiest route possible.

[oregontrack]

we're like 0-10 against cal over the last four years, and monty owns oregon something fierce. i don't care how close that game in berkeley was, if we want to win this tournament we want stanford.

Getting nervous about Colorado. They aren't a great road team, but I think they are going to come out firing up after laying an egg last night. Oregon can't overlook them.

I wanted Cal to win this game. If Cal wins the tournament, it wouldn't be a complete disaster for Oregon. Arizona, Oregon St or Stanford winning would eliminate Oregon.

Cal is in.

Interior defense has been weak for Oregon. Too many layups/dunks for Colorado. Same thing happened in the first half in Eugene.
