Not surprised at all to see Oregon ripping UCLA...they were freakin on FIRE last night against ASU. We really didnt play bad just ran into a really hot team coming from nowhere...interesting to see the teams that only have one shot at the dance step up when it matters and the "already in" teams dumping a steamer on the court.

Dawgs Coogs III should be a solid game...

COOGS 78
Dawgs 75

I am going to say Cougs 75 Dawgs 62

Mr. Scott will be looking down & wishing the Cougs well tonight, I'm sure.

3 peat.

GO COUGS!!!

Oregon spanked the Bruins and left welts .

Way to go Duck fans!

GO COUGS!!!

Thompson has 18 points at the half, wow!

Someone needs to kick Klay in the balls, or this is not going to end well...kid is on frickin' fire!

Fish on...

Well, apparently we didn't need to kick Klay in the balls...but I still wish someone would have

Not to get too far ahead of myself, but I see the Dawgs in the Pac-10 Championship game on Saturday...playing Arizona, again.

Should be a hella game.

Not a bad season, Coogfans...but I think you'll be enjoying the NIT this year

Best game I have watched this year. Clay Thompson did everything he could to try and get a win. Unfortunately it was lost at the start of the second half. Good luck to the Huskies. They should be home from the big tourney in time to watch the Cougs in the NIT.

They kept showing Stanford's cheerleaders on Wednesday nights game versus OSU.
The true meaning of brains over beauty.....

Nice win by the Dawgs. I hope they run the Ducks tonight and get another shot at Arizona.

That bugs me about the tourney, too...if USC or UCLA isn't playing, then the Staples Center is only 1/3 full. They'd fill the damn thing daily even if it was in Spokane.

Put it in Vegas...more people would be likely to travel, and there are always a shitton of tourists around who'd buy a ticket.

You could catch a flight there for well under $100 most the time, too...and get a hotel for under $100...and eat cheap...and not have to be in Los Angeles, which is worth a lot right there.

Incredible individual performance was trumped by a very good team effort. When MBA went to the bench in foul trouble, just five minutes into the game, I thought a Husky loss was all but inevitable. As Klay Thompson drained shot after shot, I wondered how any opponent could keep up with the offensive firepower he was displaying. What a "barn-burner" it turned out to be; edge of the chair entertainment 'til the final buzzer. It had to be ten times more exciting for the UW/WSU fans who were in that arena. Congrats to both teams for their effort. Hope both teams make the post season. Good to see Ross and Wilcox getting tourney experience prior to the "Big Dance".

GO DAWGS!

Todd,
Vegas is a great idea. The West Coast conference championship game between Gonzaga and St Marys had near 7,200 in attendance. If small schools can get those type of crowds, the Pac 12 should be able to at least make the arena look full.
Seeing all those empty seats at the Staple Center on TV doesn't look good for the conference from a national standpoint.

It was weird seeing all those empty seats last night. I looked for Chuck but couldn't find him.
I remember going to first round ncaa games when I first moved here at the Dome. As I recall they packed the place.
I guess it's not the same....Pac 10 vs. Dance.
It was a great game last night. I'm glad I watched it.

Great game to watch! Was fun to watch Klay play and interesting to see how Klay handled his situation.
Thomas played his ass off. I wish Romar could give him one or two breathers throughout the contest...I expect many of his jumpers to fall short this evening due to tired legs.


The Staples Center is located in arguably one of the worst neighborhoods on the whole West Coast...it's hard to even get people from LA to attend.

Vegas? Sounds good in theory but just imagine the amount and variety of temptations for the young kids...I'm sure coaches are more than a little reluctant to have their team spend 3 or 4 nights in Vegas. The NCAA and Vegas are kinda like oil and water...they don't mix too well.

The West Coast Conference has their tourney in Vegas and as far as I know, no kids got into trouble. LA doesn't support the Pac 10 tourney at all. The UW/WSU game has been the best attended so far. Numbers will probably go up for the weekend but it is ridiculous to see all those empty seats on tv. My guess as to why the tourney is in LA is because USC and UCLA want it there. Whatever the Cal schools want they get.

Congrats to the huskies on their win, and good luck against the Ducks.

Hopefully the Cougs season hasn't come to an end.

GO COUGS!!!

Mf

Coogs aren't done yet...but it won't be in the Big Dance, I'm afraid...I think they might have been one win shy, maybe two.

Bring on Arizona...again.

Fish on...

Todd

Chuck, do the Huskies play today? If so..what time?

3pm today, CBS.
