Pac got hosed in general. Oregon particularly.

They made a point about SOS. As GL said, Ok lite isn't chopped liver, but it's probably a better path than as a 8/9 seed

My former college roommate will be cheering for the Buffs since he can't stand the Illini but I don't necessarily like the #10 seed for the Buffs since if they win, they'll go against the #2 seed Miami who just won the ACC tourney.  I'm hoping for at least one win for the Buffs.

 

UCLA might have a shot at the Elite 8 or even Final Four with their seeding.

 

If Oregon didn't win yesterday, they could have been NIT bound.

UCLA would play Florida in the next round. They have a bad track record there...lol

I feel badly for Tony Bennett and Virginia who were not able to overcome early season injuries and resulting losses to some very poor teams.  However, there is no question in my mind the Cavaliers were better than, and had much higher quality wins than, Boise State, Middle Tennessee and St. Mary's.  That said, they had some chances to sew a bid up at the end of the season and didn't get it done.

Ok St is a weird draw IMO.  Thet have great guard play, but I think Kazemi and the boys can win the battle of the boards.  If we play the way we played UCLA, UO should win.  But play like they did at CU and UU, and they would lose.

Happy that the Pac got so many teams in.  Like the draws or not, hope all teams can make some things happen here.  I think we have players to do some damage.  

 

Personally, I love the draw that CU got.  I definitely respect some of the things Illinois and Miami have put together this season but they are far from unbeatable.  Arizona laid down a 20 pt beat-down on Miami for instance.  On the other side of the bracket, Indiana probably meets NC State in Round 2.  That will not be an easy game for the Hoosiers.  There are going to be some surprises from the East Bracket.

I don't worry about the seeding, just who the opponents are and where the games are played. Getting five teams in is a big step in the right direction for the Pac-12, putting us in the company (ACC, Big XII) where we ought to be.

 

--Cal can beat UNLV with a home cooking game. And 'Cuse coming to San Jose isn't a given as a loss.

 

--The Oregon that we saw in the Pac tourney can beat both Okie State and St. Louis. If those are the Ducks who show up.

 

--Zona has a quietly tough draw with Belmont(just ask Stanford). Win that, and the Lobos also won't be an easy take.

 

--Colorado, if Dinwiddie is hot and Booker regains his shooting, could run right over The Illini. However, Miami would be a much bigger challenge, even in Austin.

 

--UCLA, even with the loss of Jordan Adams, ought to beat Minnie. However, Florida is the type of team that can beat you by 30 if you're not on and they are.
