These games are boring and somehow ESPN is forcing two women's games that are even worse blowouts. I will say Cho on the UCLA women's team is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. My gawd

I didn't find the Bama game too boring.

The PAC doesn't live in the past.

Unlike some schools.

Why would you when the past sucks?

What a retarded come back. The PAC & ACC are tied for most hoop championships.

That is a bit funny as two of the schools I think of that 'live in the past' are the two LA schools.

PAC plays some good bball, but during the regular season, this wasn't a great conference. I think Colorado might be the most talented team in the conference, but this year the PAC has gotten some hot teams with Oregon State, Oregon, and the LA schools are making news.

Will be interesting to see how (or if) any of them make it to the final four.

Beavers are going to have it tough against Loyola, Ducks play Trojans so one will lose, and UCLA has Bama which is going to require the Bruins best.

Huh?

PAC has 11 - UCLA with 11
ACC has 15 - UNC (6), Duke (5), Louisville (2), NC State (2)

This is wrong. I was looking at only multiple Nattys.

With current placements, ACC is up 17-16, with the placement when the Natty was one, you are right that they are tied.

USC put a women’s tournament type beat down on Kansas. Men’s teams don’t get beat by 40 points

UCLA=sleeper to the Final 4!!!!

But... I thought that the Pac doesn't live in the past? And everyone knows the Bruins cheated, more than one of the players from those days has come out and admitted as much. All Wooden has said is if it was going on, he didn't know about it.

1999-present, the B1G has sent 36 more teams to the NCAA tournament than the Pac has.

1999-2019, the B1G has won 78 more games in the NCAA tournament than the Pac has.

2021, B1G has won 7 games so far, Pac has won 9. So the Pac has gained a whole TWO wins on the B1G and are now down to a minus 76 from 1999 to the present.

You got some weird hardon for loving other teams accomplishments. The comment was about this year, none of the random garbage you are spewing has to do with this year.

Not sure what your point is....if you ask anyone with a decent brain, they will all say that it's been VERY disappointing tournament for the Big Ten. Ohio State and Illinois are two teams a lot of people predicted to go deep, and neither of them made it to the second week. Michigan is alive, but will suffer without Isiah, and I would be surprised if they get past a very athletic FSU team.

Meanwhile, everyone who knows basketball will also realize that the PAC is having a great tournament thus far, and last night a mid-level PAC team beat a blue blood by damn 40 points.

When the Elite 8 comes, I think the Big Ten will have zero teams left, and the PAC will have just 1, but you'll insane or just incredibly biased if you don't see that the Big Ten has had an awful tournament whereas the PAC has had a great one.

You said the past not fixed cherry picked years

It's simple, some PAC fan made the statement that the Media should have been staying up late to watch "real" basketball, with the implication being that basketball outside of the PAC isn't "real" basketball, and IF that is the case THIS season, that somehow the media should have known this.

I simply responded by reminding that poster as to WHY the media and most of the country east of the Rocky Mountains wasn't watching, much less respecting, PAC bb.

ZERO tourney wins as recently as 2018.


ZERO!!!!!!!!!


In the worst 2 post seasons for the B1G since 1999, they still won 3 games and went 12-5 the year inbetween. PAC went an ugly 4-7 in just 2016, followed by 0-3 in 2018 and 4-3 in 2019. There was no post season in 2020, so no way for PAC teams to show any evidence of improvement from the most recent past. As for this year, OOC play was limited, and PAC teams would have been more highly rated/seeded if they had won a bunch of big games in the OOC part of the season.

As a WSU fan, if you don't latch yourself to other team's accomplishments(other PAC schools), what do you have? Anything? Anything at all???

To be fair ^^^^ all of that is true. Now that the PAC shed itself of the worst commissioner look for improvement.

According to sports.-reference.com Oregon made it to the regional semifinal in 2019. Beat Wisconsin, UC Irvine & lost to Virginia.
