Pac 12 basketball

[520GGATO]

Utah is going to be in the top 4 of the Pac. You heard it here first.

I'll say 2nd.

So what are you preseason rankings for the conference? It's always good to see what we think vs what actually happens.

I have AZ taking both the reg and tourney titles (not that the tourney means near as much as the reg season).

I think that Utah might be second, and Stanford, Colorado, and UCLA will be trying to challenge Utah for 2nd. I think that Cal, and Washington will be the middle of the Pac, (and I hope Oregon can be a part of that middle). ASU, OSU, WSU, USC will all be garbage.

My dark horse is Colorado, and UCLA to make a run for 2nd and a decent seed (8 up) in the tourney.

12. Oregon St.

USC had their scrimmage today... 3 of the true freshman started, I'd be surprised if that lineup continues.

just wanted to give Lorenzo Romar a shout out for, on paper, a great top 10 recruiting class.

glad we got Boatwright and Metu signed for 2015

we can all pray that Brandon Sampson signs with USC too, right???

We got the #1 class in the nation right now for 2015

Only 7 hours and 45 minutes.

Pac-12 is looking tough

Pac-12 is looking tough

The "Wayne Tinkle" era begins...nevermind.

 

[BearDownUA]

gonna be a tough year this year for the conference as a whole, but the arrow is definitely pointing up for several teams in the near future looking at the incoming classes

 

[Arizona_Sting]

The Pac will still get 5 teams in the tourney... my guess is AZ, UTH, COL, UCLA & Stanford.

This year won't be a great year for the Pac, but as BearDown said there are some good recruits coming in and it's on the upswing as a whole.

 

[LASports96]

yah, I'd say Arizona is the odds on definite favorite this year, but going forward the conference should be getting tighter with a number of teams improving.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

BTW- Stanford is pretty underrated, imo. Randle and Brown are probably one of the best backcourt duos in the Pac and they've got a couple highly touted freshman coming in along with Rosco Allen returning.

2017 Final Four is in Glendale, Arizona! Wooo!

2017 Final Four is in Glendale, Arizona! Wooo!

Just saw that. Glendale is the premier host for sporting events... NCAA title game, fiesta bowl, pro bowl, not March madness

 

[LASports96]

USC has a lot of growing pains to go through, a lot of young/new players.

 

[CatsTopPac]

The Mountain trip is going to be sooooooo tough this season. I wouldn't be surprised if no one sweeps, few split, and everyone else gets swept. The Huntsman Center is a sleeping giant that was partially awakened last season, and Utah wasn't near as talented as they will be this season. And, the Keg isn't a walk in the park either. Best road trip in the Pac, with Cal and Stanford a distant 2nd.

 

[LASports96]

better effort from SC this game, but I think rebounding is going to be an issue all year along, not a lot of big bangers on this team, Clark seems like our best banger, but he's an undersized 6'8.

So weird to see Angelo Chol playing for SDSU. Should be a good game vs Utah.
