How about The Beavs just win the whole damn Pac-12 tourney?! That'd take care of a lot of things for us, I believe. Let's Go Beavs!! Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. With a lineup back to full strength the Beavers are capable of beating anyone in the Pac-12. If something happens and they get underseeded in the NCAA Tournament, well, that's probably too bad for the teams that wind up facing them.

In order to do that, we would (most probably) have to beat Colorado, Stanford, and then either UCLA or USC. That would probably move us up to a 2 seed, unless strange things happened elsewhere this week. Stanford would remain a 1 seed, but would be the PAC 12's only 1 seed. As the 2 seed that won the PAC 12 tournament, I would think that would get us into the Portland Regional. The best part, however, would be playing in the very last PAC 12 women's basketball game and winning it.

The Pac-12 is now up to 7 teams in Charlie Creme’s latest bracketology with WSU in the field (rgeorge didn’t think they were on the bubble, but Creme seems to have a different opinion). Hopefully they can beat Cal and get in. Ethridge is a great coach.
Arizona didn’t have a great non-conference and that may keep them on the wrong side of the bubble.

I'm looking at the top 25 scores and am trying to find some evidence that would support our drop to #13. Any insights???

Charlie has WSU in the field. I just don't see it. A couple wins this week, maybe, but it's still a 'no' for me.

They have only lost 4 games. NC State won two games and moved up two spots. One of those wins was against ranked Syracuse. That may not be evidence the Beavs should have been passed, but that is the 'why' the Beavs dropped.

If they beat Cal, they have Stanford. Not seeing that as a W. With the normal chaos in conference tournaments just don't see an 9th place Pac12 team, at 19-14 overall, 4-8 in their last 12 as a tourney team. Especially win the committee takes in to account key injuries. But??

Take a look at some of their schedules and tell me how they are remotely deserving. Might have better records than Washington St., but no good wins. Cougs have a really nice win against Gonzaga as well as UCLA and Colorado in conference. I'm not sure how many Big East teams are currently projected to be in, but other than UConn and Creighton they've really done nothing to earn bids. Somehow they have to pick 68 teams. If there are gonna be some questionable selections, I'd sure rather have it be a Pac 12 team than 3/4 of the SEC getting in.

If there are gonna be some questionable selections, I'd sure rather have it be a Pac 12 team than 3/4 of the SEC getting in. Creme has Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, and Green Bay as the other “last 4 in.” Green Bay has a solid resume (2-0 against NET top-25) but also some bad losses (4 against teams 100+). Mississippi State and Vanderbilt play weak non-conference schedules and were okay in a pretty average SEC. Washington State has 3 excellent wins and has played a very tough schedule. Getting swept by Cal doesn’t help much but the bubble is pretty weak. They also had a tougher schedule in the second half after Leger-Walker’s injury (3 of their first 8 opponents were in top half, but 6 of their last 10 were).

AP moves Beavs up to #12. USC up to #3. Stanford down to #4. UCLA at #., Colorado, and Utah both stay in top 20 in fact Utah moved up to #20 despite having more losses than anyone in the top 25. I know it's the last year for the Pac12, but with the high rankings of these teams, I hope they show well in the tournament. www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/rankings

Well one good fact to hang our hats on: We never lose unless its to a top 5 caliber team on the road and/or our best player is out.

Just saw an early projection of who we might be hosting as a #3 seed in Albany Region, take it for what it's worth. We would open in Corvallis playing Cal Baptist. Auburn and Louisville would be other two teams

Auburn and Louisville would be other two teams We've historically had trouble with Louisville, but I think this year we can take them... especially with it being at Gill.
