01/07/10

What an embarrassment the Pac-10 basketball is this year! So many bad losses at the beginning of the season. Cal vs NMU. Stanford vs USD. Stanford vs ORU. Oregon vs Montana. OSU vs AMCC. OSU vs Sac St. USC vs LMU. UCLA vs CSUF. UCLA vs LBSU. Arizona @ SDSU. Not to mention the poor performances of WSU @ Kansas St, Washington @ TTU and Cal vs Syracuse. I'm sure there's more too, I just can't remember them all. That was only the start!

The opening week of the Pac-10 conference play was just as shocking. Who would've thought Oregon would go up and sweep the Washington schools? Or who would've thought Oregon State would get blown out by 51 at home to Division II Seattle University? Or that UCLA would beat Cal?

Don't get me wrong. I love the Pac-10 and will back them 100%. But the entire conference has been atrocious from top to bottom. Just when you think Washington will be one of the elite teams, they fall to Oregon. Same story with Washington State. It will be interesting to see who emerges at the end of the season. Who knows...the conference champ could have 9 losses!

Signing off.

the pac 10 has lost a lot of talent in the last couple of years. Much like the sec last year, this is a transition year for the conference. It'll be back or at least i hope.
