Not sure we have any realistic chances of getting a 4 seed, unless we come out with just one loss out of the remaining conference games. If we can split next week in LA, that’d be a big win in itself. Don’t think beating UW and WSU will do much for us.
I guess a getting into the conference tourney final could get us there.
I’d rather have a 6 seed than a 4. Puts you on the opposite side of the bracket from the 1 seed. As a 4 you would meet the 1 in the sweet 16.
That’s a good point. Right now Oregon State is projected as a 3 seed. Three seed also avoids #1 until elite eight. If they have a successful road trip, certainly possible.
But it would be nice to have the first 2 rounds at the Hunty.
Good point.
Most of the projections I’ve seen prior to yesterday had Utah as a 5 and CU as a 1, with UCLA and OSU both as a 2 or 3. It will be interesting to see how everything else shakes out the rest of the weekend - a few more projected high seeds have tough matchups.
I think OSU should be #1…size, athleticism, skills. Winning on the road against top competition.
That will probably be the case once it’s all said and done. They have another great opportunity tomorrow vs. USC.
There was more than one wild ending between PAC-12 contenders Friday night. First UCLA thought they won, then OSU, then UCLA, then OSU wins at buzzer.
That Beaver team has a great player in Kelsey Rees.
$C just beat the Beavers.
It’s really gonna be interesting down the final stretch here in the Pac-12… the top half of the conference is an absolute logjam.
The Utes can really help their cause next weekend against the LA schools. It’s too bad they don’t have a rematch against Stanford.
I’d be ecstatic if we just split the LA trip. Preferably, beating $C because it’s on a hot streak and just beat the Beavers.
I think Utah will finish in the Top 4 of the standings, which is a major accomplishment this year considering the fact that the Pac-12 has 6 teams ranked inside the Top 20 of the Top 25 rankings (#3 Stanford, #7 USC, #9 Oregon State, #11 Colorado, #12 UCLA, and #18 Utah).
I hear you on that. Though, USC got that win because they badly out-rebounded OSU because of Beers being out. You want to talk about an MVP in this league, where would OSU be without Beers to balance their offense and defense.
True. I do want to beat a higher ranked team, though.
The latest Creme mathification continues to list Utah as a 5-seed.
Good article on where we are.
