PrintBen Ball warriors don't get back in action till tomorrow night. So we will have to wait for another 24 hours for JA and his team-mates to attack the rim:

Still I am sure many here are taking tourney actions going on coast to coast on WWL and other networks. We might as well open it up for a special tourney thread.
Pac-10 actions gets started tonight around 6 pm PST with #8 Oregon State taking on #9 Stanford (winner plays #1 Washington). Unless you have been under a rock you should know that we will be taking on the winner between #7 Washington State and #10 Oregon which will get started around 8:30 pm PST. You can check out the full schedule here (HT drumfool).
So if you are hanging around BN tonight watching tonight's Pac-10 games or hoops from across the country, this thread is for you. This would be the thread where you can drop you knowledge - quick takes, observations, commentary - on other teams that might work out as a good scouting report/early notes for a future opponent.
So fire away.
GO BRUINS.

I love the Pac 10 Tournament from a personal perspective
I get the all-session tickets and get to watch some great ball. Tomorrow is my favorite day with four games. From a competitive perspective, it sucks because the round robin is the fairest way, but it makes for a fun four days. Even though tonight’s games won’t be of the highest quality, I’m excited just to get the tournament going.

Do you know where UCLA's sections are tomorrow?
I’m thinking I might head out. I should have done what you did and bought tix for the entire tourney.

We've got a good chunk of fans behind both baskets

Sorry...poorly worded question by me
Do you happen to know which side of Staples UCLA’s bench will be on (i.e. closer to sec 110 or 112?)

I have no idea
Oregon St. and Washington St. were on different benches tonight despite both being the home team. The benches are on the other side of the court though and at least last year, UCLA was in front of section 119 for all their games.

Thanks for the info
I’d noticed that OSU and WSU were on opposite sides too.
Guess I’ll just have to get front row center and not take any chances. :P

Small Correction
Nestor, I believe the games start at 6 pm PST, not EST.
I too am looking forward to the Pac-10 Tourney, especially this year as it looks to be very competitive all around. Well…starting tomorrow anyway.
Jay Williams and Hubert Davis
Yeah …Eastern Sports Program Network … is not tilted towards ACC or anything.
Looks like Oregon St's methodical approach
is getting the upperhand v. Stanford’s up temp offense early on.
Man, how hot are the Fox Sports Lights?
Don McLean is dripping sweat up there.
…Btw, as much as it would be nice to get some retribution against Wazzu, I have to admit that I’m rooting for Oregon to pull off the miracle upset here.

Wow ... Texas Tech
has come all the way back to tie Texas A&M with 1:10 remaining …. they were down 19 at the half.
Little surprised WSU still has their starters in, up big, late
Don’t they have another game tomorrow? Oh, well, helps us.
Last game for EKent?

It should be the last year for Ernie
New arena in a year- They need a new coach too. Just look at how much Cal has improved since getting a real coach on the bench.

the ducks
are absolutely awful.
wow.
no defense. no offense other than jacking up random threes.
wsu is a great defensive team. we will have our hands full.
Few would be a coup
Think he’d choose Oregon over Arizona?
by insomniacslounge on Mar 11, 2009 10:39 PM PDT up reply actions
I definitely think so
He’s from Oregon and an Oregon grad. Throw in their new arena opening after next year and all the money Phil Knight will throw at him and I think it’s going to be done soon after Gonzaga is ousted from the tourney.

Good info again
I knew he was from the northwest, but not that he was an OU grad. That certainly changes things.

Baseball lost 10-6
They took a 6-4 lead into the 9th and gave up 6.

I was at Staples tonight so I wasn't there
It’s probably a good thing though. This team is not making me very happy and I would not have been a happy camper had I been there.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Mar 11, 2009 10:44 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm guessing that was the fastest you've ever gotten out of the parking lot at Staples
Attendance looked sparse on tv.

It was bigger than it's been on Wednesday night in years past
There was probably 6 or 7 thousand there tonight. In past years there’s only been 4 or 5 so it was an improvement.

WSU was great on defense
So great on defense, that Oregon managed to shoot .467 from the charity line
STOP THE PRESSES.
Harden was just called for an offensive foul for pushing off with his right hand~!
How many times did he flop to the floor after shooting?
That’s his other great offensive move.
