Meanwhile ... things are getting interesting.
#11 Kansas went down earlier today against Baylor.
#18 Clemson went down against Georgia Tech
#11 Villanova barely squeaked by #21 Marquette with a 76-75 win.
I am going by rankings according to ESPN/USA Today Poll and you can check the day's full scoreboard over here.
Those results might have an impact on UCLA's tourney seedings provided the Bruins take care of business on their own end tonight.
We get to find out soon. Meawhile, for those who are taking in the ongoing Pac-10 action here is our pre-game thread leading to our game thread which will go up around 8:00 pm PST.
Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

Streaming Radio Online
Does anyone know if there is streaming radio online for the Pac-10 tournament. I know the games are being broadcast over the radio waves locally, but at least twice I’ve found the message “not available streaming” when I tried to listen to a station carrying the game online. There must be some way to get these games over the internet, but I can’t figure it out. cst.com maybe?? Please help.

I watched the Kansas-Baylor game earlier
Kansas was shooting jumpers really well for awhile and then they suddenly hit a cold spell where they got a bunch of open looks but kept missing. That allowed Baylor to build a 7 point lead with about 3:30 left (when they had been trailing by 5 before). Their play kinda reminded me of the first ASU game where we built a lead and then assumed the other team would give up. It’s kinda interesting that they probably won’t get nearly as much bad press about their dry spell as we did though.
Also they never fed Cole Aldrich. They should be feeding him every chance they get.

WV Beats Pitt 71-60
If anyone is surprised by that, they haven’t been paying attention to WV — very dangerous team.

Sc leads by 15 at the half
Pitt lost to West Virginia this evening, 74-60.

For such an early exit in their tourney ...
I’d bump Pitt down to a two seed …. but they will probably still get their #1, just not in the East.

Yes, come backs are exciting
But, I want us to come out like barn cats and play like barn cats throughout the game.
Come backs are over rated.

Cal getting beat on boards 37-18
Yes, Cal using small line up to bring in speed, but that’s an amazing difference. To still be in the game is amazing.
Also, Cal not shooting well from 3 pt line — and still in the game.

I hope we get Donny Mac tonight.
He’s been doing studio duty and that may be because he has our game.
No offense to MJ who is an all time great Bruin, but I can’t take more of him, tonight.

Unfortunatley
we are stuck with Marques and his worthless partner.

Montgomery is a good game coach
He’s given up the boards 43-19 to go with a smaller line up that is staying in the game. Losing one battle to maybe win a war.
