There might be 5 Pac10 teams still playing in April but they won't be still playing bb unless it's intramurals.

Wildcats 8-10 Pac 10 record and 7 th. place finish does not bode well for them as their first round opponent is Oregon State and their 0-18 conf. record so they will get no credit or rpi bump for that victory. Then they will meet number 2 seed Stanford who will be well rested getting first round bye. Of course anything is possible but now they need to rise up to a level that they haven't showed me they are capable of. They have been a huge disapointment this year !
Looking at the standings it will be hard for the bubble teams, knowing each of them have 2 wins vs a winless team. Pretty big week for Az St and Oregon. Personally think Oregon jumps Az St thanks to their win over the Sun Devils this week. Oh, and Az St is 5-7 the last 12, so they are not helping their cause.
Only two teams I can see doing anything is UCLA and USC. Would love to see Wazzou make a run, but I can see an athletic team with good guards beating them.
But it is a guard-oriented tourney. Stanford looks like many of their old teams. Just not sold on the backcourt. Wash St, I'm not sure what to make of them. If Arizona can go to Pullman at the end of the year and win, that would be a red flag. They would be a difficult matchup for a round-2 team, with one day to prepare.
