PrintDon't change that channel just yet! Oregon v. Cal Take 2! First, the Cal men win, 78-60. And now, the Cal women take on Oregon. Same channel! Not sure if JustinTV will be streaming this (it isn't, it's streaming UCLA-UW), but Channel Surfing will. Go Bears! Beat the Ducks! AGAIN!
And feel free to use this to discuss the men's victory over Oregon (just to keep threads at a minimum).
Thursday, Feb. 19, 8:00 p.m.: Oregon at No. 6 Cal (Radio: KALX 90.7-FM, TV: CSN-California)
SCOUTING OREGON The Oregon Ducks (9-15, 5-8 Pac-10) are coming off a come-from-behind victory against Washington on Saturday, Feb. 14 on in Eugene, Ore. Junior guard Micaela Cocks scored 17 points in the second half, going four-for-four from three-point range, to help the Ducks erase a 10-point deficit to earn a 77-69 victory. They shot 56.8 percent from the field overall in the game and had a span where they connected on 13 of the 19 field-goal attempts (68.4 percent). The victory snapped a string of six straight Pac-10 losses for the Ducks. Earlier in the week, Oregon struggled from the floor, making just six of their 17 field goal attempts in the second half in their 58-45 loss to Washington State. The Ducks have scored fewer than 50 points in three of their last five games.
Cocks leads the team in scoring, averaging 14.3 ppg. Junior guard Taylor Lilley is the only other Oregon player to average double figures, scoring 10.4 ppg.
Oregon leads the all-time series 36-20 and 30-18 in Pac-10 play. Cal has won the last five straight meetings.

Cal is up 19-4.

The Pac-10: where quality officiating happens.
In the other game relevent to Cal:
I’m pretty sure it would be better for Cal if UCLA beat the Huskies, but I have a hard time rooting for the Bruins.
I’d rather root for Oregon to beat Udub.

It's hard to watch Cal women's games when they're not playing ASU or Stanford
because they’re so typically blowouts.
Eh.
I don’t know about you but I love it when we blow out opponents. Means we’re doing well. :P
That being said, you’re right that currently, the depth of the Pac10 is not very deep. However, UCLA should become a contender in the coming years.
UCLA pulls away from Udub
so now it’s a 4 way tie in the loss column on top the Pac-10
10-4 Washington
9-4 Arizona St.
9-4 Cal
9-4 UCLA
8-5 Arizona
Gonna be a hell of ride down the stretch
It's still anyone's conference to win
The Washingtons still have to play the Arizonas (though at home), the LAs have to come up to the Bay, and the Bay schools have to play at the Arizona schools. Each of the top five teams could easily lose two more games. No one has an easy final stretch.

The good news for Cal
Is that we would win most tie breaker scenarios thanks to the Udub sweep, although beating UCLA at home would go a long way to helping that situation.
The bad news is we arguably have the toughest schedule the rest of the way.
