PrintThere are several games occurring today as listed below:
| Quarterfinals: Thursday, March 12 | |||
| Game 3 | No. 4 Arizona State vs. No. 5 Arizona | 12 p.m. | |
| Game 4 | No. 1 Washington vs. Winner Game 1 | 2:30 p.m. | |
These are the afternoon games and are being broadcast, according to the Pac10 Website, on FSN. For those in the Bay Area, that is Channel 40 on Comcast.
Use this thread to discuss those two games. But let's also discuss our favorite Pac10 Tournament moments. Now, I'm not old enough to remember the first installation in the 80s, so my memories all come from the most recent incarnation.
I think my favorite game was 2OT Cal-Oregon in 2006. It would probably be Cal-UCLA in 2007, but it took place in the afternoon. So, I couldn't watch any of it.
Unfortunately, I was only able to watch half of Cal-Oregon in 2006. But it was the second half (plus OTs), so what a half it was! Plus, if you remember correctly, Cal was down big at half. But Powe, who ended up scoring 41 points, powered us back in! Ubaka hits key free throws down the stretch to stymie the Ducks. I remember the Ducks kept hitting desperation 3 after desperation 3 to put them right back in it. But they kept fouling Ubaka! What foolishness! Ubaka was 8-10 on free throws!
Here are our two main guys celebrating after the key victory:

Unfortunately, they were so tired out that UCLA made easy work of them in the Championship game the next day. Either way, hopefully we'll see tons of Cal smiles this Pac10 Tournament! What's your favorite Pac10 Tournament moment?

Speak for yourself
Cal beating Ucla in ’07 was so Sanchez. And, as we all know, revenge is a dish best served Sanchez.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I remember going to 'zona for the tourney
the second or third year of the 80’s version.
they put all 10 bands and cheerleader squads up at the same hotel.
drunken hilarity ensued.
I don’t remember any of the games, except I think we were terrible.
Go Bears Go
Perhaps life without Hydro will not be as bleak as previously imagined.

Thanks....much appreciated.
Could someone hook a brother up with an audio feed for game 2?

I think you have to subscribe to Yahoo Sports College Broadcast to hear Stanford’s feed.

For me, it was a trap.

There is a way to watch it, but it requires installing external software.

Goodnight to Chase Budinger
ASU-UW in the second round.

HAHA!
Leonard “Don’t Talk About That Dave Chapelle Skit” Washington will nut shot us to victory Louisiana style over the puny University of California School system on the way to a new glorious golden dynasty and a Pac 10 championship (or not)!
…Also, your plan to fight back is the promise of a better hypothesis… pretty weak if you ask me. THE PAC 10 ROUNDTABLE IS OURS I TELL YOU!!
You have a better shot of owning the NIT though!

You just woke a sleeping bear. You didn’t want to do that, oh you DID NOT want to do that.
Soon, you will meet the sound and fury of Mephistopheles and also Mephistopheles.

Optimism my ass
Didn’t you guys hear yet? Tim Floyd is suiting up tonight as he still has a year of eligibility left so you should all start praying to your deities of choice. He said something about “not fouling hard enough” and “playing some defense for once”.
And I know people who graduate Berkeley are proud of their academic… uhhh achievements and everything, but was that a Faulkner reference followed by an allusion to Faust all in one sentence? I just have to shake my head at that.

There’s been some godawful offense in this Furd-UW game. Someone blocked a shot with their hand through the basket. What the hell?
by Avinash Kunnath on Mar 12, 2009 2:57 PM PDT reply actions
UW not playing well at all
Husky bigs are fading away on their shots, and the Furd are way more energetic.

Some of us have computers that are in obvious view. Not me. But some.

Anyone know of a stream for tonight's game?
Looks like probono went bye bye
That end of the first half was pretty tight
Made 3, made 3, BANKED IN 3
by Avinash Kunnath on Mar 12, 2009 3:24 PM PDT reply actions
Does Furd really have a solid offensive strategy?
From what I see here it seems to be “make as many 3s at possible and pound the glass.”

With the amount of times they’ve mentioned the sponsor during this game, they might as well just call is the Pacific Life Conference Tournament.
They should play the tournament on a Pacific Ocean cruiseliner. They can play it on the top deck. With an escort of Pacific Life whales. It’d be AWESOME.

Isaiah has some nice hops
Huskies up by 5 now, 5 and a half to go

UW just driving to the hole now. Dentmon and Overton with 3 free throws puts them up 8
by Avinash Kunnath on Mar 12, 2009 4:21 PM PDT reply actions
Furd settling for jumpers. They’re shooting under 40 percent. Hill’s 2-13. Lead’s up to 10.
by Avinash Kunnath on Mar 12, 2009 4:22 PM PDT reply actions
How the hell did the Furd nearly beat us twice?
by Avinash Kunnath on Mar 12, 2009 4:28 PM PDT up reply actions
These aren’t even good jumpers. They’re at all of the weirdest points and angles on the floor. And some of them are really quick, some of them are quick AND contested. It’s easy to see why this team struggled in the conference.
by Avinash Kunnath on Mar 12, 2009 4:24 PM PDT reply actions
Lead’s up to 11 with just over two minutes left.
by Avinash Kunnath on Mar 12, 2009 4:28 PM PDT reply actions
He shows flashes. If he can pick up his defense he can definitely be a pro.

Washington 85, Furd 73
UW-ASU in the semis.

Almost as epic as Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

personally
I liked setting a Pac-10 record for boards the night before, and out-rebounding USC’s entire team in the process.
