Let's see a fairly officiated game and see who wins. This was abysmal,
almost criminal. It's a pity, because it would have been a great game with
fair officiating.

It's the same thing year in, year out. The Western teams whine that they
get no respect - and when tourney time rolls around, prove that they never
deserved any.

I live out West. The few good teams out here skate blithely through a
cupcake schedule. They rarely play east of the Rockies and build up huge
win totals against mediocre competition. It looks impressive, but they
rarely build up the kind of mental toughness needed to compete successfully
against teams from the ACC, Big East, C-USA, etc. Those conferences are
meat grinders and only the best teams emerge from them.

Let's see how far they go. It's played out year after year.

Leave it to some Google Groups wanker to jump on my post, nitpick it, and
try to say that I said that Arizona doesn't deserve respect. Obviously, a
team that wins deserves respect. Western teams usually do not. Arizona is
the last Western team left. The usual pattern is that no Western team will
make the final 8. The fact that one did this year doesn't change that
picture.

The usual pattern is that all the Western teams will be gone by the Sweet
16.

You're a fucking idiot. First of all, the PAC-10 couldn't possibly be
overrated because all the talk was that Washington was a weak,
undeserving 1 seed, Arizona couldn't play tough defense, Stanford and
UCLA were lucky to be invited at all, etc. What rock knocked you
unconscious and caused you to miss the news? Second, the PAC-10 has
been represented in the final four numerous times in the past decade.
Third, Arizona just knocked the asses of the mighty OK St right back
to Oklahoma.

You're a retard. You're as hopeless as Terri Schiavo. Kill yourself,
or ask a judge to do it for you.

I think the "West" also had at least 1 representative in the F4 from
about the mid-late 60's through the early 70's.

Wooden, yeah, I think that's his name. He had some success.

I think what y'all are getting at is that the ACC is kicking

for THDTIW (the huge disappointment that is Wake).

You've said the P-10 didn't deserve more than 4 slots, and 2 of those 4 lost

sweet 16, so how was the P-10 a strong league?

I said the Pac Ten didn't deserve more then 4 slots because there were

well yeah, that's what i said you said.
That doesn't speak to weak league.> That speaks to top heavy league.

It's not top heavy when 2/4 lose in round 1, and as you said those weren't
even upsets. If you're an underdog in round 1, it means you weren't a strong
team. Stanford was an 8 seed, UCLA an 11, one of the last to get in. That's
weak.

"top heavy" is getting say 3 or 4 teams in, but they are all seeded say 5th
or higher.
The Pac Ten was a strong league this year> based on conference RPI that I've seen listed anywhere from 2nd to 6th> nationally.

I've seen it at #2. I don't get that. How can the league be so strong but
not have very many good teams? The RPI seems wacky...
And one more time...Arizona..the­ league 2nd place team (regular season> champion) a 3 seed...beat a 2 seed. Does that mean the Pac Ten was> UNDERRATED?

Arizona is always good under Olson - i never question them. He's built a
top-tier program over the past 20 years. But remember that if Stoudamire
doesn't hit what can fairly be caled a pretty lucky shot last night, they
are out.

In contrast, W was spanked by Louisville. UCLA was spanked, Stanford was
routed, etc.
As for the first round exits, you sure pin a lot of stupidity on an 11th
8th seeded team losing.

No, the fact that they were seeded so mediocrely means the P-10 wasn't top
heavy...

No. A #3 seed (presumably #9-12 in the country) goes 1-1
against 2 seeds (presumably #5-8). Doesn't tell us much
of anything about Arizona's rating, much less the whole
conference.

The Pac-10 was not a strong league this year compared to many other
years. Even so, there is a representative in the Elite Eight.

no, top-heavy is "extremely better not just compared to others in your

and since when is 16-3 & 15-4 "extremely better" than 12-7/11-8...?

Circular argument. If the RPI is that strong then that means the teams
that good.

.. or that RPI didn't do a good job of assessing them...

If the league was top-heavy (using the moronic bo-shamp definition), how can

Yeah. The double-clutch, last second shot to beat Arizona State was a
lucky shot. A two with two defenders in his face is a fairly common
make for Salim. Hell, a three with two defenders in his face is pretty
common.

If the shot to beat Oklahoma State was lucky, he's been lucky almost all
year...

"er". You forgot the "er".

In comparison to C-USA, the Pac-10 was strong. It doesn't, for
instance, have 4 teams ranked worse than 150 in Sagarin.
