  Would be a huge accomplishment for the women. 1-1 could get us there and 2-0 definitely would. 2-0 also gains a share of the conference regular season title

  Indeed…now 24-3. I am excited to see tomorrow’s bracketology, biased as it is.

    It looks that Utah is the 2-seed in the Pac-12 tourney, playing next Thursday at 7p MT against the 7 v 10 winner.

      If the Lady Utes beat Stanford on Saturday, how is it possible that they are a #2 seed in the PAC-12 tournament? In league play, the Utes losses would be to #1 Stanford, #3/4 Colorado, and #3/4 Arizona. Whereas, Stanford losses would be to #1 Utah, #6 USC, and #8 Washington.

        Tie-Breakers: Tie-breaking procedures for determining all tournament seeding will be:
        1. Two-team tie
        a. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season. (1-1)
        b. Each team’s record (won-lost percentage) vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular standings, and then continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record (won-lost percentage) against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams. (Stanford swept Colorado and Arizona)

  I expect that dude to soon post something about hoping we can hold at least a 4-seed, so that we host the early rounds.

    I’m now comfortable we will host the first two rounds. Guessing to hold onto a 1 seed we need to beat Stanford tomorrow or win the Pac-12 tournament. A great season no matter what happens.
    
    Now I just hope when we host the first two rounds that fans actually show up.

      I think we’d probably hold the 1-seed with a loss on Saturday and a loss in the Pac-12 tourney championship game.

        Well, it obviously depends a lot on what everyone else does. If any of the current two seeds win out the rest of the way and we take two losses, I think we likely slip to a 2 seed, but I don’t think that’s too much of a big deal.

  Good news bad news. Good news for Utah, but the bad news is that the “fix” is in for the B1G with five out of the top 16 teams. There is no way that Michigan and Ohio State should be included over Arizona and Colorado.

      Now that you listed their current institutional affiliations, how about listing their connections to the B1G conference. Just because someone currently represents a school or conference doesn’t mean that they don’t have a bias in favor, or against, another conference in which they attended school or held a job.

    I thought the fix was in for the ACC?
