3/6 So what's up with Pac-10 basketball this year? Oregon, Arizona,
'furd, Cal, and UCLA, a lot of middle strength(AP9-20), but no
elite teams? And how far will Cal go in the tourney?
\_ How far Cal will go depends a lot on the matchups. We cause
problems for undisciplined, athletic teams like UCLA. We have
difficulty with well-coached teams with solid passers, like
Arizona. I don't think we can beat Duke, but I could see us
beating a team like Maryland. We're 5-4 vs. top-25 teams this
season, so we can definitely put some wins together.
The NCAA tourney is the most difficult bet in sports. No one
really knows what the hell might happen. That's why it's also
the greatest sporting event on the planet. -tom
\_ Err...like you know what's gonna happen with other sports?
\_ It's a question of the degree of predictability. Don't
be obtuse. -tom
\_ Curling, duh! Nothing beats curling!
\_ Bah. Maybe in the US, but not the world.
\_ Don't even try to throw the World Cup in there. Penalty
kicks are a fucked-up way to decide important games.
The Tour de France has some cachet but it's too
predictable. -tom
\_ And penalties/free throws are more exciting?
\_ seriously. kind of like how it's called
the "world series". maybe if they let the rest
of the world actually play. canada does not count.
\_ dude, it's only a misnomer when they have a team that
can play at our level. ob yermom.
\_ isn't cuba better than us? what's ob? |
