Could the Pac-10 Send Eight Teams to the NCAA Tournament?
Crazier things have happened, no?
Arizona and UCLA are mortal locks. Oregon is three points from perfect. USC has four losses, but has been sensational since Gabe Pruitt returned.
Washington State beat Gonzaga and Arizona.
Young Stanford (!) won at Virginia (where Arizona lost), then defeated two ranked opponents.
Even California is in the mix, with today's win over Washington.
Losers of five of their last six, the Huskies are in trouble. But Lorenzo Romar's club has plenty of talent and it is tough to imagine a team that beat both LSU and Northern Iowa won't get serious Selection Sunday consideration.
Given all of the above, five bids are all but certain, six are likely, seven are possible, and eight...who knows?
