Pac-10 Championship Game Thread: #6 USC Trojans versus #4 Arizona State Sun Devils

We are 1-1 against USC this season, winning our home game and losing on the road. USC is looking good this week, already having taken care of #3 California and #2 UCLA.

It appears that USC has clinched a spot in the NCAA Tournament with their quality wins. I still expect 5 teams to make the tournament from the Pac-10, but USC will take Arizona's spot.

Hopefully James Harden can lead us to the title, and a 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

This is the GameThread for the championship matchup.

Frankly, USC is more of a threat to us than UCLA was- we beat UCLA twice this season, and USC isn't sure they are in the tournament yet. If they won today, their automatic bid would take away a lot of their worries.

Either way, go Devils! I will be at the game, and will Twitter about it during the contest, and write up a recap after.

UCLA is more of a threat – I feel a lot more comfortable against USC than an experienced UCLA team that has been there.

Watching the Purdue Ill. Game

How is Illinois ranked 25th. They scored 33 in game this year. I think that precludes a school from being ranked!

Anyways Go Devils! Can’t wait for this Big Ten game to end.

Just passing the time until spring.

Go Devils

I think we take this one. I believe it will be a hard fought game, but we have a lot of momentum and confidence after last night’s victory! Just what we need going into the dance! Go Devils!

I don't want to jinx anything

I just think this will be a very competitive game.

Love that we aren't relying on Harden

That will only help us later in the game. T

With the way it started I would have thought

the halftime score would be higher than it is.

Great half. Now we just have to hold it.

Glad Harden is getting hot although very happy about JP, Glasser and Ty.

My thing...

…is that we need more depth to make a significant run in the tourney. These 7-8 man rotations won’t cut it against teams like Louisville. Although my head would explode if they met anywhere past the Sweet 16.

Glasser

has played fine, but it seems he sure isn’t active off the ball on offense.

Ah hell

Well at least this increases the odds UofA won’t get in (looking for silver lining.) It was a pleasure posting with myself. Thank you me for carrying on a conversation with myself.

Off to watching the Louisville game.

I wanted to throw things at the refs, but it would have been a bad idea.
