GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
That's Oregon Ducks coach Ernie Kent, apparently throwing some bows.The Pac-10 had a chance to do something of a similar nature in the Pac-10/Big 12 Hardwood Series that went from Thursday through Sunday. The West Coasters had a chance to establish itself as the dominant conference in the country by taking out the pretty decent Big 12.
The Pac-10 won six games to the Big 12's four, but that's not exactly dominant.
Oregon, USC (over Oklahoma, the Kansas game wasn't part of this series), Cal, Washington State, Arizona (over A&M, not Kansas) and Stanford were all winners.
Washington, UCLA, Oregon State and Arizona State did not help the conference's reputation.
What did we learn from all of this?
-Arizona is good. An impressive come-from-a-lot-behind victory over a good Texas A&M team will look great come seeding time.
-UCLA isn't No. 1. Give Texas all the credit in the world for going to LA and taking out the Bruins, who were with Darren Collison, back from injury.
-The Pac-10 isn't as strong as some thought. Winning the series 6-4 is fine, but Oregon, Wazzu and Arizona barely won. The Big 12 could have easily turned things around and gone 7-3.
Nevertheless, it was a fun set of games. (If you root for one of the winning teams, otherwise it sorta blew.) It'll be fun to see some Pac-10/Big 12 match ups come when things really matter, like in March.
