I don’t ever want to hear a PAC fan whining about their draw in the tournament again. So, Michigan appears to be about to lose in the first round, and Purdue seems to be on track to lose at home in the second round. Does that mean we can never hear any B1G fans whining about their draw in the tournament again? The Purdue comment didn't age well. |

Have we heard B1G fans whining about the draws? No, it wouldn't make sense to whine based on the past 3 brackets. Purdue and Penn St. seed give-aways along with Illinois inclusion (though maybe most B1G fans didn't even want the Illini in the tournament in 2019) Though I do think there were some complaints about Nebraska's regional, but, that's placing Texas/Kentucky/Washington all in the same pod and I think that's a legitimate reason to have some animosity towards. |

I just got home from watching the matches in Seattle. |

Huh. OK, well good for them. Sucks for Dayton, I suppose.

She went to USC at the worst time ever. She would have had more significant impact in other programs. I hated her so much as a UW fan lol I hope she does well in Louisville. She was a great selfless player. Keller is already doing 2 things Mick Haley never did..............Mick never played favorites with any of his players and he was never a control freak during match's. Keller has already signed off on both of these items. Who are Kellers' favorites |

I know this is not associated with this thread, but since it is here I will comment. I don’t know Lazaro personally at all, but I was truly impressed with her fight each time she entered the court this year as a serving sub. She brought great positive energy and fought for every point she could. Who does that from a 3-year starter that never left the court except possibly for injury? Anyway, to go from a star (PAC-12 FOY) to a limited role and bring it like she did. Much respect and wish her only the best. |

I don’t ever want to hear a PAC fan whining about their draw in the tournament again. Actually the PAC is doing pretty good in spite of the slights. It appears the only losses for the weekend will be a Timmer-less WSU expected loss to Baylor and Oregon's loss to a Kansas team that just took down 14th seeded Creighton. Kansas has some great players on that team. Utah with BYU could be another one, but again, not a bad or unexpected loss. Respectable, but nowhere near PAC's standards. PAC teams have yet to beat a good team and have lost to a mediocre one. Hope for a Stanford or Utah upset and that neither of the seeds go down. Otherwise it's a net negative weekend for the West coasters. |

Otherwise it's a net negative weekend for the West coasters. "near PAC's standards", standards that have been on a steady decline relative to the rest of the nation over the past decade. Obviously your expectations are different than mine. But yes, Utah and Stanford wins would give me faith that the descent is not as bad as I think. |
