There is no practical chance right now that Stanford will not be conference champion (barring major injury or something like that), and it's nearly certain they will be sole champion.

Bold (and almost certainly wrong) prediction: CU goes 7-2 the rest of the season and makes the tournament.

Bold (and almost certainly wrong) prediction: CU goes 7-2 the rest of the season and makes the tournament. I hope 7-2 happens, but I would not predict that. I would say 4-5 more. With CU's top scorer out for however long, it's a question mark. The good news is that Colorado has a good chance of making the tournament just by winning 4 more games (not even 7). 5 games and they are likely in ... IMO. The team is playing better in almost all facets. Still some frustrating playing at times, but it hasn't been all match long and they seem to shake it off before it's too late. Dwinell has been the smartest hitter on the court the last few games, and Payne and Burilovic are getting better. It's nice seeing all of these Colorado freshmen growing and improving quickly. It will be interesting to see how CU does on the away matches. They will need to pick up a couple road games to feel good about being selected for the tourney. They only have 3 more matches at home. |

I think 6 at least is realistic. They get UCLA/Washington at home, Utah/OSU/Arizona/Cal on the road. Oregon away, WSU @ home are a big ask. ASU on the road is doable but maybe not likely. |

Don't sell the Beavs short; they are improving, and have good floor D. They competed well v. Stanford. |

JJ has to be a lock for COY at this point?

So, I got busy playing video games, and I remember to check the scores today and ... well, this was unexpected.

4 teams tied for 8 (or 8-11) at 4-8. That's a lot of wins for the bottom of the conference, very bad for the middle/top and their seeds/tourney prospects.

So we now have six teams either 5-7 or 4-8, four teams either 9-3 or 8-4, and one team (each) at 11-1 and 1-11.
