Did anyone else see the buzzer-beater by Stanford after a mad scramble for the loose ball on a broken play versus Washington St. ???

Un-freaking-believable.

Stanford seems like a team of destiny.

I tuned in last night just in time to see the 5sec call and then the shot by Lottich.

HOLY COW, That was awesome. I felt bad for WSU but what a comeback and what a great shot by Lottich.

That is why college basketball is so fun to watch. It is unpredictable and very final and definate in its outcomes.

Looking forward to my favorite sporting event in the world; the NCAA tournament. :thumbup:

Stanford has been the recipient of some good luck this season. Don't count out UW on Saturday, they're playing awesome right now and their home crowd will be jacked up considering a NCAA Tourney berth is on the line.

While Stanford is a very good team, I think they're definitely not an automatic lock for the Final Four. I mean, ASU and Washington State both should have beat them.

Yes I am smart.

I'm looking forward to the Pac10 Tourney this year. Everyone bags on the Pac but with Stanford's poise, Washington's level of play right now, and Arizona's athleticism, any or all three of these teams are capable of making a deep NCAA Tournament run. I wonder if Montgomery and his players are going to mail it in this year in the Pac10 Tourney, a la Arizona last year, since they have the #1 seed in the West already locked up. It wouldn't surprise me considering Monty shares Olson's distaste for the Pac10 Tournament.

Hopefully, Washington's win puts them in the NCAA Tournament, but if they lose in the first round of the Pac-10 tourney, they might even have a tough time getting in. It sucks for them, but their RPI is ridiculously bad.

I think the win will put them in. Even if they lose in the first round, unless it is a total ass-kicking I still think they make it. They are playing good ball right now and the committee will get them in...if for no other reason than having a 3rd PAC10 team since it is highly unlikely another PAC teams gets in without running the tourney table.
