Well, that’s more like it.

The Pac-12 put five schools into the tournament this year after having just two sneak in last season.

> Arizona is a No. 6 seed and will face very dangerous and 11th-seeded Belmont in the second round in the West Region on Thursday.

> No. 6-seed UCLA will face No. 11-seed Minnesota on Friday in Austin in the South Region. Immediate thought there is the soft interior defense of UCLA will have a problem with ferocious Trevor Mbakwe and the Gophers.

> Colorado is a 10 seed and will take on seventh-seeded Illinois …

Here in Haas Pavilion for Hickory High vs. Deer Lick, er, Washington vs. Cal. Sitting with my colleagues on a bleacher bench that does not have a back. Certainly the old-school feel lives here in Haas. Thread on the jump:

> The Huskies controlled the entire game and moved to 10-5 overall and, more importantly, 2-0 in conference play with two road wins.

> Under-8 timeout and Washington is maintaining its double-digit lead. The Huskies are up 52-38, continue to control the boards and run solid offense.

> Under-12 timeout and Washington is bumbling through the half, but …

Ryan Divish — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 18:55:34 +0000

It seems impossible to believe considering the last few weeks. But there were were four Pac-12 teams in action last night and all four came away with wins. Of course, three of the teams were pretty weak.
