Two of the three leaders, Cal and Stanford head to Oregon for two games. ASU should come to the Bay Area next week at 10-2, and still in the race. So a bit of a lull before the storm, assuming Cal and Stanford keep there wits about them. OK, enough with the clichés
1. Cal (19-3, 10-1) Cal came so close to disaster against USC, or they came up big to win an extremely close game. Your call. But whatever your thoughts, two big wins for the Bears. Hampton was outstanding again, 29 points and 25 rebounds in the two games. Walker also big with 29 points and 17 rebounds. In the win over UCLA, Vital had 16 points.
Thursday @ Oregon State, Saturday @ Oregon, 1:00, TV
2. Stanford (19-3, 9-2) Player Of the Week Candice Wiggins had 48 points. Kayla Pederson scored 28 points, a career high, with 10 rebounds against USC. In her two games this past week, Jayne Appel scored 27 points, had 24 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocked shots.
Tuesday @ Santa Clara, Thursday @ Oregon, Saturday @ Oregon State
2. Arizona State (15-7, 9-2) Like Cal, nearly the victim of a major upset, this to Oregon, or they got tough at the end of the game. Against Oregon State, ASU’s four post players scored 46 points on 19 of 25 shooting. Against Oregon those same four scored 24 points on 10 of 24 shooting.
Friday, Arizona
4. USC (13-9, 6-5) Lost twice in their trip to the Bay Area, although it was close against Cal. But the Stanford game was not close at all. LaNoir, who was scoreless against Stanford, hit for 21 against Cal, but took 25 shots.
Friday, Washington, Sunday, Washington State
4. UCLA (11-11, 6-5) Lost a pair like USC while in the Bay Area. Lindsey Pluimer continues to be a rock with 30 points and 12 rebounds in the two games. With an 11-11 record and only 8-10 games left before the Tournament selections, UCLA will be hard pressed to make the NCAA’s. They are now at a crossroads, and really have to step it up.
Friday, Washington State, Sunday, Washington, 1:30 TV
6. Washington (9-13, 4-6) Routed Washington State. 10 of 22 three’s, Redmon with 20 points.
Friday @ USC, Sunday @ UCLA, 1:30 TV
7. Oregon (10-12, 4-7) Lost two in the desert, although almost pulled off a huge upset in Tempe. Taylor Lilley had 22 points against Arizona, Nurse 15 against ASU, but missed the winning shot at the end.
Thursday , Stanford, Saturday, Cal, 1:00 TV
8. Oregon State (10-12, 3-8) They too lost a pair in the desert. Frosh Talisa Rhea continues to play well with 29 points in the two games.
Thursday, Cal, Saturday, Stanford
9. Arizona (9-13, 3-8) Two big wins for the Wildcats. Beating Oregon was huge for their program, and then kept it up to beat Oregon State. Ify Ibekwe was no longer Ify as she had her best week in college with 30 points and 19 rebounds in the two games. Ashley Whisonant had 39 points, the 2nd best two game total in the Pac 10.
Friday @ ASU
10. WSU (3-18, 0-10) Lost huge in June’s return to Seattle. The bright spot, 4,129 people who cared enough to see the return. One of them was not the recent AD.
Friday @ UCLA, Sunday @ USC
