The Pac 12 This Past Week

A couple of almost big quality Pac 12 wins as Cal lost by 2 to Ohio State and USC by 1 to Texas A&M.


1. Stanford 7-1. Beat Princeton 85-66. Nneka with 22 points and 12 rebounds and Chiney with 21 points and 9 rebounds. Chiney was 10 of 11 from the floor. However Princeton had one more offensive rebound than us.

2. Cal 8-3 Lost in the last second to 12th ranked Ohio State 77-75. The great Sami P scored 20 with 6 assists for Ohio State. Sad that this game was opposite the Stanford game. Gennifer Brandon had a tremendous game, 24 points and 24, yep, 24 rebounds. Cal out rebounded Ohio State by 16 but missed 18 free shots going 20 for 38.

3. Arizona State 7-1. Lost to Depaul, 73-55. DePaul is a top 20 team and this was a chance for the Pac 12’s first really quality win, but not to be. ASU out rebounded DePaul by 12, but had 9 more turnovers. Jeanae Fulcher had 16 points and 7rebounds.

4. USC 4-5 Lost at Arkansas State, wow, 58-56. Brianna Gilbreath had 20 points. Just a really bad loss for a maybe top 3-4 Pac 12 team.

Lost a the end to Texas A&M 71-70. Jackie Gemelos left the game with a knee injury at about the half way point of the game. Ashley Corral was 5 of 10 from three, 16 points, and USC was 9 of 17 from three. So close to the Pac 12’s first really quality win, men or women.
