November 3, 2010
The Basketball Season Begins
Wednesday, November 3rd is the first Pac 10 Women’s Basketball game. 8 of the 10 teams will open with an exhibition game or two before starting the official non conference games. Here are the starting dates by school:
Arizona: Nov 4 and 7 exhibition games, Nov 12 the first non conference game is at Wichita State.
ASU: Nov 7 exhibition then start Nov 12 against Northern Arizona
Cal: Nov 4 exhibition against Vanguard then Nov 12 against Rutgers
Oregon: Nov 3 and Nov 7 exhibition games, Nov 13, Western Oregon
Oregon State: No exhibition games, Nov 13 Long Beach State
UCLA: Nov 8 vs Vanguard then Nov 12 at San Diego State
USC: No exhibitions, they start with Gonzaga on Nov 12.
Washington: Nov 3 exhibition then start with Portland State on Nov 14
Washington State: Nov 7 Exhibition, then Nov 12 at St Mary’s
I mentioned Vanguard as we play them Nov 6th and the Vanguard Coach is the Samuelson’s Travel Coach and was Jeanette’s Travel Coach.
Strength of Schedule: I thought it would be interesting to see who is playing tough non conference games, then found that the rankings weren’t out as I wrote this. So I used Charlie Crème’s last April preview of this season where he listed his top 64 teams for 2010-2011. My ranking scale is as follows:
If a team is ranked in the Top 10, the Pac 10 team playing them gets 10 points then:
11-20 = 8 points
21-30 = 6 points
31-40 = 4 points
41-50 = 2 points
51-64 = 1 point
Probably I could be more finite, like more for a top 5 team than a team ranked 6-10, but here it is:
1. Stanford, 52
2. USC, 44
3. ASU, 33
4. UCLA, 20
5. Cal, 16
6. Washington State, 12
7. Arizona, 10
8. Washington, 6

Three Point Shooting: What teams might be the best? Always a hard one before the first game but it could be Stanford. Here’s a run down of last year’s top 3 point shooting teams by 3 pointers made, with some comments on how that may or may not carry forward to this season.
1. Oregon: 284 at 35%. Top 2 with 171 graduated
2. Stanford: 237 at 34% 3-4 with 74 graduated
3. USC: 192 at 34% 2-3-4 with 85 graduated
4. WSU: 162 at 26%
5. Arizona: 152 at 31%
5. Cal: 151 at 27% Top shooter by far graduated
7. UCLA: 126 at 34% Top shooter graduated
8. Washington: 101 at 32% Top shooter graduated
9. Oregon State: 90 at 27% All gone
10. ASU: 88 at 29% Top shooter graduated
Stanford returns more who made 3’s than any team in the conference.
Arizona: Nov 4 and 7 exhibition games, Nov 12 the first non conference game is at Wichita State.
ASU: Nov 7 exhibition then start Nov 12 against Northern Arizona
Cal: Nov 4 exhibition against Vanguard then Nov 12 against Rutgers
Oregon: Nov 3 and Nov 7 exhibition games, Nov 13, Western Oregon
Oregon State: No exhibition games, Nov 13 Long Beach State
UCLA: Nov 8 vs Vanguard then Nov 12 at San Diego State
USC: No exhibitions, they start with Gonzaga on Nov 12.
Washington: Nov 3 exhibition then start with Portland State on Nov 14
Washington State: Nov 7 Exhibition, then Nov 12 at St Mary’s
I mentioned Vanguard as we play them Nov 6th and the Vanguard Coach is the Samuelson’s Travel Coach and was Jeanette’s Travel Coach.
Strength of Schedule: I thought it would be interesting to see who is playing tough non conference games, then found that the rankings weren’t out as I wrote this. So I used Charlie Crème’s last April preview of this season where he listed his top 64 teams for 2010-2011. My ranking scale is as follows:
If a team is ranked in the Top 10, the Pac 10 team playing them gets 10 points then:
11-20 = 8 points
21-30 = 6 points
31-40 = 4 points
41-50 = 2 points
51-64 = 1 point
Probably I could be more finite, like more for a top 5 team than a team ranked 6-10, but here it is:
1. Stanford, 52
2. USC, 44
3. ASU, 33
4. UCLA, 20
5. Cal, 16
6. Washington State, 12
7. Arizona, 10
8. Washington, 6
9. Oregon State, 5
10. Oregon, 0
