Stretch Run Out West

This past week's games cleared up the log-jam in the Pac-10 standings a bit, but teams still have three or four games remaining, and the title's still up for grabs.

Pacific-10 Conference Standings

	Conf	All
Washington (22)	11-4	20-7
Arizona St. (14)	10-4	21-5
UCLA (20)	9-5	20-7
California	9-5	20-7
Arizona	8-6	18-9
USC	7-7	16-10

Stanford	4-10	15-10
Oregon	1-14	7-20

Arizona State's 70-68 win over Arizona puts them right in the thick of things, a half game behind conference leader Washington. ASU heads to the state of Washington for a pair, but earlier they fell in Tempe, AZ to both UofW and Washington State. Crucial games. Then the Devils close out the season at home against Stanford and Cal.

The laughter has quieted down in Tucson. The Devils swept UofA and have won the last four against the Wildcats. Thank you, James Harden!

The Huskies are in the driver's seat, with home games remaining against ASU, UofA, and Washington State.

California (USC, UCLA, at Arizona, at ASU) and UCLA (at Stanford, at Cal, Oregon State, Oregon) are still in the picture, but need some help.

Utah is close to wrapping up the Mountain West Conference Championship. But they face UNLV and travel to BYU and New Mexico before closing the season at home against TCU.

UNM is definitely still in the mix, with home games against TCU and Utah and road games at Colorado State and Wyoming. But the Lobos might have to rely on winning the MWC tournament to make it to the Big Dance, even if they sneak away with the regular season title.
