Colorado is long. I believe his name is Bey but he is a scorer.
They have a lot of wings and size but not size at the 5.
They could give you issues with you allow them to have space.
Ultimately they aren't great on the Defensive end.
Washington is a great defensive team and so is Oregon.
You can win a lot of games in the Pac 12 if they allow you to run your defense because for the most part that conference is wide open with a lot of space
I remember hearing Oregon only has 7-8 scholarship players. Is this true?

Washington will be fun. Lets talk some Ducks, I feel like they got some guys this year to make a run... Colorado is getting buzz too.

Dallas Walton in healthy after missing last year. He is 7' 235lbs.

No bad losses for the PAC on opening night. Utah went on the road and beat Nevada
It looks like once again late night basketball will be fun to watch.
Tonight's Washington vs Baylor game could be the marquee game of the weekend.
Washington might pull this off
Arizona should definitely return to the elite of the conference this year. While young, they have a nice mix of depth, size and shooters. When the defense finally comes around, they'll be tough. Freshman big man Zeke Nnaji is better than advertised. There were practice reports saying he was consistently the best player on the floor and he put up 20 last night in Arizona's first game.
What's up with shaquille O'niells son? Is he playing? Is he good?
Can they get 5 to 6 in this year?
So Cal found out how tough Prairie View A&M is to play tonight.
Their depth and intensity on defense isn't common.
With Mike Davis leaving Texas Southern they became the program in the SWAC.
PAC 12 looking decent this year. First time in awhile.
They improved their coaching at a lot of schools recently.
To be fair, it was California and not USC. I think USC would win by 20+ points. I will concede that Cal has been better than I was anticipating. Maybe Mark Fox was the change this program needed.
Should have worded differently.
I agree about Mark Fox.
I think it was the 2016-2017 Cal team but in terms of just talent they had it.
Don't know what has happened the last few years.
They got a decent test last night.
Are they ready for Duke? I don't know.
I don't think they have the talent anywhere close to where they were a few years ago.
Regarding PVAMU. .
They can get that program going enough to get off that 16 line.
Smith has a lot of respect in the Houston basketball community. He was an AAU coach for awhile here in Houston
Losing Cuonzo Martin to Missouri was big. Rabb went pro, and then Charlie Moore transferred to KU. Since then, they haven't really had time to develop their guys. They've won 5 Pac-12 games the last two years. The guys that show promise get tired of losing and they leave. Don Coleman, Justice Sueing, Darius McNeil, and Connor Vanover have all transferred in the last 18 months. Similar fate for Washington State. They need to win a decent number of games to avoid more transfers.
Duke is talented on the defensive end. Offense remains suspect. I think it's feasible for most half-way competent teams to stay relatively close to Duke. I could see this being 7-8 points at half - and maybe that balloons past 15 in the second half.
Don't really know anything about PVAMU. It seems encouraging, at least, that they're remaining competitive with big-name programs.
For me the UNLV game says a lot about Cal.
I have paid attention to them because of the coach from South Dakota St and because Eli Mitrou Long transferred there.
Cal ended up winning that game.
UNLV is a very well coached team and has a few players.
PVAMU is a team that wants to get into the tournament as a 13 or 14 and have a chance to win a game that isn't in the First 4.
Mike Davis couldn't at Texas Southern and I don't remember the last SWAC program that played on a Saturday or Sunday.
