Pac-12 Hotline men's basketball week in review: Bubble watch underway, 3-point shooting woes and issues at Arizona (although Azuolas Tubelis isn't one of them).
Theme of the week I: Mayhem squaredTwo upsets made headlines Saturday, with Washington State and Oregon winning in Tucson and Salt Lake City, respectively. But all chaos isn’t created equal, and the results carried very different ramifications for the Pac-12’s postseason outlook.
People are also reading… Yes, the Pac-12 needs some combination of Arizona State, WSU, Oregon and Colorado to thrive down the stretch, but not at Utah’s expense. But that total includes Cal’s otherworldly performance against Stanford . Remove the Bears, and the collective’s 3-point percentage dips to 29.6 percent.Game of the week: UCLA 60, USC 58In the latest instance of crosstown chaos, the Bruins led by 18 points at halftime, then turned positively frigid: They went 10 minutes without a field goal — that’s right, 10 minutes — as the Trojans rallied to grab a two-point lead with 36 seconds remaining.
Sweeps of the week: Colorado and Arizona StateOne week after a humiliating loss at Cal, the Buffaloes played airtight defense and demolished the Oregon schools to reach the .500 mark in conference play. ASU also won twice, holding off the Washington schools to remain one game back of first-place UCLA.
Turnaround of the week: OregonThe Ducks opened their Mountain trip with a blowout loss at Colorado but rebounded with a decisive win at Utah, which was undefeated in league play. At this rate, 64-year-old Dana Altman will feel like a 74-year-old by season’s end.
