PAC12 Basketball

Beavers rally comes up short. USC is playing for their first Final Four since 1954 tonight. UCLA playing for their first Final Four since 2008.

UCLA gets back to the Final Four
 
First 4 to the Final 4. Nice run. Congrats to the Bruins.

As for my Trojans...3 returning players, put the team together over the summer and were picked to finish 6th in the PAC. So, I'm not gonna complain about a run to the Elite 8 and loss to the likely champ.

Hopefully Enfield can build on this.

Enfield definitely silenced his critics for a good couple of years, that's for sure!
 
id say over all Pac 12 showed out.
first 4 to final 4 with wins over 1 and 2 seed for UCLA
picked in the middle USC to 8 with a win over 3 seed Kansas
Oregon state picked last in conference and ran to 8
Oregon to sweet 16 with win over 2 seed from a 7 seed.

Yeah except Lawsons brother just entered transfer portal so we'll see how that goes.
 
Lawson was such a waste of space this year.

According to 247 USC has the #11 recruiting class in the country.

Im guessing his brother doesn’t end up in Eugene

Recruiting rankings are very different than football. Having an extra commit or two will greatly inflate someone’s rankings. It’s still a decent class for USC
 
We all know Oregon will pick 2 or more players out of the transfer portal as well.

Transfer portal is just as important as high school recruiting, maybe even more so

This is basketball...that's a great class for USC. lol

You're getting a little caught up in the team ranking which is inflated since USC has 5 commits. This isn't football, the class sizes greatly differ. It's a good class for USC but not necessarily better than they've been doing recently. Honestly, USC had better classes in 2018 and 2019.
