So Arizona lost a close one last night and UCLA are Pac 12 champions. ESPN analysts still have us getting a #1 seed though.
 the draw for the NCAA's is tonight at 10 I shall report on the draw for us hopefully we can dodge some of the better 2,3 & 4 seeds.

Pac 12 tournament has gone well so far for Arizona a couple of thumping wins against Utah and Colorado gets us into the final where we face UCLA who we beat earlier in the year by just 4 points, should be a good game tonight at 10 pm A win would all but guarantee us a #1 seed when the NCAA bracket is announced tomorrow a loss and we could get a #2 seed.

Oregon beat Arizona last night 64-57, shouldn't adversely affect our seeding in the NCAA tourney too much as Oregon had won 6 in a row previous and are a decent team, plus at least Longy will be happy.
PAC 12 tourney starts on Wednesday i think we will be playing on Thursday as we will have a bye into the quarter finals.
Witchita state look to make more history today when they play the Indiana state sycamores (Larry Bird's alma mater) should they win they will become the first team to start the year 34-0 since UNLV back in 1990-91 they are now 12-1 best price for the NCAA tourney and that 80-1 I was too gun-shy about recommending looks awfully good now!

bit pushed for time Arizona won again last night highlights and report here http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=400506091

Arizona played last night we were at home to California who ended our unbeaten start a few weeks back so you would expect a close game right?  nah 87 -59 Arizona in what coach miller described as one of the best games we have played all year it seems as though they have found a good rotation again after Brandon Ashley's broken foot, starting the steadier gabe york and having Hollis jefferson coming off the bench as an impact sub seems to have been working well. top scorer in the game was Nick Johnson again with 22 pts who i found out is the nephew of this guy

and the son of this guy



the top picture is of course Dennis Johnson 5 time all star and one time finals MVP and recipient of the most famous steal and pass in nba history and probably my favourite bit of sports announcing ever



the second picture is of jumpin joey johnson who held the world record for dunking on a hoop 11'7" high! some pedigree the kid eh.

Arizona hammers Colarado by 27 tonight away from home they looked really good nick johnson was hitting 3's again and superstar freshman dunking machine Aaron gordon got a career high 23 pts.

An Interesting night in college basketball last night the top 4 teams were all in action
 #1 Syracuse lost at home in OT to Boston College which has to go down as a massive shock BC are ranked as low as 131st in some experts rankings,
 #2 Florida sqeaked by Auburn and should be the new #1 next week
# 3 Wichita state remain unbeaten at 28-0 after beating Loyola of chicago comfortably (i half tipped these at 80/1 they are now best price 14's),
 I fully tipped # 4 Arizona who needed overtime to beat Utah on the road, our bet at 15/1 still looks ok best price is now 7's but we are one injury away from disaster as we just dont seem to use our subs at all last night 6 players played 205 of the available 225 minutes and that could possibly have been higher if Aaron Gordon hadn't fouled out having only played 20 mins. still a road win is always good next game Saturday at Colarado.

Sun Devils topple Wildcats in double overtime 69 to 66 we shot 4/16 from 3 point range and a pitiful 16/30 from the free throw line, defensively we are still very good just seem to be struggling to score got a heck of a lot of talent on the team though so we have to hope they figure it out again.

had a go.

Calling Golf experts

Jimmy Walker has now won 3 of his last 8 Pga events, this after taking 188 to win his first last season.

I am struggling to see why he is as big as 22-1 this week especially when you take into account the quotes below.

"Walker is looking forward to the Northern Trust Open, which starts in four days at Riviera, his favorite tournament of the year.
''I love the golf course, and I've had good success there,'' he said. ''I'll enjoy tonight, and then it's time to refocus and reset everything, because we've got a whole new look next week. And it looks like the long-range forecast looks good for nice weather, and it's always nice to play Riviera when it's nice.''
Walker isn't getting too far ahead of himself. He's not looking too far behind.
He found the winning formula four months ago about an hour away at the Frys.com Open when he won for the first time. Now he can't seem to lose."

Source http://sports.yahoo.com/news/jimmy-walker-turning-winning-habit-084204765--golf.html and various other sites he mentions it as his fav course even before he started winning.

To a novice golf watcher it seems hard to me he is the same price as DeLaet for example.

don't know if you watched on Sunday but walker literally fell over the line turned a 6 shot lead on the back 9 into a one stroke victory he will be mentally exhausted and i would avoid this week. i expect him to be out with the washing.

comfortable 22 point win for Arizona tonight freshman rondae hollis jefferson played particually well which is great as he is the replacement for the guy with the busted foot

next game valentines night against Arizona state i'm not expecting candles and roses in the local derby game.

just managed to beat the Oregon ducks 67-65 last night missed a lot of free throws apparently, next game is against oregon state on sunday night

Bad News i'm afraid not only did we lose to cal 60-58 on saturday but one of our better players forward Brandon Ashley broke his foot 3 mins into the game and is expected out for the rest of the year he averaged 11 points and 6 rebounds so will be missed. I expect syracuse to be #1 after winning an incredible game against Duke in overtime. we will probably drop a couple of places but still have a great chance come march.

another good win for Arizona tonight 60-57 away at Stanford next game is saturday night at califonia (berkley) which should be another tough tough game  still #1 with a 21-0 record.
