Jillian Alleyne tore her ACL in practice, and Oregon promptly got clocked by Cal.

It's going to be very hard for the Ducks now, and of course it's very sad for Alleyne, who will miss her first year in the WNBA and maybe a season in Europe.

And here's your tourney bracket.

Let's go, Bruins!!!

[GEF34]

Here is a wrap up of the Pac-12 season, leading into the Pac-12 Tournament.


Results:
Saturday, 2/27
Utah 75 Washington State 69
Washington 68 Colorado 47

Sunday 2/28
Oregon State 54 California 44
Stanford 69 Oregon 42
UCLA 74 Arizona State 61
Arizona 63 USC 56

Final Standings:
1. Arizona State 16-2
1. Oregon State 16-2
3. Stanford 14-4
3. UCLA 14-4
5. Washington 11-7
6. Oregon 9-9
7. Utah 8-10
8. USC 6-12
9. Washington State 5-13
10. California 4-14
11. Arizona 3-15
12. Colorado 2-16

A bit surprising in there were only 2 ties in the standings, considering not a single team had a seed locked up going in the final weekend, as patsweetpat has already the bracket, I will post the info regarding the tiebreakers.

Arizona State and Oregon State finished as co-champions, but Oregon State received the #1 seed in the tournament because of their 67-44 win over Arizona State on February 1 in their only meeting of the season.

Stanford and UCLA finished tied for 3rd place, but UCLA received the #3 seed in the tournament because of their 56-36 win over Stanford on January 24 in their only meeting of the season.

Congrats to both Arizona State and Oregon State on their Pac-12 Regular Season titles and good luck to all in the Pac-12 Tournament!

It's kind of a cop-out to not split the teams into three parts. It's like no child left behind... But still interesting to see the differences in the teams. Glad to see Alleyne recognized by the media and kind of astonished that Weisner got that much love, though I think she deserved it in conference play.

Oregon State-UCLA title game proof of Pac-12's new power

http://espn.go.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/14911984/oregon-state-ucla-title-game-proof-pac-12-new-power

[snichols]

The Pac-12 women's tournament will be staying in Seattle for the next 3 years. There had been talk of moving it to Las Vegas with the men's tournament, but instead, they never even opened it up for bid, just renewed with Force 10, the owners of the Storm.

Attendance has been pretty good this year. The advantage of Seattle is that it's within driving distance for four teams, and a short flight from the Bay Area. Oregon State fans have really showed up in force the last couple of years. Stanford turnout was down a bit this year, but still good, and despite the difficult season, Cal had a good number of fans. UW and wsU both showed well, too, and the SoCal schools.

One factor that may limit local attendance among local high school players is that the women's tournament is held the same weekend as high school state championships. I doubt either group will change weekends, so that's just always going to be a factor. High school hoops is pretty big in Seattle; Stanford-commit Anna Wilson's Bellevue team beat Oregon State-commit Mikayla Pivec's Lynnwood in the semifinals on Friday. I'm betting that both girls and probably some teammates would have been at the Pac-12 tournament had they not been busy in Tacoma.

(Bellevue won the state championship and Lynnwood won the 3rd place game.)
