Don't look now... - Viking_Guy - 02-27-2020

...but Cal is on the verge of beating Colorado in men's b-ball.

Up by 14 with a minute left.  Our weekend just got harder.

Just the first step to the seven way tie for first place, including Stanford, of course.

Cal won.  Hoping for a winless week end for Colorado.

If things fall the right way, it could honestly happen and the scenario I looked at wasn't all that crazy. Conventional wisdom says it won't happen, but I would love to see and the wild mess that it would create for the P12 tournament - would make it real interesting!

It would take a bit of luck, including Oregon having a very bad next weekend and Washington a very good one.

Just "a bit" of luck would be required?!  I admire your optimism - you must be a glass-half-full kind of person! I think it would be very tough just to snag a top-4 seed and a bye for the P12 tourney.  But that would be an enormous win if it's remotely possible.

Right now, I'm mainly focused on a win over Colorado. It's going to be a fun time on Sunday - possibly the best Maples ambience in a long time.  As it happens, we're going for free and sitting eight rows behind the Stanford bench, just for filling out the football season ticket holder survey.  I think we just got lucky this time, because usually those giveaway seats aren't so appealing.  In any case, many thanks to Stanford Athletics for the FREE BASKETBALL!

I wonder if Battey will still be crying?
