Well, that is too bad. Oregon State led UCLA at UCLA almost the entire game but dissolved in overtime after Jones and Pivec fouled out. UCLA is favored substantially to win all their remaining regular season games so it is very likely they will have the Pac 12 2 seed.
It seems like it coming down to Stanford and Arizona for the 3 and 4 seeds, with the 4 seed being the seed of death. Arizona will most likely drop only one of the remaining four games or could win out. That means....
If we win out we will be tied with Oregon and I have no idea how the tiebreaker works.
We need to win any 3 games to guarantee the 3rd seed.
We can also gain the 3rd seed if we win 2/4 so long as one of the wins is at Arizona
If we beat Oregon State and Arizona State and lose to Oregon and Arizona, we will probably wind up in 4th unless Arizona loses at Colorado.
If we lose 3/4, we will definitely finish fourth.
If we lose 4/4, we will probably finish fifth and cede the 4 slot to ASU, giving us a play-in game.
As MT points out, the odds are suggesting we will beat Oregon State and lose out. That would be harsh. We could finish the Pac 12 tournament with a 25-7 record and might even lose our host status for the NCAAs.
Of course beating Oregon would solve lots of issues.
