To expand on my point above, there is another factor that has made our season more difficult than most--the collapse of CAL WBB this year. Fans do not always think of this, but with Cal postponing 9 games and being completely noncompetitive in those it does play it gives our opponents the ability to concentrate all of their practices and scouts solely on us. When we play Oregon and Oregon State, we split our attention for the week. When Oregon and Oregon State plays us, they don't. And likewise with all other opponents.
Simply put, we have had a much tougher road to travel than anyone else in the conference.
