Arizona sports radio talked on Thursday just how bad Pac 12 basketball is.

I'm interested to find out why the PAC-12 has been struggling

Crazy Duck

Their best program in football and basketball got caught cheating.

2/18/19 9:28am

There has to be more than that. It's a pretty deep conference.

Crazy Duck

2/18/19 9:34am

Just some theories they have thrown out there the last few years:

Oranje

2/18/19 9:54am

Demographic changes

You could begin by looking at the really bad coaches who have been in the Pac-12

wcj99

Th south division has had the same problem in football

puntersarepeople

2/19/19 6:58am

The North Division has been more stable, but even Oregon has had a ton of

Not just the past couple years

BYU '80

2/18/19 10:29pm

I think if BYU played a Pac-12 schedule this year that we would be competing for

Dakota Cougar

We might still have a shot at first honestly

puntersarepeople

2/18/19 11:50am

Here's the measuring stick for Cougar fans but don't know

Snake Dog

2/18/19 3:45pm

Considering 7 teams are currently within 2 losses and "battling for 2nd place"

James Halpert

2/18/19 4:00pm

Let me say it a different way

Snake Dog

2/18/19 6:49pm

We could absolutely be in second place in the PAC 12

puntersarepeople

2/18/19 6:58pm

Or how BYU destroyed the third place team on a neutral court

BYU '80

2/18/19 10:30pm

Or how BYU melted down against San Fran on home court.

Snake Dog

2/22/19 6:39am

USF is probably better than anyone in the pac but uw

BYU '80

2/22/19 11:39am

Come on man

Snake Dog

2/24/19 9:37pm

You’re wrong. USF is more of a bubble team than any in the PAC

puntersarepeople

2/25/19 2:20pm

Yep, it's a terrible conference. Wanna trade places?

neboutefan

2/18/19 9:29am

Nope. I'd rather stay indy or join the Big 12.

Oranje

2/18/19 9:35am

Out of the P5 conferences it's the worst

Crazy Duck

2/18/19 9:35am

Wrong, it's the PAC12 by far. However, I agree it's 10x better than B-league

blackshirts

2/18/19 1:54pm

Yes we would trade in a heartbeat

cwilke1

To be a shoe-in into post season? Sure, we don't mind squashing a few cupcakes.

Division Bell

2/18/19 9:56am

Very common response from utes. That’s all you got?

BYU '80

2/18/19 10:31pm

And yet the "conference of champions" will get 3 or 4 teams into the tourney...

Coug

2/18/19 9:31am

The Pac-12 will not get 3-4 teams in the tourney this year. I think it's safe

Dakota Cougar

2/18/19 9:33am

I think they get 1 maybe 2 this year

Crazy Duck

2/18/19 9:34am

Well it can't be 1... cause the conference is guaranteed 2 spots

Coug

2/18/19 9:59am

Um, no conference has 2 auto bids. Only the conference tournament champion.

Touche, and awesome McBain reference.

Oranje

2/18/19 10:05am

Did you read my post?

Oranje

2/18/19 9:37am

why do people respond without reading?

Mayor of Cougartown

They call themselves the “Conference of Champions” because across all sports,

So you’re disputing the fact that the P12 has far more national titles than the

garyfan

2/18/19 9:54am

yeah the olympic sports that no one cares about. YAY!!Cross country and swimming

Mayor of Cougartown

2/18/19 9:56am

Sure, but that’s a weird comment for a board that celebrates BYU’s success

garyfan

2/18/19 10:08am

Sure, but I don't see us airing commercials during football and basketball games

Oranje

2/18/19 11:19am

Just because you are fixated on those 2 sports doesn’t mean they have to be.

garyfan

2/18/19 11:36am

I would say my area of expertise is volleyball.

Oranje

2/18/19 11:49am

Particularly fans of teams who wish they could be in the conference.

garyfan

2/18/19 11:55am

I did grad school at Arizona State. I don't want us in that conference.

Oranje

2/18/19 12:06pm

So you think Indy/WCC > P12?

garyfan

2/18/19 12:16pm

For us specifically right now? Yes.

Oranje

2/18/19 1:00pm

LOL. Ok, sure.

garyfan

2/18/19 3:26pm

volleyball both men and women sell out the smith fieldhouse.

Mayor of Cougartown

2/18/19 2:02pm

I do not do that.

Mayor of Cougartown

2/18/19 2:02pm

There's actually a fairly straightforward path to 2 bids for the Pac-12. Wash is

James Halpert

The Wildcat’s mediocre year is an aberration though

Croweater

If Sean Miller survives then yes. But...

They haven’t even been sanctioned for that scandal yet

I just dont see the a big $ conference only getting in 1 team - hope to be wrong

BYUfan92

2/18/19 11:46am

I have a theory on why the conference is so bad, in case you are wondering...

lilpenny

2/18/19 1:06pm

BYU has some market share? Other than that lame comment I agree with you

BYU '80

2/18/19 10:34pm

And yet the WCC is rated below the P12 last I saw. Probably due to bottom teams

Bob Vance

2/18/19 1:56pm

The WCC and Pac-12 each have one sub 250 team (Cal and Portland). The WCC has

Gentleman Stan

2/18/19 2:10pm

Okay and the pac 12 has 10 teams in the top 115. The WCC only has 5.

RdF3

Right. The WCC is much stronger at the top. The WCC has 30% of its teams in the
