: Here is my prediction for the rest of the season:
: Oregon - Big game and Hurley always has the team ready to play big, important games. It worries me a little that we have won 5 in a row and are in a good position as history has been to fall flat under those circumstances. But my official prediction is a close win.
: Oregon State - The top of the PAC is rising lately and the bottom is falling. Just don't see us losing to this team at The Bank. ASU wins a closer than it should be game.
: @UCLA - I don't like the order of these games. I would much rather be playing UCLA after losing to USC. But I don't make the schedule. I think our 7 game losing streak is stopped here. UCLA wins.
: @USC - USC is not a really good matchup for us and they will need a win. I just think after barely beating them at home we will lose to them on the road.
: Washington - Back to home against the bottom team in the conference. ASU wins by 8-10.
: Washington State - With a tourney bid (and not in the first 4) in site we close out the season with a convincing win at home.
: This would put us at 21-10 and 12-6 in the PAC-12. I think we would be around a 9 or 10 seed under that scenario. An opening round loss in the PAC-12 might drop us to an 11 and possible first four territory. One win in the PAC-12 and we should have our first Field of 64 berth under Hurley.

Really like your analysis/predictions. I think you are right on and I hope to hell we beat those quacks. Barb and I are going to the OSU and Wazzou games so really hope you are spot on! Hope it all plays out as you outline and I think we are peaking at the right time. I learned some things from you in hoops analysis and what to look for so thank you. Go Devils!!! I'm very excited and hopeful regarding our remaining games. We see a change in CBH doing way more coaching and less yelling at the refs. You mentioned that earlier and I wonder if his dad had a talk with him. Go Devils!
