Basketball Dots

• The Pac-12 announced the pairings for MBB conference play yesterday. Washington will not travel to the Oregon schools or host the Mountain schools. They have an easy start to conference play with 4 of 6 at home and the 2 road games at Cal and at Stanford, the easiest road trip. A 5-1 or 6-0 start will likely be required to hope for back-to-back conference regular season titles.
