Last night’s Pac-12 semifinal between the Arizona and UCLA Basketball teams was past my bedtime, so I didn’t watch and only found out this morning that we lost. I’ve been mulling over the Bruins’ predicament all day, and I’m far from despondent. Here’s why:
1. The most immediate (and most tenuous) reason is that we have a stake in who wins the conference final tonight. Anathema as it may be to consider, I think UCLA fans have to root hard for Arizona over Oregon.
If Oregon wins, then both teams will have airtight cases to be seeded over UCLA.
