Pac 10 Basketball: Still Working Out The Kinks

It would be curious enough if Montana’s upset of Oregon tonight happened in and of itself. But when you compound it with UCLA’s stunning loss to Cal-State Fullerton, Cal’s getting taken behind the woodshed by Syracuse and Ohio State, Stanford losing to San Diego and Oral Roberts as well as USC dropping a game to crosstown smallfry Loyola Marymount, it makes for an extremely depressing start to the season for the conference.

↵Only one conference team remains ranked this week, No. 14 Washington. The Huskies will have a chance to get a modicum of revenge for the conference when they host Montana on Sunday. Lose than one and we can officially stop caring about the Pac-10 for a while.

↵That and we should probably start paying attention to Montana.
