Both have respectable overall records, good conference records, and both are on track for 20+ win seasons. Do both have to at least make the semifinals of the Pac-12 tournament to have a realistic chance of a Tourny bid?
 
Don't at least 4 Pac-12 teams make the tourney every year? If both finish top 4 in the Pac-12 they should both get in.
 
Why would we want both to make it in? We only want one of then to make it in :)
 
I dunno, but the fact no other team in OSU history has gone 14-0 at home, and this was has is just plain impressive. This entire season just has me in shock.
 
Allow me to point out that the Ducks have played 17 home games to just 4 on the road. Looking at their schedule, they'll be favored in just 2 games the rest of the way (@ USC, v Colo). Should they go 2-5 in their final 7 (which I would predict), they'll finish up 19-12, 9-9 in conference, and definitely not worthy of a tourney bid.

ESPN's Lunardi has Stanford in, UCLA in his first four out, and Oregon in his next four out (with OSU even further back). Ducks and Beavs are 59 & 71 respectively in the RPI, and 63 & 83 in the BPI. I think each school will need to sweep the LA schools this week to even have a chance at the tourney. A home win over Utah next week isn't a must, but would be a huge boost. I think anything less than 5-2 from either school over the final 7, and they're out.

As a beavers fan I'd happily take a NIT invite this year. Next year the expectations go up with our recruiting class
 
Oregon is on a frickin' tear right now. Joesph Young is a baller! If only he were a couple inches taller he'd be a first rounder.
 
I hope the Beavs CRUSH the Ducks next Wednesday!
