2021 Season

[Presidio]

What about that Cal loss to Pepp? Does that factor in?

LBS gave UoP a beat down today controlling from start to finish

[SwimCoach]

UCLA hangs on for a 11-10 victory. Great effort by Stanford. They were down 7-2 in the 3rd and almost pulled off the upset.

[WaPoSaD]

Yup. The difference was the second quarter, which was 5-0 UCLA. Tough to win when you’ve got a period like that.

[arbolado]

You have to give Adam credit. Their backs were against he wall and they took care of business. Cal just laid a turd this weekend, plain and simple.

[SwimCoach]

Any NCAA seedings guesses?

For the MPSF, in addition to UCLA’s auto bid, I assume that Cal and USC are in and Stanford is out.

Now, how to you seed these three?

[Rbpolo0414]

Any NCAA order of seedlings guesses?

I think Cal probably lost the top seed this weekend. UCLA, USC, Cal in that order? USC could also get the 1. It’s close.

[cwright1992]

I have no clue but the seedings will likely reveal what the committee deems more worthy: the regular season (helps Cal) or the MPSF tourney (benefits UCLA).

They should probably value both otherwise teams will be disincentivized to win either. If so, both Cal and UCLA are in. And it's a coin toss between USC and Stanford though Stanford lost that head to head, I believe, so USC gets in.

If the committee gives more weight to the season, that helps USC so they get in. But if they value the MPSF tourney more then that helps Stanford.

Every team can make a valid argument for inclusion and one of the four will feel justifiably wronged due to subjective exclusion.

My guess:

1) UCLA
2) Cal
3) USC

Likely wrong

Should be an amazing NCAA. Any of the three, including Stanford, can win it all.

Groan!

I am hoping that LBSU can get hot and make a run.

[Rbpolo0414]

Stanford has no claim to a spot. It really isn’t close. USC is 100% in with only 2 losses. Stanford has 6 losses.

Simple things the Gauchos should have done all year, like a counter attack with a focus on an early entry pass to Nangle…or an isolation for Rhodes on the 3-post…

His poor use of Nangle in general is bewildering.

Bewildering is the perfect word. Should of been the workhorse all season.

Give him the ball and he makes things happen yet they usually preferred to take an outside shot.
