The Pac-10 race sharpened slightly as both UCLA and WSU remained at the top of the league with the Bruins holding a half-game lead over the Cougars while USC, Oregon and Arizona jockey for third-place positioning and Stanford and Washington try to maintain NCAA street cred. CougZone takes you on a whirlwind tour of what's going through the minds of the conference's coaches as we near the mid-point of the second half of conference play this week.



Lute Olson - Arizona

Personnel - None.

Quote - "They had Washington State and that shot was down in the bucket." [re: ASU nearly upsetting WSU two weeks ago in Tempe]

Other Stuff - Says Big Ten still plays physical because the officials let them play that way. He's not sure if any teams have been 0-18 in conference play [there haven't been] but he remembers Kelvin Sampson had one team [Sampson's 1989-90 squad that went 1-17] that didn't win very many games.



Herb Sendek - Arizona State
