This is a huge win for Oregon.  This game had a UW win written all over it.  The Ducks should be happy and content with winning the conference, and it's hard to imagine the Oregon players really care what their NCAA tourney seed is at this point.  UW was looking to get the automatic bid, and the Huskies profiled as a team capable of knocking off a satisfied Oregon team.  Win or lose on Friday, this is clearly Altman's strongest basketball team.  
                   
Also there's been discussion about Las Vegas being Arizona North, and how well the Utes travel.   Those are discussions to have if you want to discuss basketball programs and revenue, but fan attendance doesn't amount to a hill a beans when it comes to conference tournament wins.  Since 1999 the Ducks are now 20-10 in the conference tournament.  Only newbie Colorado has a higher winning percentage at 8-3.  Arizona is 18-12 and Utah is 4-4.
