PAC-10 SHALLOW SUCCESS STORY

We've referenced the 3-Year PAC-10 'Talent-Drain'
Many times during the inaugural Way-Out-West Season.

After profiling Cal's alarming lack of bench minutes during their recent surge,
Deeper Look reveals the PAC-10 Bubble Teams
Coincidentally are all among the lowest D-1 Bench Support:

PAC-10 | WEEK 10 | SCHEDULE

TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 2011

10:05 PM, EDT
SEATTLE REDHAWKS 11-17 (3-2 ATS)
STANFORD CARDINAL 14-14 | 7-10 Conf (12-14 ATS)

Cardinal should pad .500 Record w/20+ Point Win

Right?

As we know....Seattle beat Ore St BTB Yrs
(2009-2010 Seattle beat Ore St by 51 Pts in Corvallis)

Thus, HC C Dollar's Redhawk Team
Is a schizophrenic, wild-card group if there ever was one

Redhawks' #5 Tempo, NCAA 
Seattle, still an Independent, Renegade D-1 fledgling Program
In 2nd Division-I Year 'Back' after somewhat respectable 11-17
After losing key Sr's from Last-Years' 17-14 Season
2009-2010 SEATTLE U:
80 POSS/GM PACE; 2nd ONLY to VMI 

Seattle Redhawks are entirely accustomed to playing in challenging Road Venues
Now Seattle has WON BTB Road Games
(albeit at N Illinois, Bracket-Busters, & Bakersfield)
12/22: SEATTLE WON AT VIRGINIA (59-53)
(Seattle also familiar w/Cali; playing 9th Game in Golden State Tonight)

Stanford finally snapped their 4 Game Losing Streak

Stanford on 1-4 & 1-3 ATS Run, & Cardinal can hardly avoid looking ahead to their Sat rematch vs Cal; undeniably huge game for Cardinal & Bears

IF WE GET A LINE HERE & IF IT'S OVER SEATTLE +16...
IT'S WORTH A UNIT OF MY $ ON REDHAWKS (FWIW)
