Welcome to our weekly look at Pac-12 basketball. We take a quick look at what happened in the past week and breakdown the best games in the week to come.
Top 3 upcoming games: While the Buffs have a must-win road game Saturday against Utah, the real drama this week or the conference will come from Oregon heading to the Northern California schools and Arizona heading to Washington. Each of those two teams have their opportunity to cement themselves as players at the top of the conference or fall back into the pack.
Oregon Ducks at California Golden Bears, Thursday, 8:30 p.m., CSNNW/CSNCA: The first of two huge road games for Oregon takes place tonight, when the Ducks try to replicate what the Wildcats were able to accomplish in Berkeley.
Arizona Wildcats at Washington Huskies, Saturday, 1:00 p.m., FSN: If Oregon can win at California on Thursday night, this game could give the Huskies an opportunity to pull away a bit with a win, or create a mega jam at the top of the conference with a loss.
Oregon Ducks at Stanford Cardinal, Sunday, 2:00 p.m., Root Sports: With the Ducks most certainly spending more time in practice this week on California, this could be an interesting game on Sunday. A 0-2 week this late in the season for Oregon would really damage their tournament hopes.

Worst news ever
Remember how I laughed at all you people with crap-tastic satellite and said who cares if the Pac-12 networks is shown on DirectTV or Dish cause I have Comcast?
Well I just found out that in my new house I have to get DirectTV, which is the biggest piece of crap provider on the planet. So much for ever watching the Buffs next year.

comcast?
Why can’t you get comcast? I’ve had it for 4 yrs and love it. Never had a problem. Cable guy even gave my a HDMI cable for free!

That's what I have now
But the place I’m moving into is a downtown loft and it’s an old warehouse. Apparently cable lines have never been run to the building

Look at you big hitter.
Website’s finally paying off, huh? Moving up in the world, are you???
Buff-in-CA - February 16, 2012
I wish
I liked renting. Wife had a “we have to own a house” episode. Convinced her that downtown was still better somehow. We’re literally moving across the street. Pretty sure I owe her a dog.

don't worry Woods
6 years with DirecTV- love it. Get Season Ticket for your Steelers. They’ll probably give it to you for free (we got it for free this year by barely complaining. And we’ll get the Pac 12 Networks… one of us. one oF US. ONE OF US!
But yeah, renting is the way to go. Easier to move.

I think it will actually be cheaper than what I was paying. Which is awesome

I was thinking it's begging for a caption contest
Ash Jackson - February 17, 2012
Haha, that's what I hoping for when I picked it
