The two discuss the weekend ahead in Seattle, where Final Four contenders like Oregon and UCLA vie for better NCAA seeds, and a dark horse, USC, looks to put a bow on an unexpectedly strong season.

But the two also discuss the rest of the conference. Just how does Washington take down California? Jody Wynn’s three-heavy offense comes up. Can Utah and Washington State overcome adversity and make some noise? And why is USC so good this early in their rebuild?
