Just past mid-season assessment of Pac 12 from Her Hoop Stats -- no surprises in here, though I do find the kudos for Scott Rueck worth noting, and to me, he deserves it. Also like the appreciation for Kiki, and strong statement re Cam.

HerHoopsStats says the following about Colorado:

"Their 9-2 conference record is tied with Stanford for first in the league. They have the advantage over the Cardinal since they took the only regular-season meeting between the two teams. Things could not be going better in Boulder."

That's a little more of an optimistic take for Colorado than I think is warranted.  Colorado has 4 conference games left against top 25 teams (3 on the road).  By contrast, Stanford's only ranked conference opponent left is Oregon State.  That game is on the road but Stanford also matches up very well vs Oregon St.  Colorado may have the tiebreaker at the moment but Stanford has the far easier path to earning the #1 seed in the conference tournament.
