Norcal, what did you think of the five meter penalty call at the end of the USC-Cal game? I spoke with a couple people that felt it was a real borderline call, especially with only five seconds left. From my angle, I thought it was the right call. USC player (Corcoran) beat his CAL defender (Tyrrel...

NorCal, Why the inconsistancies with your MPSF Tourney at Cal and your final MPSF predictions? There are two separate predictions...MPSF regular season finish, and MPSF tourney results. I think CAL has a lot of players stepping into new roles and it will take them time to gel. But UCLA has a strong...

USC and CAL are awarded the #1 and #2 seeds at the NCAA Tournament. LMU receives the #3 seed as they pull out a close win over UC San Diego in WWPA Tournament. Navy returns to NCAA's as the # 4 seed. I don't see anyone back east beating them this season. 1st Round USC over Navy CAL over LMU Finals U...

I am basing some of this on observing the Men's National Championship, and some on the rosters as I understand them. USC had the best finish at the tournament, and they were missing the 6 Junior team players, Krumpholtz, Ligtenberg, Rappel, Sardo, Sagehorn and Artukovich as well as Clark. This team ...
