What kind of Pac-10 bizarro world are we living in this morning?
Just to recap last night’s Pac-10 action: • Cal lost at home to UCLA in overtime. That’s bizarre enough, but even more bizarre is that the Bruins played a 2-3 zone for much of the game — including the final 10 minutes of regulation and overtime — against a team that has Jerome Randle (37 of 84 from 3, 44 percent) and Theo Robertson (7 of 15 — in seven games — from 3, 46.7 percent). I dare any other Pac-10 team to try that again and live to tell about it. But for whatever reason, it worked last night. (By the way, for all the pub that the cold shooting has gotten, the real culprit for the Bears was the numerous defensive breakdowns down the stretch of regulation and in overtime. When you’re not scoring a ton of points, a team simply has to be able to rely on its defense. Cal couldn’t last night. My guess is this will be an enormous teachable moment for Mike Montgomery.) • Oregon State lost by a combined 11 points on the road to UW and WSU, and then lost at home by 51 points to Seatt
