PAC-10 CONFERENCE
The Pac-10 Conference continues to uphold
its tradition as the “Conference of Champions”
®, claiming an incredible 171 NCAA team titles
over the past 20 years,
including eight in 200910, averaging nearly nine
championships per academic year. Even more impressive has been the
breadth of the Pac-10’s success, with championships coming in 26 different men’s and women’s
sports. The Pac-10 has led the nation in NCAA
Championships in 44 of the last 50 years and finished second five times.
Spanning nearly a century of outstanding athletics achievements, the Pac-10 has captured
390 NCAA titles (267 men’s, 123 women’s), far
outdistancing the runner-up Big Ten Conference’s
226 titles.
The Conference’s reputation is further proven
in the annual Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup competition, the prestigious award that honors the
best overall collegiate athletics programs in the
country. STANFORD won its unprecedented 16thconsecutive Directors’ Cup in 2009-10, continuing
its remarkable run. Seven of the top 25 Division I
programs were Pac-10 member institutions: No.
1 STANFORD, No. 4 UCLA, No. 9 CALIFORNIA,
No. 13 USC, No. 14 OREGON, No. 22 ARIZONA
STATE and No. 24 WASHINGTON. The Pac-10’s
three teams in the top 10 was second-most for any
conference, behind only the ACC (4), while the Big
12, Big Ten and SEC had one team each.
It was also a historic year for the Pac-10 off the
field. After 26 years as Pac-10 Commissioner, Tom
Hansen retired from his position and on July 1,
2009, was succeeded by Larry Scott, the former
Chairman and CEO of the WTA Tour, a 2008 TIME
Magazine Best Sports Executive and a former
All-American tennis player at Harvard University.
Eleven months later, the Conference announced
the expansion of the Pac-10 to include Colorado
(2012) and Utah (2011), the first time since 1978
the league has invited new members.
ketball (STANFORD), men’s gymnastics (STANFORD), men’s swimming (CALIFORNIA), women’s
swimming (STANFORD), men’s indoor track and
field (OREGON), baseball (UCLA), softball (ARIZONA), women’s golf (USC), women’s rowing
(CALIFORNIA), women’s outdoor track and field
(OREGON) and women’s water polo (STANFORD).
Overall, the Conference had 33 teams finish in the
top four at 20 NCAA Championship events.
Participation in the postseason was a common
occurrence for the Pac-10 in 2009-10. Of the 22
sports sponsored by the Conference, 19 witnessed
at least half its teams participating in NCAA or other postseason action. The men sent 64 of a possible 90 teams into the postseason (71.1 percent),
while the women sent 73 of a possible 99 teams
(73.7 percent).
The Pac-10 experienced continued success in
football as the league sent seven teams to bowl
games, tying a Pac-10 record for most bowl participants. The Pac-10 faced tough competition in the
Bowl season, as four of the seven opponents were
ranked in the top 20. Oregon claimed its eighth
Pac-10 title in the sport and first since 2001, posting an 8-1 league record. Meanwhile, ARIZONA
(Pacific Life Holiday), CALIFORNIA (San Diego
County Credit Union Poinsettia), OREGON STATE
(Maaco Las Vegas), STANFORD (Brut Sun), UCLA
(EagleBank) and USC (Emerald) also earned bowl
bids. OREGON and USC were ranked in the top25 of the Associated Press’ poll at season’s end,
finishing 11th and 22nd, respectively.
Pac-10 regular-season champion WASHINGTON and tournament champion CALIFORNIA
represented the Conference in the NCAA Men’s
Basketball Tournament, and two others competed
in other postseason events. The Pac-10 saw a balanced race crown the Golden Bears regular-season champions for the first time since 1960, while
every team logged at least six league wins, a first
in the history of the league. After winning the tournament title, the Huskies advanced to the NCAA
Sweet Sixteen, knocking off No. 6-seed Marquette
and No. 3-seed New Mexico.
The Pac-10 captured eight NCAA titles in 200910, tying with the ACC for the most in the country.
Of the eight titles, Pac-10 teams claimed a nation’s-best five women’s NCAA crowns. California
also captured the IRA National Championship in
men’s rowing, the Pac-10’s ninth national title of
the season.

On the women’s side, two teams competed in
the NCAA Tournament and four others competed
in postseason play. STANFORD made its thirdstraight NCAA Women’s Final Four appearance,
advancing to the national championship game
for the second time in three years. UCLA made
its first postseason appearance since 2005-06.
CALIFORNIA captured its first-ever WNIT crown,
and ARIZONA STATE and OREGON also garnered
WNIT bids, and WASHINGTON participated in the
first-ever WBI.
Without question, the Conference has dominated the softball field, winning 22 national championships in the sport since 1982. UCLA hoisted
the 2010 NCAA trophy, the program’s 11th in the
sport, an NCAA record. It was an all-Pac-10 final,
as the Bruins defeated ARIZONA in the championship series to claim the crown. Seven Pac-10
teams earned NCAA Tournament bids, with three
advancing to the NCAA Women’s College World
Series, including Pac-10 Champion WASHINGTON, which captured the league title with a 17-4
record.
It was a historic year for the Pac-10 in baseball as a Conference-record eight teams earned
NCAA Tournament bids. ARIZONA STATE and
UCLA reached the NCAA Men’s College World
Series with the Bruins advancing to the championship series. ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA, OREGON,
OREGON STATE, STANFORD and WASHINGTON
STATE also represented the Conference in the
postseason event. The 80 percent postseason
participation rate marked the best percentage by a
conference in NCAA Division I history.
OREGON, STANFORD, UCLA and USC each
claimed NCAA team titles in the last academic
year. The Trojans were the only team in the nation
to win three crowns, while the Cardinal and Bruins joined USC as three of only nine institutions to
claim multiple crowns.
The Trojans swept the men’s and women’s water polo titles, also adding the men’s tennis crown
to its trophy case. The Cardinal claimed the top
spot in men’s volleyball and women’s tennis, while
the Bruins took home titles in women’s gymnastics and softball. The Pac-10 also had runners-up
in 14 NCAA Championship events: men’s cross
country (OREGON), women’s soccer (STANFORD), men’s water polo (UCLA), women’s bas-
Nikola Vucevic, USC
The Conference swept two men’s and women’s
sports, capturing national championship in water polo and tennis. USC claimed the men’s and
women’s in water polo. The Trojans also claimed
the men’s tennis title, while STANFORD came out
on top in the women’s bracket.

2010-11 MEN'S BASKETBALL // PREVIEW
On the men’s side, Pac-10 members have won
267 NCAA team championships, far ahead of the
200 claimed by the runner-up Big Ten. Men’s
PAC-10 CONFERENCE
NCAA crowns have come at a phenomenal rate for the Pac-10 - 15 basketball
titles by five schools (more than any other conference), 51 tennis titles, 44
outdoor track & field crowns, and 26 baseball titles. Pac-10 members have
won 24 of the last 41 NCAA titles in volleyball, 36 of the last 51 in water polo,
and 21 in swimming & diving national championships.
Individually, the Conference has produced an impressive number of NCAA
men’s individual champions, as well, boasting 1,171 individual crowns.
On the women’s side, the story is much the same. Since the NCAA began
conducting women’s championships 29 years ago, Pac-10 members have
claimed at least four national titles in a single season on 21 occasions, including 2009-10. Overall, the Pac-10 has captured 123 NCAA women’s titles,
easily outdistancing the SEC, which is second, with 74. Pac-10 members
have dominated a number of sports, winning 22 softball titles, 19 tennis
crowns, 13 of the last 20 volleyball titles, 13 of the last 21 trophies in golf, and
11 in swimming & diving.
Pac-10 women student-athletes shine nationally on an individual basis, as
well, having captured an unmatched 527 NCAA individual crowns, an average of nearly 19 championships per season.
PAC-10 CONFERENCE HISTORY
The roots of the Pacific-10 Conference date back over 90 years to December 2, 1915, when the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was founded at
a meeting at the Oregon Hotel in Portland, Ore. The original membership
consisted of four schools - the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and Oregon State College (now
Oregon State University). All still are charter members of the Conference.

commissioner was named. Edwin N. Atherton was Commissioner in 1940
and was succeeded by Victor O. Schmidt in 1944. In 1950, Montana resigned
from the Conference and joined the Mountain States Conference. The PCC
continued as a nine-team Conference through 1958.

Hamilton’s watch, the name Pacific-8 Conference was adopted in 1968. In
1971, Wiles Hallock took over as Commissioner of the Pac-8.
Ten years later, on July 1, 1978, the University of Arizona and Arizona
State University were admitted to the league and the Pacific-10 Conference
became a reality. In 1986-87, the league took on a new look, expanding to include 10 women’s sports. Thomas C. Hansen was named the Commissioner
of the Pac-10 in 1983, a role he would hold for 26 years until 2009. Hansen
was succeeded by current Commissioner Larry Scott, who took on the new
role in July 2009.
Currently, the Pac-10 sponsors 11 men’s sports and 11 women’s sports.
Additionally, the Conference is a member of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) in four other men’s sports and three women’s sports.
The University of Colorado accepted an invitation to join the Pac-10 on
June 11, 2010, and on June 17, 2010, the University of Utah agreed to join

2010-11 PAC-10 MEN’S BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK
ARIZONA - The Wildcats have 11 returning letterwinners, most among all Pac-10 teams, including four returning starters that were instrumental
in Arizona’s fourth-place Pac-10 finish in coach
Sean Miller’s first season in Tucson. . . . Arizona
saw its streak of 25 straight NCAA Tournament
appearances snapped last season. However, the
talent certainly is there to begin a new streak. .
. . Sophomore F Derrick Williams led the Wildcats in scoring at 15.7 ppg, and rebounding at 7.1
rpg. He was an All-Pac-10 selection last season,
as well as being named the Pac-10 Freshman of
the Year. . . . Williams, along with senior F Jamelle
Horne (9.4 ppg/5.6 rpg) and sophomore F Solomon HIll (6.7 ppg/4.4 rpg) give the Wildcats one
the league’s top frontcourts. . . . While the Wildcats
will miss the services of All-Pac-10 point guard
Nic Wise, the back court looks to be in capable
hands with junior Kyle Fogg (11.1 ppg/3.1 rpg)
and sophomore Lamont Jones (6.6 ppg/1.8 rpg),
as well as talented freshman Jordin Mayes. . . .
Sophomore G/F Kevin Parrom (4.6 ppg/4.2 rpg)
will provide the Wildcats with versatility and defensive toughness. . . . Look for freshman Daniel
Bejarano to provide the Wildcats with points from
outside the three-point arc.
ARIZONA STATE - At 12-6 in league play, the Sun
Devils are coming off their best Pac-10 showing
since back-to-back second place finishes in 1980
and 1981. . . . Coach Herb Sendek earned Pac10 Coach of the Year honors, just the second ASU
coach to earn the honor in 32 years of Pac-10
play (Ned Wulk, 1980). . . . Sendek will rely on
senior G Ty Abbott (12.0 ppg/4.4 rpg), senior G
Jamelle McMillan (6.6 ppg/2.8 apg), and senior
G/F Rihards Kuksiks (12.1 ppg/3.6 rpg). Abbott’s
numbers were even better in league play where
he averaged 14.7 points and 5.7 rebounds. Abbott and Kuksiks combined for 159 three-pointers,
shooting a combined 39.4 percent from beyond
the arc. . . The Sun Devils are coming off a third
straight 20-win season and will look to be first team
in school history to win 20 games in four consecutive seasons. . . . Defensively, the Sun Devils grind
down their opponent as witnessed by their 58.7
points allowed last season, which ranked eighth
in the nation. . . . Certainly missed will be the floor
leadership of Derek Glasser - he only set ASU career records for games played (131), assists (551)
and free throw percentage (.839). . . . Freshmen
looking to contribute will be G Keala King, F Kyle
Cain and C Jordan Bachynski. At 7-2, Bachynski
will be counted on to give a lift to the Sun Devils
on the boards as they were ninth in the league in
rebounding last season.
CALIFORNIA - Last season, the Golden Bears
captured their first league title in 50 years. Now
what they need to overcome for the 2010-11 season - returning players accounted for just 11.7
percent of the team’s scoring and 28.0 percent of
the team’s rebounding totals from last year. . . .
Defensively, Cal will look to junior G Jorge Gutierrez (5.5 ppg/3.0 rpg) to continue to be the catalyst
for a pressuring defense. He also is tops among
the team’s returning players in assists with 81 (2.7
apg) last year. . . . The Bears hope junior F Harper
Kamp is healthy and returns to his 2008-09 form
when he averaged 3.8 points and 3.2 rebounds
per game. He’ll be counted on to pair up with
senior C Markhuri Sanders-Frison (3.3 ppg/3.0
rpg) to give Cal physical low post play. Freshman
F Richard Solomon also will contend for playing
time in the front court . . . Coach Mike Montgomery will have plenty of backcourt depth along with
Gutierrez, he’ll look to sophomore Brandon Smith,
and freshmen Allen Crabbe and Gary Franklin to
compete for minutes. . . . With only two returning
players having just two years of experience each,
the Bears will take advantage of eight home games
before Conference play begins to find the right
combination of talent among the six newcomers.
OREGON - First-year coach Dana Altman has
taken his last 13 squads to the postseason. If he
plans to continue that streak in Eugene, he’ll need
to rely on a junior G Malcolm Armstead (10.3
ppg/2.6 rpg) to lead the way. Armstead returns as
the league’s top assist distributor, having dished
out 4.3 assists per game last season. In addition,
his single-season school-record 65 steals (2.0
spg) are tops among all returnees as well. . . . Joining Armstead in the backcourt will be juniors Teondre Williams (6.4 ppg/2.4 rpg) and Garret Sim
(4.2 ppg/1.7 rpg). Sim is the Ducks top three-point
threat having connected on 26 treys last season.
. . . After missing all but four games last season
with an ailing back, senior F Joevan Catron was
granted a medical hardship waiver and will return
in 2010-11. He posted quality numbers in 200809 with 7.2 points per game and 6.6 rebounds
per game and has played in 96 career games
for the Ducks, starting 57 of those outings. . . .
Having Catron back will certainly help a thin front
court as the Ducks return just two letterwinners
with front court experience - sophomore G/F E.J.
Singler (6.1 ppg/4.3 rpg) and junior F Jeremy Jacob (7.5 ppg/4.8 rpg). . . . A couple of big dates
on the schedule - Saturday, January 1 vs. Arizona
State is the final game in Mac Court, while Thursday, January 13 vs. USC will be the unveiling of
Matthew Knight Arena, Oregon’s state-of-the-art
12,500-seat arena.
Ty Abbott, Arizona State

2010-11 MEN'S BASKETBALL // PREVIEW
Derrick Williams, Arizona
OREGON STATE - Head coach Craig Robinson
will look to blend his veteran group of seniors All-Pac-10 G Calvin Haynes (12.5 ppg/2.3 rpg/50
3FG), F Daniel Deane (3.1 ppg/3.0 rpg), F Omari
Johnson (4.7 ppg/2.6 rpg), and G Lathen Wallace
(5.3 ppg/1.5 rpg) - with a talented group of underclassmen to provide the Beavers with one of
the deepest teams that Corvallis has seen in several years. . . . A solid back court will be centered
on Haynes and Wallace, as well as sophomore G
Jared Cunningham (6.2 ppg/2. 0 rpg) and freshmen G Roberto Nelson and G Ahmad Starks. . .
. The Beavers will provide a front court presence
that may be one of the biggest in the league with
four players standing 6-10 or taller. While sophomore F/C Joe Burton (4.7 ppg/4.5 rpg) may be
the shortest among the frontline players, his
280-pound frame will be a tough one for the opposition to encounter in the paint. In addition to
sophomore F/C Angus Brandt, Robinson will have
five freshmen at his disposal to rotate in the front
court, led by 6-10 C Eric Moreland and 6-11 C
Chris Brown. . . . While the Beavers have been
in back-to-back CBI postseason tournaments,
they are looking to take the next step and find
themselves placed among the 68-team field in the
NCAA Tournament.
STANFORD - One of three Pac-10 squads that
find themselves senior-less this season (also UCLA
and Washington State) . . . . While the Cardinal
lose the services of All-Pac-10 forward Landry
Fields, a second round NBA draft pick of the New
York Knicks, an impressive recruiting class arrives
on campus for head coach Johnny Dawkins. . . . A
veteran back court should keep the young talent in
check. Junior G Jarrett Mann (5.8 ppg/3.4 rpg/4.3
apg) will run the offense, while junior G Jeremy
Green (16.6 ppg/3.8 rpg) will be looked to as the
go-to guy for the Cardinal. Green set a Cardinal single-season record last year with 93 three-pointers.
. . Stanford returns a pair of front court starters in
junior forwards Jack Trotter (6.8 ppg/4.5 rpg) and
Andrew Zimmermann (4.4 ppg/2.9 rpg). However,
there will be a battle over minutes with the addition
PAC-10 MEN'S BASKETBALL
83 blocked shots last season as well. . . . While
senior G Donte Smith (3.8 ppg/1.1 rpg) and junior G Marcus Simmons (3.0 ppg/2.0 rpg) provide
experience in the back court, expect freshman G
Bryce Jones and Maurice Jones to have an immediate impact for the Trojans. In addition, similar
to last season when Mike Gerrity became eligible
at the break and provided a spark to the Trojan
offense, look for junior transfer Jio Fontan to step
into a key role after the conclusion of the semester in December. The difference this year is that
the Trojans will have the opportunity at postseason
play. . . . The Trojans don’t back down when it
comes to non-conference scheduling. The docket
includes games at Nebraska, Kansas and Tennessee, in addition to home games with Texas and
NCAA Tournament participant Lehigh.
Isaiah Thomas, Washington
of highly-rated freshmen recruits Dwight Powell,
Anthony Brown and Josh Huestis. . . . Redshirt
freshmen F Andy Brown was expected to contribute this season, but injured his knee and will be
out for the season. However, the Cardinal received
some good news during the summer when junior
F Josh Owens (6.9 ppg/3.6 rpg in 2008-09), who
sat out last season for health issues, was given
the green light to resume his playing career. . .
. The Cardinal put together a challenging nonconference schedule that includes Virginia, as well
as NCAA Tournament participants Murray State,
UNLV, Butler and Oklahoma State.
UCLA - After posting their first losing season since
2004, head coach Ben Howland is ready to guide
the Bruins back into the NCAA Tournament, but
will have to accomplish the feat without a senior
leader. . . . The back court of junior Malcolm Lee
(12.1 ppg/4.4 rpg/3.1 apg) and junior Jerime Anderson (5.8 ppg/1.9 rpg/3.4 apg), along with the
addition of junior college recruit Lazeric Jones,
will give UCLA solid perimeter play. . . . Freshman G Tyler Lamb can provide a much-needed
scoring punch from long distance as the Bruins
return just 29.7 percent of the team’s three-point
scoring from a year ago. . . . Lean on front court
experience, the Bruins will need consistent play
from sophomore forwards Tyler Honeycutt (7.2
ppg/6.5 rpg), Reeves Nelson (11.1 ppg/5.7 rpg)
and Brendan Lane (2.2 ppg/2.8 rpg). Honeycutt
and Nelson earned Pac-10 All-Freshman team
honors last season and will be joined by redshirt
freshman C Anthony Stover and McDonald’s AllAmerica C Joshua Smith in the post.
USC - Head Coach Kevin O’Neill will lean on his
veteran front court players junior F Nikola Vucevic
(10.7 ppg/9.4 rpg) and senior F Alex Stepheson
(8.4 ppg/7.2 rpg). Vucevic, the Pac-10‘s top rebounder last year and the Pac-10’s Most Improved
Player, teams with Stepheson to provide the the
Trojans with the top front court players in the
league. The duo not only rank 1-2 as the Pac-10’s
top returning rebounders, but they combined for
WASHINGTON - The Huskies put together an
impressive finish to the 2009-10 season, winning
14-of-16 before bowing out of the NCAA Tournament in the Sweet 16. Head coach Lorenzo Romar
returns four starters from that squad. Leading the
way will be junior G Isaiah Thomas, an All-Pac-10
performer who posted 16.9 ppg and 3.2 apg last
year. He’s already amassed 1,134 points in his first
two seasons. The Husky back court also features
sophomore Abdul Gaddy (3.9 ppg/1.4 rpg/2.3
apg) and senior Venoy Overton (8.5 ppg/2.9
rpg/3.1 apg). Overton’s hounding presence on
defense earned him Pac-10 All-Defensive Team
honors. . . . Missed will be forward Quincy Pondexter and his 19.0 ppg/7.4 rpg averages. Pondexter
was an NBA first round draft pick, giving the Pac10 a first round pick in each of the last 22 NBA
drafts. . . . Senior F Matthew Bryan-Amaning (8.8
ppg/5.9 rpg) was impressive down the stretch last
season, averaging 11.8 points and 7.5 rebounds
over the final 14 games, while shooting 59.8 percent from the field. Joining Bryan-Amaning on the
front line will be athletic senior F Justin Holiday
(5.9 ppg/4.5 rpg) and junior F Darnell Gant (2.5
ppg/2.4 rpg), . . . Newcomers expected to make
immediate contributions will be freshman G Terrence Ross and sophomore C Aziz N’Diaye, who
stands 7-0 and tips the scales at 260 pounds.
WASHINGTON STATE - While head coach Ken
Bone’s Cougar squad does not include one senior, he does have the advantage of being the
only coach in the Pac-10 to return all five starters.
Among those five include junior G Klay Thompson (19.6 ppg/5.1 rpg), an All-Pac-10 selection
and the league’s top returning scorer. He scored
20 or more points 17 times last season, including
a 43-point effort vs. San Diego that earned him
Great Alaska Shootout Most Outstanding Player
honors. . . . Joining Thompson in the back court
will be sophomore Reggie Moore (12.7 ppg/2.4
rpg/4.2 apg), a Pac-10 All-Freshman pick, and
junior Marcus Capers (6.9 ppg/4.1 rpg). . . . A stabile front court features junior F DeAngelo Casto
(10.7 ppg/7.0 rpg) and junior F Abe Lodwick (2.5
ppg/2.4 rpg). Casto earned Pac-10 All-Defensive
Team honors after leading the league with 67
blocked shots (2.2 bpg). With Lodwick earning
second team All-Academic honors, the Cougars
were the only team to place a player on the Pac10‘s All-Conference, All-Freshman, All-Defensive,
and All-Academic squads. . . . The starters saw a
lot of minutes last season, so the Cougars will look
for contributions from the bench in order to avoid
wearing down during the later part of the season.
