The Pac-10 Confer-ence continues to uphold its tradition as the “Con-ference of Champions” ®, claiming an incred-ible 171 NCAA team titles over the past 20 years, including eight in 2009-10, averaging nearly nine championships per aca-demic year. Even more impressive has been the breadth of the Pac-10’s success, with champion-ships 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 fin-ished second five times.
Spanning nearly a century of outstanding ath-letics 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 com-petition, the prestigious award that honors the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. STANFORD won its unprecedented 16th-consecutive 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.
The Pac-10 captured eight NCAA titles in 2009-10, tying with the ACC for the most in the country. Of the eight titles, Pac-10 teams claimed a na-tion’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.
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 Bru-ins joined USC as three of only nine Bru-institutions to claim multiple crowns.
The Trojans swept the men’s and women’s wa-ter 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 gymnas-tics and softball. The Pac-10 also had runners-up in 14 NCAA Championship events: men’s cross country (OREGON), women’s soccer (STAN-FORD), men’s water polo (UCLA), women’s
bas-ketball (STANFORD), men’s gymnastics (STAN-FORD), men’s swimming (CALIFORNIA), women’s swimming (STANFORD), men’s indoor track and field (OREGON), baseball (UCLA), softball (ARI-ZONA), 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 oth-er postseason action. The men sent 64 of a pos-sible 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 partic-ipants. 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, post-ing 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 top-25 of the Associated Press’ poll at season’s end, finishing 11th and 22nd, respectively.
Pac-10 regular-season champion WASHING-TON 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 bal-anced race crown the Golden Bears regular-sea-son 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 tour-nament title, the Huskies advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, knocking off No. 6-seed Marquette and No. 3-seed New Mexico.
On the women’s side, two teams competed in the NCAA Tournament and four others competed in postseason play. STANFORD made its third-straight 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 domi-nated the softball field, winning 22 national cham-pionships 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 champi-onship 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 WASHING-TON, which captured the league title with a 17-4 record.
It was a historic year for the Pac-10 in base-ball 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 champi-onship 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.
The Conference swept two men’s and women’s sports, capturing national championship in wa-ter 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.
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, includ-ing 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 aver-age of nearly 19 championships per season.
PAC-10 CONFERENCE HISTORY
The roots of the Pacific-10 Conference date back over 90 years to De-cember 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 Univer-sity of Washington, the UniverUniver-sity of Oregon, and Oregon State College (now Oregon State University). All still are charter members of the Conference.
Pacific Coast Conference play began in 1916 and, one year later, Wash-ington State College (now WashWash-ington State University) was accepted into the league, with Stanford University following in 1918.
In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams with the admission of the Uni-versity of Southern California (USC) and the UniUni-versity of Idaho. In 1924, the University of Montana joined the league roster, and in 1928, the PCC grew to 10 members with the addition of UCLA.
The Pacific Coast Conference competed as a 10-member league until 1950, with the exception of 1943-45 when World War II curtailed intercol-legiate athletic competition to a minimum. During that time, the league’s first 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.
In 1959, the PCC was dissolved and the Athletic Associates of Western Uni-versities was formed and Thomas J. Hamilton was appointed Commissioner of the new league. The original AAWU membership included California, Stan-ford, Southern California, UCLA and Washington. Washington State joined the membership in 1962, while Oregon and Oregon State joined in 1964. Under 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 in-clude 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 Fed-eration (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 the Conference. The Buffaloes and Utes will become the 11th and 12th mem-bers of the Conference, the first additions to the league since 1978.
The Pacific-10 Conference offices are located 25 miles east of San Fran-cisco in Walnut Creek, Calif.

ARIZONA - The Wildcats have 11 returning let-terwinners, most among all Pac-10 teams, includ-ing four returninclud-ing 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 Wild-cats 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 Solo-mon 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 de-fensive 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 Pac-10 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. Ab-bott 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 consecu-tive 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 ca-reer 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 sea-son - 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 Gutier-rez (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 Montgom-ery 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. . . . Join-ing Armstead in the backcourt will be juniors Teo-ndre 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 2008-09 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 Ja-cob (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 Thurs-day, January 13 vs. USC will be the unveiling of Matthew Knight Arena, Oregon’s state-of-the-art 12,500-seat arena.
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 un-derclassmen to provide the Beavers with one of the deepest teams that Corvallis has seen in sev-eral 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 fresh-men 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 sopho-more 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 op-position 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 sin-gle-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

2010-11 MEN'S BASKETBALL // PREVIEW
of highly-rated freshmen recruits Dwight Powell, Anthony Brown and Josh Huestis. . . . Redshirt freshmen F Andy Brown was expected to contrib-ute 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 non-conference 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 An-derson (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. . . . Fresh-man 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 All-America 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 re-bounder 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
83 blocked shots last season as well. . . . While senior G Donte Smith (3.8 ppg/1.1 rpg) and ju-nior 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 im-mediate 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 semes-ter 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 Tennes-see, in addition to home games with Texas and NCAA Tournament participant Lehigh.
WASHINGTON - The Huskies put together an impressive finish to the 2009-10 season, winning 14-of-16 before bowing out of the NCAA Tourna-ment 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 Pondex-ter and his 19.0 ppg/7.4 rpg averages. PondexPondex-ter was an NBA first round draft pick, giving the Pac-10 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 per-cent 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 Ter-rence Ross and sophomore C Aziz N’Diaye, who stands 7-0 and tips the scales at 260 pounds.

PAC-10 MEN'S BASKETBALL
Isaiah Thomas, Washington
Klay Thompson, Washington State
WASHINGTON STATE - While head coach Ken Bone’s Cougar squad does not include one se-nior, 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 Thomp-son (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 sta-bile 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 Pac-10‘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.
