Finally! We get to watch and enjoy as the top two teams in the Pac-10 go at it, with first place in the conference on the line. The coaches and players can talk until they're blue in the face about this game not being Derrick Williams vs. Isaiah Thomas. I don't want to hear it, and I don't believe you. Sure, I agree that it is a team sport, and the best overall team will win. But this game, and the match-up in Tucson later this season, will go a long way in the argument over who will be the Pac-10 player of the year. It may also have significant draft implications.
