Voepel wrote last week about the Pac 10's frustration after the almost-upsets of USC over UConn and Stanford over Tennessee.

This weekend was more of the same.

On Friday, Washington lost by 4 to Texas Tech. Giuliana Mendiola had another huge game, but it wasn't enough. Tech scored the final 8 points of the game, and with a chance to tie at the end, Mendiola fumbled the ball in the lane.

On Saturday, USC lost another heartbreaker at home by 2 points to Colorado. Rometra Craig's last-second jumper went in and out. Coach Gobrect said the Trojans looked like freshmen in the second half, as they let the Buffs back in the game, then dropped it.

Yesterday, it was Stanford's turn to lose to Texas Tech. The big news was that Nicole Powell went out with an ankle injury in the first half. The game then turned into a battle of the freshmen between Kristen Newlin and Alesha Robertson. Robertson won.

Texas Tech remains unbeaten, and the Pac 10 remains frustrated.
