The Pac-12 Will Not Win A Game
Only four Pac-12 schools made it to the big dance this year. Arizona, Oregon, Washington State, and Colorado will be the last to represent a conference that will virtually cease to exist next season. In a weak conference, there seemed to be no clear number one all season long. Arizona was the highest-ranked team all year but managed to lose both of their matchups to Washington State. And then an unranked Oregon and Colorado teams found themselves in the Pac-12 Championship game. The boldest of this would be 2-seed Arizona losing to 15-seed Long Beach State. But Long Beach State has been on a tear recently after firing/rehiring coach Dan Monson who led Beach to a conference championship. Oregon faces a tough South Carolina team, Colorado may lose their play-in game to Boise State (thus not really even making the tournament), and Washington State faces a red-hot Drake team. After the Pac-12 dominated in the tournament just a couple of years ago, this will be a sad final display of a depleted conference.
