The 2022 Pac-12 men’s basketball tournament is finally here. Postseason basketball is upon us.

From seeds 1 through 12 and Wednesday through Championship Saturday, we’ll have coverage all throughout the tournament. Arizona is trying to win both the regular-season and postseason titles in its return to the conference tournament (the Wildcats sat out the 2020-21 tournament to serve a self-imposed postseason ban). UCLA, USC, and Colorado will look to use a first-round bye to power a championship run. Teams like Oregon and Washington will hope to get hot and build some momentum.

This is the place to keep up-to-date on everything that has happened in the tournament so far. It’ll be updated daily with game recaps and stories from Vegas.
