Pac-12 Basketball Tournament: Bracket update, schedule, TV info for March 9
The Pac-12 Tournament resumes action on Thursday afternoon with 4 games.
On Wednesday, the winners were Colorado, Washington State, Stanford and Arizona State. UCLA opens play on Thursday, as the Bruins are seeking a fifth tourney crown (1987, 2006, 2008, 2014). The Bruins won their 32nd regular-season title by and matched the conference-record of 18 league wins set by Arizona last year.
This is the second straight year, and fifth time in tourney history (1987, 2011, 2014, 2022), that the Bruins and Wildcats enter as the Pac-12 Tournament’s top-two seeds.
The Pac-12 currently has 3 teams in the projected NCAA Tournament field, according to ESPN’s Joe Lunardi. Though the Sun Devils are getting plenty of buzz as a bubble team if they can keep winning in this tournament. Lunardi has UCLA as a 1-seed, Arizona as a 2-seed and USC as a 10-seed.
