Pac-12 Tournament bracket officially set: TV info, schedule
Pac-12 Tournament basketball is upon us.
A four-game slate on Saturday saw the regular season come to an official close. With that, the 2023 ACC Tournament bracket has been finalized.
The top two seeds in the field were already locked up entering the day, meaning a top-10 showdown between No. 4 UCLA and No. 8 Arizona was largely about bragging rights. The Bruins won the game at home, 82-73, giving them a season split with the Wildcats.
Those two, after meeting for the tournament title last season, are expected to get back to the championship game again this season.
USC and Oregon rounded out the top four, respectively. They’ll earn byes in the tournament and begin play on Thursday, March 9. Oregon clinched its No. 4 seed with a 73-68 win over Stanford on Saturday.
The rest of the tournament field can be seen below.
This year’s tournament will once again take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The tournament will be broadcast almost exclusively on the Pac-12 Network. One quarterfinal game and one semifinal game are slated to be carried on ESPN, as is the championship.
All times are Pacific.
