The Pac-12’s top teams struggled away from home, suggesting drama could be in store at the conference tournament.
What we learned on the penultimate weekend of the regular season …Arizona, USC and UCLA have dominated the conference race since round-robin play ramped up in early January — to the point that the outcome of the Pac-12 tournament appeared entirely predictable:
— USC needed double overtime to escape Corvallis and a last-second defensive stand to survive in Eugene.2. The seeding situation remains murky. If you’re attempting to sketch out the brackets for Las Vegas, remember that seeds are determined by winning percentage in conference play.If that doesn’t settle things, the second tiebreaker is winning percentage against “the common opponent occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings, and then continuing down through common opponents in the standings until one team gains an advantage” .
Slipping to the No. 2 seed line could result in the Wildcats being placed in the West region, where they would be scheduled to face No. 1 Gonzaga — coach Tommy Lloyd’s former team — in the Elite Eight.Three teams are locks for March Madness while eight seemingly have been eliminated from the at-large pool and must win the Pac-12 tournament to claim the automatic berth.
Upsets in conference tournaments across the country would shrink the NCAA bubble and narrow Oregon’s path.The Washington coach entered the season in precarious position after two ghastly seasons in Seattle. In our view, Hopkins didn’t need to reach the NCAA Tournament to save his job, but his program needed to show substantive progress.
With five losses in his last six games, a trip to Arizona awaiting and no chance of an NCAA at-large berth, Haase has little to show for a tenure defined by mediocrity — and zero NCAA Tournament appearances.No team possesses more momentum than the Sun Devils, who have won five of their past six after a road sweep of the Mountain schools.We see two primary reasons for the uptick in Tempe, and they’re connected: More efficient offense; and a regular rhythm of competition.
