The day is finally here.
After 18 hectic conference games, Arizona State and its league contemporaries will gather for a four-day battle in Las Vegas seeking the Pac-12 Tournament title. By Saturday, one will walk away with the conference’s elusive bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The Sun Devils are the No. 2 seed, and therefore receive a bye before facing No. 10 Stanford or No. 7 UCLA in tomorrow’s quarterfinal round. Washington, Utah and Oregon State will also receive an extra day of preparation.
This tournament is one viewed as wide open. While Washington and ASU have separation at the top, teams ranked three through 10 are parted by a maximum of three games, giving each squad an opportune chance to advance.
