The Pac-12 expected to get six, maybe even a record-tying seven teams, into last season’s NCAA Tournament.
The conference’s hopes, like those of leagues and teams across the country, were dashed when March Madness was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As the pandemic-delayed 2020-21 season starts, the Pac-12 is again in position to have one of the toughest, deepest conferences in college basketball.
“A year ago, overall we had one of our best seasons as a conference,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said. “This year, I think it might be the strongest year in my 12 years in the Pac-12 because from top to bottom, it’s so strong and we have so much returning experience.
