On Sunday, the conference released the bracket for the tournament, which begins Thursday and runs through Sunday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
CU (12-17, 2-16 Pac-12) finished the regular season last in the conference for the second time in the last four years and will take on 21st-ranked and fifth-seeded Arizona State (19-9, 10-7) in the first round. Tipoff is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. MT on Thursday and the game will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks.
