SEATTLE — There may not have been a more top-heavy conference in the country this season than the Pac-12.
That may best be illustrated by Stanford, which is the No. 4 seed for this week's conference tournament and yet is still ranked No. 11 in the AP Top 25.
For the second straight year, No. 8 Oregon State and No. 10 Arizona State are the top two seeds for the Pac-12 tournament, which begins Thursday. The Beavers and Sun Devils both finished the regular season at 16-2 and shared the conference title.
