If you think Pac-12 football took a beating on social media this fall, the commenters were just getting warmed up for Pac-12 men’s basketball.
Through Sunday’s games, nine of the Pac-12’s teams have winning records. But that doesn’t tell the story. What matters are games against quality opponents, and here the Pac-12 has fallen on its face.
Oh, the Pac-12 has a few good wins. Stanford over Kansas. Arizona State over Mississippi State. Arizona over Iowa State. Oregon over Syracuse.
But many more losses against top opponents. In games against teams among the top 100 in the NCAA Net rankings, the Pac-12 is a sorry 12-27.
