On Sunday night, the NCAA Tournament selection committee revealed the 68 teams to be included in this year’s NCAA Tournament and while Oregon State may not have been one of them (for those of you still holding out hope), four other teams from the Pac-12 were included in the final field. Arizona, Oregon, UCLA and USC will all represent the “Conference of Champions” in the big dance, hopeful to end the Pac-12’s “Final Four drought”, which hasn’t seen a team advance to the first weekend in April since UCLA back in 2008.
Arizona (30-4) is the highest-seeded team from the Pac-12 in the NCAA Tournament, whose victory in the Pac-12 Championship game helped secure the league’s automatic bid, as well as their position in the field as a #2 seed in the West Region.
