Pac-12 basketball 1-3 on Day 1 of NCAA Tournament: Utah wins; Arizona, USC, Colorado fall

The Pac-12 was rewarded with some generous seeding going into March Madness. Thanks to some very generous RPI ratings for the conference and very solid wins from most of the teams from top to bottom, a lot of schools received more impressive seeding than you would have imagined (Oregon a surprise 1, Cal a 4, Oregon State a 7, Colorado and USC both 8s).

The conference got bullied into submission on Thursday.

The house of cards the Arizona Wildcats had been struggling to hold up all season came tumbling down against Wichita State, where the Shockers defense imposed their will from the tip and never let up.
