Since Arizona, Oregon and UCLA are three of the best teams in college basketball, the 2017 Pac-12 tournament should be a wild and entertaining event.
But the excellence from those programs has also resulted in a top-heavy outlook for the four-day showcase at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Is any other Pac-12 team capable of surviving that group to pull off a stunning championship run?
Unless Cal or USC grabs a marquee win (or two), the conference might be without a fourth representative in the field of 68 for the NCAA tournament. Otherwise, Utah highlights the group of programs needing that unexpected title to continue their season.
