A pair of late-season losses cost preseason favorite Arizona the chance at three-peating as regular-season Pac-12 conference champions this season. Instead, Oregon slipped in the back door to claim its first conference title in over a decade.
Nonetheless, it's the Wildcats who are favored on the odds to win the Pac-12 tournament this week at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.
Heading into this week's festivities, the top four teams in the Pac-12's regular-season standings—the Ducks, Utah, California and the Wildcats—are likely already in when it comes to the upcoming NCAA tournament.
A few others—namely Colorado, USC and Oregon State—still harbor hopes of earning a berth by winning a couple of games this week.
