We assess the carnage of a miserable year for the Conference of Champions, one in which it was left out of the College Football Playoff and no team advanced past the first round of the NCAA tournament.
The Pac-12 basketball season, born in scandal and defined by mediocrity, came to a calamitous end Thursday night when Arizona suffered a beatdown at the hands of No. 13 seed Buffalo.
That, of course, was only a portion of the conference’s March misery: The first round is halfway over, and the Pac-12 is out of the NCAAs. Done. Gone.
And that, of course, is only a portion of the conference’s six-month nightmare.
