Pac-12 Tournament 2021 Preview
Depending on who you talk to, USC, Colorado and Oregon are all potential favorites to come out on top in the tournament. The Ducks are the top seed, but anything can happen in March, with dark horse candidates like the UCLA Bruins and Stanford waiting in the wings. Oregon closed the season winning five in a row, and after handing Oregon State a 80-67 loss Sunday, won the Pac-12 title. They don’t want to stop there.
“This isn’t the only goal we had; this is part of the journey,” forward Eugene Omoruyi told the Washington Post. “We have our next goal now. Just keep cranking out goals, one at a time.”
The top five seeds will get byes in the first round, as opposed to the top four, as it has been in previous years. In the first game of the tourney, the Washington Huskies will take on the Utah Utes.
“I don’t think there are going to be any surprises as far as what they do,” Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said about the Huskies this week. “They are a unique zone team (with) a lot of length and present a lot of different challenges for you. They have got good size and good senior leadership in their backcourt. Those are things that are always valuable this time of year.”
Here’s a list of the teams playing in the Pac-12 Tournament, ranked by seed in the tourney:
- Oregon (14-4 Pac-12, 19-5 overall)
