The Pac-12 basketball tournament is set to get underway and the field has been finalized. While teams make their push for the 2019 NCAA Tournament, there’s plenty of work left to be done. The Washington Huskies were the class of the conference this year, posting a 15-3 record in Pac-12 play, but will have plenty of competition for the title.
It’s been an up-and-down season for teams in the conference, and ESPN’s Joe Lunardi currently has just two teams from the conference heading to the dance. This includes Washington projected as a No. 8 seed and Arizona State as a No. 11. Lunardi does currently have the Sun Devils listed as one of the last four teams avoiding a play-in game as well.
The Pac-12 features quite a few talented scorers and intriguing players, with Washington State’s Robert Franks leading the league at 22.1 points per game. Oregon State’s Tres Tinkle posted a mark of 20.7 points this season while USC’s Bennie Boatright tallied 18.1 points per game.
A few other names for fans to keep an eye on during the push for the conference title include Washington guard Jaylen Nowell, who averaged 16.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game while shooting 50.4 percent. Arizona State forward Zylan Cheatham was a force on the boards, averaging a double-double this season with 11.6 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.
We’re going to breakdown the finalized tournament bracket or the Pac-12, with the action set to get underway on Wednesday, March 13.
