The PAC-12 Tournament has two of the best teams in the country at the top, and then a few teams looking to secure NCAA Tournament berths, followed by a majority of the conference trying to steal bids to the ‘Big Dance.’
UCLA is on track for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and that can be secured with a title in Las Vegas, Nevada as the top seed in the PAC-12 tournament. Behind them is Arizona, who is likely tracking for a No. 2 seed in the tourney.
Behind those two, chaos reigns as Arizona State and USC need to keep up their level of play to secure an NCAA Tournament berth and a handful of other teams such as Oregon and Washington State who would love to make some noise in the PAC-12 tournament and make a late run at a bid.

PAC-12 Conference tournament prediction and pick
UCLA is a cut above the competition in the PAC-12 this season, and I think it shows in Las Vegas.
The Bruins went 18-2 in league play with the lone loss coming on the road to Arizona and USC in back-to-back games. However, those two teams are in the bottom half of the bracket and are on a collision course for the semifinals.
UCLA should be able to navigate the top half of the bracket with the league’s best defense and reliable play making from Jaime Jaquez and Tyger Campbell.
It’s chalky, but I see the Bruins as the runaway winner of the PAC-12 tournament.
