Pac-12
Projected Champion: Arizona
Possible Contenders: USC
At-Large Bids:
UCLA, Oregon,
Stanford, Arizona State
Arizona
is a big favorite here and is a real threat to win the National
Championship. Unfortantely for them
they have two things working against them.
First is Sean Miller who, maybe unfairly, has been labeled as a coach
who can’t get over the hump and get this team to a Final Four. Second, the big recruiting scandal has hit
the Wildcats. Nothing big has come down
yet but that’s a cloud you don’t want around all season. Without that this is a Final Four team. Going back to the scandal, USC is affected as
well. Maybe a contender for the Pac-12
title they will be held down as well.
Depth is solid and there is a lot of talent. Andy Enfield is a great coach and he should
be able to get the most out of this group.
As for the at-large group I don’t think we a have much above a 7
seed. Oregon will be good but not great
after losing a ton. Stanford will be
solid and Arizona State is on the rise with Bobby Hurley. Watch for ASU to take over this conference in
2-3 years
