I said the winner of the 2023 Pac-12 tournament would face a harder road at the round of 8 than the eventual NCAA champion.
Preposterous? Inconceivable? Last year, South Carolina beat NET #31 Creighton, #5 Louisville, #4 Connecticut. If UCLA wins the conference tournament, the NET rankings of Arizona, Stanford, and Utah are #26, #3, #7. (Fine, if Stanford beats Oregon, UCLA, Utah; or Utah beats WASU, Colorado, Stanford, it’s a wee bit easier.)
Er, I’m assuming Utah won. Another long night of coding, after which I fell asleep at halftime of Stanford-Oregon. How’d we do?
